Yesterday, I checkout out one of Bodie and Brock Thoene books. I'm already hooked! 

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

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'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 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

Just finished "Far Side of the Sea" by Kate Breslin. She is a new-to-me author. This book is set in WWI. Here's the description from Thriftbooks:

In spring 1918, British Lieutenant Colin Mabry receives an urgent message from a woman he once loved but

I have been alternating between Charles Martin books and Cathy Gohlke books. I am filling in the the ones I had not previously read and am going from oldest to newest.

Lately I have read -- When Crickets Cry (M), The Dead Don't Dance (M), Maggie (M),

This is historical fiction reminiscent of "Christy" by Catherine Marshall.  It is our September selection for ladies' book club at our church library.

When the stock market crashed in 1929, 16-year-old Lorena Leland's life takes a huge detour. Seven years later, to help support her struggling family, Rena takes a job interviewing former slaves for the Federal Writer's Project. She meets 101-year-ol

I  just discovered Michelle Shocklee and she has skyrocketed up my favorite authors list! If you haven't read any of her books, you must! Count the Nights by Stars is a dual timeline historical novel featuring Tennessee's Centennial Exposition in 189

From the very first page, I absolutely fell in love with this brand new novel by Marilyn T. Parker. I'll be honest - biblical fiction isn't my favorite genre, but the author immediately transported me to the world of ancient Israel to witness the bit

I just finished one yesterday that was donated titled Zipporah Wife of Moses had hope in the begining but I'm afraid it's for the rubbish bin. Getting ready to start Blood from a Stone it's book 5 in series about a time traveling cop named Rembrant S

My Literary Ladies group read For Such a Time last month and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a retelling of the story of Esther, but set in a Concentration Camp in WWII. When I first read about it I was puzzled and just wanted to know how she wou

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 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

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.
