GOD in the Dark ~ Sarah An Diest (Devotional)

This is a 31 daily devotional book that goes along with Psalm 119.  Sarah wrote this as a friend was going through a very dark time and she wanted to help him out with prayer and faith of GOD.  She gives a few verses of Psalm 119 and then shares the letter that she wrote to her friend each day.  The letters are short and very easy to read, with great understanding of how the verse can bring you out of the darkness and into the light if you believe. 

This is a great book for anyone going through a difficult and/or dark time.  Each daily devotional is a quick and easy read.  You can read from the beginning to the end or read where ever you open the book up to.  You can read and put down or read and take time to study it, it is all up to you.  This is a great book for anyone that needs that encouragement.

I can only Imagine a memoir by Bart Millard ~

This is the story of how Bart Millard wrote the hit song, "I can only Imagine" and now a major motion picture.  It is about forgiveness and how GOD gives us the grace to accept everyone.  Bart tells of his childhood or abuse and poverty.  He gives us a deep look into how he wrote "I can only Imagine" about him, his dad and how GOD worked in their lives.  I love the comment of when Bart says how long it took him to write the song and hears back, "Bart, this song took you your whole life to write"

This book is for everyone to read and enjoy how the grace of GOD knows the work HE is doing and how we have to keep the faith and trust in GOD to get us through it all... Buy this book and see the movie, you will not regret it.

The Masterpiece ~ Francine Rivers

EXCELLENT BOOK!  A MUST READ!  This is the story of Grace, single mother trying to get her life together and support her child.... Roman is an artist and a ladies man that hires Grace as his assistant.  As the story goes, we learn the present and the past of each of their lives and why they both have certain attitudes and ways about them.  Grace is a believer and Roman is not, which brings questions about why Grace is always on the defense of Roman's comments and life style.  

If you are a fan of Redeeming Love you will love this book, if haven't read it... go get it now.  This is a book that will leave you turning the pages and wishing you didn't have to sleep.  The story is over 500 pages and is not a book you can read in an afternoon, you will need to spend time reading this book as you will want to take it all in.  This is my new favorite of Francine Rivers!!!

If I Live! ~ Terri Blackstock

This is book #3 of the series and an excellent ending.  This book gives us the conclusion to Casey being on the run and how Dylan is trying to save her.  The story picks up where book #2 ends, with  little bit of background from the previous books.  Filled with suspense and a definite page turner, this book will keep you reading from beginning to end and as usual has the twists and turns to keep you guessing.

I would recommend anyone that like reading a good suspenseful, drama and page turner, this book is for you.  I would also recommend you to read all 3 books that will give you more of a background and understanding of all the characters.
