Sometimes there just nothing like a good ole’ whodunnit. But in the case of ‘Buried Secrets’ by Irene Hannon , you find out early on whodunnit, but small town police chief Lisa Grant doesn’t know whodunnit. As a matter of fact, she’s not sure whose bones those are that popped up in her sleepy, little […]

I could not put this book down! First of all, this is one of my favorite genres – Christian historical fiction with stories set in Biblical times about real Biblical characters. Secondly, Mesu Andrews is one of my favorite authors of this genre. If you are a churchgoer, or you’ve seen the movie ‘The Ten […]

I have to admit, when I received this book for review, I was surprised that one of the authors was Rebecca St. James. I thought, “It couldn’t be the Rebecca St. James that was such a popular Christian music artist awhile back…could it?” I flipped to the back of the book where the authors’ bios […]

Okay – so theoretically, this is the kids version of this book, but I have to tell you that I enjoyed it immensely! And I can’t wait to read it to my seven year old. Ben Carson was one of two children living in a poor area in inner city Detroit and being raised by […]

If you are a Christian, you have likely heard scripture about being set free. And maybe you wondered about that. Set free from what? How? Why? In Robert Morris’ book, ‘Set Free’, you are going to learn some truths about being free, and about a freedom available to you that you may not have even […]

If you’re like me, you inherently realize the value of strong female friendships. And after all, all of the women in the ‘female fiction’ books you read, or TV shows (think Rachel and Monica and Phoebe) or movies (Thelma and Louise? Beaches?) seem to have learned that finding and maintaining those relationships is a piece […]

When reading the title of this book, ’16 Verses’, you may be offended. “The Bible is so much more than 16 verses,” you exclaim. “And each and every single verse is important, especially to those of us who believe that this book is God’s Holy Word – every last word of it.” You would be […]

I don’t think I have ever had a book so small packed with so much wisdom and insight. I think it’s very likely that either you or someone you know has been in a position of experiencing a prodigal son or daughter. The parents did their best to raise their child in the nurture and […]

Like others, I had never read a fictional story by Max Lucado. But since he is one of my favorite authors, I wanted to give it a go. And anything set in a cafe with yummy baked goods has to be a delicious read, right? Chelsea thought she had it all: a successful and handsome […]

Max Lucado’s ‘On Calvary’s Hill’ makes the events surrounding the crucifixion jump out and grab you. There are 40 readings in the book, leading up to the death and resurrection of Christ. You will read about the events of Holy Week in language that’s easy to understand, and that takes you moment by moment, from […]
