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 [...]

Revell (Jun 01, 2011) If you’re looking for a great summer read for adults and YA readers alike then check out Melody’s newest novel. Spring Break is supposed to mean vacation time and who needs that more than a High School senior before graduation. Madison has Mom and Dad both pushing for Ivy League (different [...]

Thomas Nelson (Jun 14, 2011) While I am fascinated with different takes on the story of Esther and as such was excited about this book I also wondered whether it would be another of the “same” books with a different name because so many books based on this Biblical narrative have been published in recent [...]

Thomas Nelson (Jun 14, 2011) Richmond has presented readers with a historical saga reminiscent of Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie with a more mature tone to it. Before I find you all knocking down my email with protests, mature, is used in this case to indicate a book that adults will enjoy for its [...]

WaterBrook Press (April 5, 2011) Jane Kirkpatrick’s books have been must reads for me since I discovered her historical novels at the library several years ago. Her books span a variety of places, times, and events yet as a reader I can always expect to discover something new with each book while finding a familiarity [...]

B&H Books (July 1, 2010) Thankfully I was able to jump right into this book after I finished Sweet Waters. Though the Sweets don’t reappear but briefly in this book, we meet some new characters just as enchanting. This is the first book where Jeremiah or “Jer” as Suz and Gage call him makes our [...]

B&H Books (August 1, 2009) I picked up and read all three of Julie’s Otter Bay books in the space of a week and a half. This introduces readers to a true small town life. Tara Sweet remembers growing up on the coast and when her mom takes off for a honeymoon in Europe she [...]
