My good friend Marilyn Parker has just released her newest novel - the second in her Strugglers series - and I found it absolutely riveting. Yes, evil Queen Jezebel surely ranks as one of the cruelest and most despicable characters in the Bible. But

Many of us are in churches that are focusing on making disciples. I just finished a book that has remarkably deepened my relationship with Jesus Christ. I will be purchasing a personal copy to experience a second time. Author Charles Martin wrote the
The second book in this series is now available by one of our Church Librarians Network members. Hardback is coming soon!
Well done, Karin!
Summer is now complete with the heat in most of our areas. So take a few minutes to share what you are reading during these hot summer days? Fiction? Non-Fiction?
I am just about finished reading the book Appalachian Song by Michelle Shocklee. I've r
The authors of historical fiction as well as other Christian Fiction genres receive wonderful emails from their readers. As many of you know, Diane Moody is my sister. She is a Christian Fiction author and member of the Church Librarians Network. Las
I'm so happy for my friend Amy Callahan Johnson and the release of her devotional, Journey With Jesus! Amy is such a gifted story-teller who shares so many of her incredible life experiences, all wrapped in the hope and encouragement found in the scr

Congratulations to Diane Moody for the release of her 4th book in her War Series The Journey from War. Since I am one of her proofreaders, I highly recommend it for all libraries. As some of you know she is also my sister. Click here for all the deta
As we observe Memorial Day, let’s think about our church’s collection of war history. Which war history authors of fiction and non-fiction appeal to people who use the library? Are there specific books by these authors that you recommend?
We had a great response to Karin's question back in February. If you missed it, click here. Thought you would like to know more about this historical fiction trilogy. Book 1 is available as you see here. She hopes to have Book 2 available in a few mo
I was encouraged to post a book I wrote last year on this page. It's not necessarily for your church library, but it may be a book you'd like to have on hand. In the 30 years I've been counseling, I have talked about the importance of tears, using mo
I'm new to this site, because I just began working in our church library. But I'm not new to reading great Christian books. I have never heard of Davis Bunn and this book written by him was recommended to me by a patron. I'm now on my 5th Davis Bunn
I was adding this book to our online library catalog and the title caught my attention, so when I finished for the day I sat down to read. Immediately struck by the easy writing style and faithful biblical content - it felt like a friendly conversat
Recently our pastor preached on grief and hardship. He recommended Songs of Suffering by Joni Eareckson Tada. I ordered it for the library. Before I sent it on to be cataloged, I took a moment to look at it and found it not only beautiful but a wonde
I haven't been truly gobsmacked by a book in a long time, and I Am in Here literally took my breath away! The premise of this suspense thriller, set in a volatile family predicament that seems to go from bad to worse by the minute, is brilliantly tol
I've started reading biographies for awhile. Must say I am finding this book fascinating. I have read articles about Hannah More that were focused on her connection with Wilberforce. But there is much more to her journey. She and her sisters played h
Wow, a bunch of us are having a GREAT experience reading Charles Martin’s third book of his Murphy Shepherd series: The Record Keeper. I am assuming I am not the only one having many profound spiritual reading experiences while reading this book. Ear
