Let's Read

Hello! New member, first-time poster.

I am currently reading Red Scarf Girl: A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution by Ji-Li Jiang. The audience is middle-grade, but the subject matter and story can be meaningful for adults as well. I'm the type of perso

I am hooked on Patricia Bradley books! I just finished the 3rd book in the Logan Point series and can't wait to get the last one!  This is the first book in this series. Check her out, she's a Mississippi author too!!

I'm currently reading The Politically Homeless Christian: How to Conquer Political Idolatry, Reject Polarization, and Recommit to God's Greatest Two Commandments by Aaron Schafer.

The work has many good ideas in dealing with the other side, whichever

I just finished reading Keeley Brooke Keith's  "Uncharted Beginnnings" and "Uncharted" series. These are all available in large print whic is a plus for us since we have many readers who need large print. The books are about people who left the US i

Our team is currently hooked on Charles Martin books. Just about all of us have now read his Murphy Shepherd series. We are thinking through a strategy to encourage all parents to read these two books. The story truly ramps up awareness of what is cu

The book's title is Saving Eric by Joan Deneve. It was written by a sweet lady that teaches at a private christian school in Millbrook, Al. about 15 min. from my home. It may not have changed my life personally but it is the first book I recommend to

This is science fiction by CS Lewis. I'm enjoying it right now because I'm fairly new at running the church library and I've decided I need to get smart on the classics first. (Side bar: has anyone NOT read the Narnia books?)

I'm currently on Prelandr

Hi everyone! Long-time reader, first-time poster. ;) 

I thought you might enjoy checking out my new novel, Sweeter. It's an inspirational novel, but a large part of the setting is within a church community, which I hope readers will find fun.

About a year ago we were dealing with our space problem (lack of) and reluctantly began to weed the fiction section.  The rest of the library was fairly easy, but since I LOVEChristian fiction, this became a chore.  Several books were easy, some very

The prayer, below, is so appropriate for what we are going through now, due to this pandemic of COVID19, in particular with trying to comply and obey those who rule over us.

This beautiful prayer is from a book I'm reading called, "Shiloh Autumn," by

My Labor Day weekend reading will be "The End Times Survival Guide," by Mark Hitchcock, which was published in 2018.  This is not a prediction book.  It talks about ten biblical strategies for faith and hope in these uncertain days.  Staying strong i

Several months ago I discovered a new-to-me author, Robert Whitlow.  After reading only one of his books, I was hooked on his writing and storey telling skills.  He is a Christian man who writes Christian fiction, legal stories which are suspenseful,

During our covid "stay at home", I read some "new to me" authors.  There were 2 delightful series that I can recommend and will probably buy for our church library.  

The Culper Ring Series and the Conspiracy of Spies Series are outstanding historical

I am currently reading Ginny Dye's series, historical fiction about Civil War days and what happened after. The series is called "The Bregdan Chronicles."

It's funny how we librarians are so busy doing library work that we don't get to read the books we purchase...so this summer I decided to read the Baxter Family Series in order...and should complete it shortly.

Now I need to get busy and order more of

Lorene Lumpkin's family gave the Enrichment Center her collection of Jennifer Chiaverini quilts novels. Lorene was still enjoying these when she passed away at age 102. Now I am hooked on these just like Lorene.

A couple of weeks ago I completed the

Thoroughly enjoyed Kate DiCamillo's book, Because of Winn-Dixie. Someone donated the original hard copy which is no longer available. First published in 2000. Newbery Award winner. Would love to see parents read this book with their children. The ta
