Mornings with Jesus 2012 compiled by Guideposts – My Review

[Guideposts (October 1, 2011) Though I've only had time to scratch the surface of what this collection has to offer I knew when I saw Tricia Goyer, Sharon Hinck, and Camy Tang's name among the authors Guidepost had chosen for this devotional compilation I'd be in for a treat. Three of my favorite novelists under [...]

The Keeper by Suzanne Woods Fisher – My Review

Revell (January 2, 2012) In a genre that some might consider boring or flooded by the same stories redone, Suzanne always manages to bring something new to table. In her fifth Amish fiction offering, an itinerant Beekeeper and a young Amishwoman with a twice broken engagement certainly lend that unusual twist to a society of [...]

Remembering Christmas by Dan Walsh – My Review

Revell (September 1, 2011) We all have regrets from our past but what we do with them determines our paths going forward. Rick finds this out the hard way in Walsh’s holiday offering. However the holidays also find Rick accepting the past for what is and seeing the present more clearly so that he can [...]

The Christmas Shoppe by Melody Carlson – My Review

Revell (September 1, 2011) A heartwarming must read holiday story. Many might say it’s a bit sappy but it’s Christmas time and Melody gives us sappy with quirks just in time for the holidays. We all need a little bit of sappiness for the holidays after all when else will we get it especially in [...]

Love on the Line by Deeanne Gist – My Review

Bethany House (October 1, 2011)Although I haven’t read much Deeanne Gist before this book, I’ve heard lots about her and wanted to read her books. Now that I finally managed to get to one I was definitely not disappointed! Luke shows up in Brenham to be the new troubleman for the local telephone company, collect [...]

A Necessary Deception by Laurie Alice Eakes – My Review

Revell (October 1, 2011) No one is who they say or who they seem. Even Lady Gale doesn’t know what her late husband was really doing or who the man his dying request for her to rescue is beyond the name she was given. As she gets deeper into the midst of the ongoing French [...]

Women of Faith Over the Top Sacramento – My Thoughts

Thomas Nelson’s Booksneeze program hooked me up with tickets for the conference this year in return for blogging about my experience. As a book blogger this wasn’t too difficult a stretch for me. If you didn’t read my pre-conference post take a quick hop over there too. This particular venue featured Andy Andrews, Patsy Clairmont, [...]

The “What’s For Dinner?” Solution by Kathi Lipp – Guest Review

This review is from my mom Louise. She loves cooking and does most of it at my folks’ place so when I saw a “cookbook” come up for tour I showed her the info on it and she said she’d love to take a look. The rest as they say is history. Without further ado [...]

Still More Stories from Grandma’s Attic & Treasures from Grandma’s Attic (#3 & #4) by Arleta Richardson – My Review

David C. Cook (August 1, 2011) I certainly enjoyed the first two books in this series even though they are a bit different than the Little House books I loved as a child and still have on my keeper shelf for the right time in the lives of the girls who come across my path. [...]
