In the Deep ~ Stacey Weeks

When Kye takes on as camp director to get the youth summer camp back into shape, he is also doing it to stop from being a 30 year old burn out from his previous job.  His first day at camp he meets Grace who has been at the camp since Uncle Carl has been the director, now she finds out that he has retired and Kye is the new Uncle Carl.  The two don't hit it off and both are very strong willed but both have the same drive to save the summer camp.  When circumstances start to happen, are they accidents or are they sabotage?  Do Kye and Grace work together to find out if someone is out to take the camp?

I would recommend this to young readers as it is a short book and easy reading.  It's a good story for an afternoon read that will keep the reader wondering what is going to happen.

About the Book

Book:  In Too Deep
Author: Stacey Weeks
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Release Date: November 2017

Like an anchor wedged in the lake floor, Grace Stone’s heart is submerged in the past. Drowning in guilt over the role she played in her father’s and sister’s deaths, Grace prays that launching her water survival program at Camp Moshe will properly honor their memory and enable her to move on. But success depends on Grace risking everything on the man hired to rebrand the Christian camp. Kye Campton’s usual confidence wavers when his extreme sports campaign lands him in hot water with the cautious instructor and it becomes increasingly evident that Camp Moshe’s fight for survival is against more than a declining economy. Will Kye be able to save the camp—and Grace—from a saboteur determined to close the camp at any cost?

Why I Write Christian Romance

In Too Deep builds the romance between Kye and Grace through their emotional connection and growing respect. In all my novels, the plot moves the story forward—not shocking or steamy scenes. I take Ephesians 5:4 seriously, “Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.”

I love romance because I believe that each one of us are in the middle of a love story. Some of our love stories are like In Too Deep. They’re full of heart-wrenching moments and climatic events. They might even have you biting your nails wondering if good will ever prevail. Some love stories are like a feel-good-girls-night-out, and everything falls into place at the right moment and clicks. And some of you are thinking – love story? – yeah right!

I don’t know your circumstances or life, but what I hope all my readers understand is that there is Someone who does. He is greater than any fictional prince, and He left his kingdom to pursue your heart. Not only is He pursuing you, but He is writing your story as a part of His story. He has promised that the stories of all His children end in victory for His glory.

While we wait for certain victory, we can refresh our weary souls with clean, wholesome, and God-honouring stories. Stories of purity, highlighting characters that honour God first. Stories that contain illustrations of how true satisfaction comes from a right relationship with God not from a human relationship. In Too Deep thrives within the boundaries God has created for love, and that gives hope to those who have only known broken love. Not hope in the right man, but hope in the Lord.

In this genre, you can count on your happy ending—and I like that. But more importantly than Grace finding her one-true-love is her growth in her walk with the Lord. More important than saving the day, winning the girl, and defeating the villain is Kye’s surrender to God.

So yes, I write romance. But the real story is exposing the lies Kye and Grace believe about themselves, the world, or God and proving those lies to be untrue. The real story is that God is the Hero, the pursuer of our hearts, and the lover of our souls.

I would recommend this to anyone of any age that wants a story with a little romance, takes place in 1829 and has mystery of friendship and forgiveness.  This is the third book of the series but can be read as a stand alone as each book of the series is about a different character and circumstance. The common factor is that they all take place on Leeward Island.  This is a good read that will keep you interested in the island, the time of era and the people of the community.... I enjoy this series because it is so loving and heartfelt of  a read and gives you different looks at women on the island.  I always read this series slow because I don't want them to end.  Lori has become one of my favorite writers.

A ring is her only tie to a distant homeland, until a marooned Englishman anchors her heart.
Hannah Rose Barrington is the island misfit.

Caught between the classes of elite planters and white beggars, Hannah yearns to find a place to belong.

More from Lorri
The Sugar Baron’s Ring is the third book in the Leeward Island series. My heroine is caught between social classes as the daughter of a sugar baron and an impoverished white beggar since her guardian sold her inheritance to pay his debts. To generate the feeling of being a misfit, I delved back to those awkward years of middle and high school, where we often struggle to discover where we belong. Before my senior year, my family and I moved to New England for a job change. I’d had a great group of friends at my old school, but at my new school, I was a stranger—an outsider—trying to find acceptance, much like Hannah.
Bradlee, the hero, on the other hand, was fashioned in a completely different manner. At my house, the slang terms “bruh” and “noob” are tossed around by my three boys, along with constant fraternal teasing. A lot of their sarcastic wit and camaraderie are portrayed through Bradlee and his grand tour companion, Colin. Their light-hearted banter depicts the tight bonds of a deep relationship where faults may be mocked, but offenses are overlooked, and if ever in trouble, they have each other’s backs. Hannah is drawn to Bradlee, craving a similar connection but loses her heart to him in the process.
The first opening scene came about because my family loves Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. After binge-watching practically every episode, I knew my hero and heroine would meet under the duress of a shiny, steel-gray fin plowing through the water. (Queue the Jaws theme song.) However, our resourceful heroine contains the strength to rescue the hero as opposed to the other way around.
All these things, being a misfit, teasing, and shark attacks, playout in a grander scheme to show how God never leaves us nor forsakes us. He’s laying out the pieces of our happily-ever-after while developing our character and purpose. The Sugar Baron’s Ring demonstrates how God’s light shines bright even in the darkness.

More from Diane
You can often guess someone’s age by considering their name. Diane, for example, was popular in the 1950s, so . . . that tells you something about me.
But God’s personal name? Well, it’s ageless. Just like Him.
When Moses met God at the burning bush and received the task of leading the Israelites out of Egypt, he wasn’t exactly thrilled at first. He peppered God with questions, including, “When I tell the people that I met you here and you gave me this assignment, they’re going to want to know your name. What should I tell them?”
The Israelites had just about forgotten who the God of their fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was.
But God hadn’t forgotten them. Not at all. God told Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. . . . Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’” (Exodus 3:14).
I AM WHO I AM. I always have been. I will always be. I will never change.
Choosing a book title is rarely easy, and choosing a title for this book about the names of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit took a long time. I couldn’t be more grateful to the Tommy Nelson publishing team who developed and settled on the title I AM: 40 Reasons to Trust God.
My prayer for every child who reads this book and every family that goes through the book together, and for myself: May we all grow mightily in our understanding of who God is and our relationship with Him! As Psalm 9:10 says, “Those who know your name put their trust in you.”

The Green Dress ~ Liz Tolsma

This is book 6 in the True Color series of fictional stories but true history books.  This story is written from a true murder that happens in Boston during 1882, the story is fiction and has been changed some.  Liz gives the actual background in the back of the book, do not read until you read the book!  This is the story of  Harriet and how she has run away from home and moved in with her friends family and then has gone out on her own.  She is forced to move back with this family after her friend Lizzie has died of a strange illness and makes Harriet promise her she will look after the 2 children.  Harriett agrees and feels she must give up everything to keep her word to her friend.  The house Lizzie lives in is with her whole family, mother, brothers, sister, cousins, aunts and uncles.... Only most have all pasted away the past few years with the same illness and all have died.  What is the cause of this illness, is it the house, is it the enviroment, is it a condition in the family genes?  No one knows, will Harriet be next?  Can she keep her promise to her friend or will she end up the same as the others?  What is the true meaning of the green dress???

I would recommend this to those that really like a good mystery that moves along and has some truth behind the story.  This is book 6 in the series however, each book is of a different true historical read, so you can read anyone of them in any order or just this one. This book kept me reading until the end, twist and turns.  The story keeps you guessing and at the end the real reason for the green dress is a draw dropper.... It is one that you want your friends to read so you can talk about it with them..... GREAT MYSTERY!!!

More from Liz
We’ve all been there—started a letter or an email or even a list, didn’t like what we had, crossed it out or hit the delete button, and tried again. Now imagine that happening when you’re writing a novel.

That’s what occurred with The Green Dress. Finding the perfect place to start a novel can be tricky, but when you’re trying to balance fact with fiction, it’s even harder. I needed the fictional heroine, Harriet Peters, to have a good reason to come into contact with and become close to the factual Robinson family. And I needed for the hero, Michael Wheaton, to meet Harriet early on. So I dove into the story. Five chapters later, the hero and heroine hadn’t yet met. The book wasn’t working.

I scrapped those chapters and started at a different point. At first, it seemed to be going better. I was happy. Until I got to the fifth chapter, when I realized again that the book wasn’t working. Frankly, it was boring. So those ended up in the virtual trash bin. Meanwhile, the clock was ticking on my deadline. I was desperate to find the right starting point, at a place with high tension. Finally, I had an “aha” moment, and the story flowed from there. That’s how the first five chapters (and the rest of The Green Dress) came to be.

A River to Cross ~ C.L. Smith

This is book 2 of the Stones of Gil Gal series, this book is of Biblical History. When the Israelite people entering into Canaan and all they encounter through the journey.  The story is told through the feelings and journey of many characters, Acsah, Othniel, Jonathan, Salmon, Caleb, Phinehas and Rahab.  Nothing is held back, the adventure, trials, tribulations, blessings is all in this story.  Everyone has heard of Moses and the parting of the Sea, but this book takes it to a new level that most couldn't imagine.  Who will survive?  Will they keep their faith?  Will you look at the bible a different way after reading this?

I would recommend this to mature adults that are interested in reading a fictional bible story that is detailed and written in a moving way that it feel like the bible is coming alive on the pages.  When reading this it will make you want to take out your bible and read and then compare..... such good writing done by Carolyn (C.L.).  The story is fictional however, it with bible verses incorporated into the story. Even though this is book 2 of the series it can be read as a standalone, but both are so good that you won't want to miss any of this series.

About the Book

Book:  A River to Cross
Author: C.L. Smith
Genre:  Biblical Fiction
Release Date: November, 2017

Although human eyes see only a river separating Israel from the Promised Land, primordial powers of darkness are determined to prevent a crossing that will change the world.

In the thrilling sequel to Balaam’s Curse, Acsah, Othniel, Jonathan and their friends sort through the rubble of the Midianite war for pieces of the simple and innocent life they’ve lost. But there is no going back. While nearly drowning in personal rivers of disappointment, grief, and fear, they hardly notice the Jordan River slowly rising to an impassable, raging torrent. By the time they do, Moses is dead. Yahweh has made it clear that Joshua is his chosen replacement, but the people have little faith that this hesitant man can lead them into Canaan.

To bolster confidence, Joshua sends Salmon and another young spy across the river in a reconnaissance mission that plunges them into a world where evil prowls in broad daylight and death waits in the darkness. They escape the depraved city of Jericho only by the quick thinking of a Canaanite girl who risks her life in exchange for a promise of rescue. Now her life and the future of the world depend on crossing that river.

This deeply-researched telling, of old stories makes them new again and relevant to our world today. She has completed three of six books in the series.

HAVE YOU EVER?

• tried reading Old Testament stories and wondered why such violence is found in the Good Book?
• heard anyone say, “I like Jesus, but the God of the Old Testament seems so blood-thirsty and vengeful”?
• wondered how Joshua’s army—slaughtering whole towns because God told them to—was different from ISIS and other militant religious armies today?

Have you ever wished you had good answers for people who ask those questions?

Imagine a story that deals with those questions and reads like the high adventure of an epic fantasy novel. Well, you don’t have to imagine. The Stones of Gilgal novels tackle those tough questions.

 A River to Cross is the second book of The Stones of Gilgal series––but plunge right in! Each book can be read as a story complete within itself.

Background from book one: The children of Israel celebrate their arrival at the border of Canaan, their long-awaited Promised Land. But the evil prophet Balaam has been hired to stop them. His plot turns their joyful celebration into a nightmare. Balaam’s Curse threatens the very existence of God’s people on earth, leads to the death of the last of the Exodus generation, and leaves their children reeling.

Setting for book two: The crisis is past. Acsah, Othniel and friends begin picking up the pieces of their shattered lives. Their parent’s generation is gone, but against all odds, they survived the rebellion, plague, and war initiated by Balaam’s Curse. Like a loving grandfather, Moses gathers his people together for his final words. He reviews the covenant law and appoints Joshua as their new leader. The people grieve the loss of their mountain of strength. But inspired by the passion of his farewell speeches, the people look to the future with fiercely bright hope. They will cross the Jordan and claim their inheritance. What could possibly go wrong?

The Characters
Six of the major characters in this series are minor but real people found in scripture. They all came of age during the era of Joshua, experiencing the transition from the Wilderness Wanderings to finding a home in the Promised Land. They all crossed the Jordan, witnessed the fall of Jericho and the sun standing still at a word from Joshua—life-changing events shaping them for leadership roles as mature adults in the book of Judges.

• Othniel, who becomes the first hero-Judge of Israel––Judges 3:7-11
• Acsah, only daughter of the heroic Caleb––Judges 1:12-15
• Rahab, the courageous Canaanite harlot not only saved by faith but honored with a place in the lineage of King David and Jesus Christ. Joshua 2
• Salmon, prince of the tribe of Judah, future husband of Rahab––only found in genealogies: Ruth 4:18-22, Matthew 1:5
• Phinehas, grandson of Aaron, warrior of righteousness and future high priest––Numbers 25, 30, Joshua 22, and Judges 20,
• Jonathan, grandson of Moses––Judges 17-18
• Plus Abihail, fictionalized daughter-in-law of the biblical Achan, Joshua 7

About the Book

Book:  Miracles for Veterans
Author: Joan Hunter
Genre:  Non-fiction, Christian Living
Release Date: May 15, 2020

Military veterans experience stress and trauma that civilians cannot even begin to imagine. No matter what branch they were in, whether they saw combat or not, their service left an indelible mark on their bodies, hearts, and minds, souls and spirits. Even those who have not suffered external injuries can be affected by post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, anger, and other issues. They need healing on multiple levels.

Joan Hunter tackles all of the problems that veterans face in her new book, Miracles for Veterans. She covers some of the root causes; the positive aspects of service, such as growth and maturity, as well as the negative effects, including physical, emotional, and spiritual injury; and the consequences of service on general and cellular memory. Joan offers guidance to those ministering to veterans, healing prayers, and insights on prevention.

Among the testimonials included in Joan’s book is that of Auston O’Neill, 71, who travels throughout the United States to play “Taps” on his bugle for any deceased veteran whose family requests it as a member of Bugles Across America.

Auston is battling terminal cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes, but his faith is strong. “You know, I believe in God for my healing,” he says. “I’m getting stronger as the days go by. I’m not getting weaker.”

Joan notes God is limitless and His Word is true. He is ever ready to heal us if we only will believe.

What Momma Left Behind ~ Cindy K. Sproles

This book takes place in 1877, Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee.  When Worie Dressar is left to take care of orphaned children after the community she has grown up in and still lives was hit by the flu that took most of her friends, family and town people.  She is determined to save these children from starvation and bringing them up, when she has to deal with two brothers that are bad news.  One is a drunk and the other one is only out for what he can get.  Can Worie save the children and her home?  Will she be able to forgive?  What will happen if you don't follow God and have faith.

I would recommend this to anyone that like to read a heartfelt historical read.  It was touching story that had forgiveness all through it.  It is a book that once you start reading you can't stop reading because you want to know what is going to happen.  As you read you think you know what the outcome is going to be and surprise it doesn't end the way you think it will.   A delightful read for any afternoon or evening read, just give yourself enough time to read the whole thing in one setting as you will need to know what happens.
