FaithWords (September 27, 2011) Beverly Lewis move over, I have just discovered a debut author who blows the top off great writing. Within the first couple chapters Senft had me searching for the tissues and on the edge of my seat with her suspenseful writing. No this is not a crime story or a thriller [...]

Revell (September 1, 2011) Receiving this review copy was a bittersweet day for me. Knowing I have to wait till next year for the next O’Connor book and that the next O’Connor book will be the last for now are unpleasant thoughts for me as I have come to love them so much. However the [...]

Revell (August 1, 2011) Ray and Helen must both face the what-ifs of life head on in order to continue to build their lives as they envision them. The things they thought they’d never have to choose are forced into their consciousness and they must acknowledge the shameful reality that others have chosen to sweep [...]

Thomas Nelson (May 10, 2011) Elliot has penned an entrancing first novel that draws readers into the lives of characters they are hesitant to part with as the last page is closed. The language and writing describes events and emotions so that I have experienced them as if I were the one in the story [...]

Revell (August 1, 2011) As usual I was drawn into the people and places of Frantz’s novel as I opened the covers of this book. Roxie and the residents of the fort each in their own ways won over readers hearts. Of course there is also little mute Abby who wheedles her way into everyone’s [...]

Barbour Books (August 1, 2011) Debora’s short devotional style entries pack lots of punch into little packages. She has collected 40 timely topics in this stress anthology. Humorous yet practical the material will appeal to varied readers even when narrowed to family life or menopause that might not quite fit a certain person just yet. [...]

Abingdon Press (August 2011) I have yet to pick up a Melody Carlson novel I dislike and this is no exception. Though with this book her byline was not the only draw. It takes place in one of my favorite settings, Oregon. Though I’ve never actually set foot in the Siuslaw valley as an Oregonian [...]

Revell (July 1, 2011) To me Daisy Crispin’s interior monologue sounds much like the majority of us who think we are in the minority. No one cares about me, no one sees me, I’m a nothing, most of the rest of the world is too busy with their their important something lives for my unimportant [...]

Tyndale House Publishers (May 18, 2011) What better matched pair could you find than an archaeologist and a Harvard professor of Near Eastern Studies both living a strong Christian faith and seeking out treasures and history linked to the founding of Christianity following Christ’s resurrection and ascension in the 1st century AD. On a dig [...]
