I’ve been looking forward to reading The Land Beneath Us, but now that I’ve finished, I’m a little sad this wonderful series has concluded. So now that I know how things worked out – I’m so glad!! It was the perfect conclusion. I even got teary at the end. I […]
There is such a beauty to Laura Frantz’s writing style that resonates with my soul. Slipping into her stories is like slipping into my coziest pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate. Evocative, beautifully descriptive, with the ability to transport me to a different time that is at once familiar […]
The Way of the Brave is such a gripping story! Susan May Warren is so good at creating characters who are brave and strong and yet broken. Both Orion and Jen had been traumatized by events in Afghanistan three years earlier. Jen had hoped to never see Ry again, fearing […]

I have always loved Biblical fiction and the way the authors who write it give a different perspective on the events recorded in the Scriptures. So when I was given the opportunity to read this book, of course, I accepted. The Heart of a King is a fascinating look at […]
The ripple effect. You throw a stone into the water and the ripples extend far beyond what you can see. Our lives are like that in so many ways. The things we do affect others, not just ourselves. I recently read through the life of King David, and instead of […]
It is so maddening to me when people expect me to second guess! Dropping hints and supposing that I will listen to what they didn’t say instead of what they do say. I am one of those people who appreciate directness (with kindness, of course!). If you want me to […]
