My Thoughts

Oh my goodness what an adorable devotional!! As soon as I received this I knew I would have two kids fighting over it. They have promised to share so we will see how this pans out. My second son and my daughter love dogs so it made sense to have them help me review this book. I had to agree with them in all of their points. Both my son (13) and daughter (9) loved the photos of the dogs and the information on each breed. The extra information on the Fido 411 was pretty neat and they kept trying to give me quizzes on the information to see if I already knew it.

I as a parent enjoyed that it kept them engaged and had them thinking about God as the authors do a great job at incorporating the love of dogs with the word of God. So each week the devotion has a key Bible verse, a digging deeper section that the kids can answer in their journals and a challenge where they can put to practice the lesson or to think deeper on the subject.

Overall I thought this was a good devotional and if you have a dog lover kiddo in your life this might be the perfect devotional for them!

Target Acquired by Lynette Eason ~ Book Review

September 11, 2024

About the Book

Book: Target Acquired

Author: Lynette Eason

Genre: Romantic Suspense/ Dual Timeline

Series: Lake City Heroes, Book 2

Release Date: August 2024

Publisher: Revell

Tough-as-nails Kenzie King has finally earned her place as a tactical medic on a SWAT team. But not everyone on the all-male team accepts her. Rumor is, she didn't get the position because of what she could do but because of who she knew. Which means she has to work harder and longer than anyone else to prove herself.

Cole Garrison is a man with deep faith who is finally ready to settle down and build a family of his own--if he can find the right person, that is. Kenzie sure has set off his interest meter, but trouble seems to follow in her wake. Since she joined the team, someone has begun to ambush and pick off team members, one by one.

It's all hands on deck to discover the culprit and end the killing. Can Kenzie and Cole put aside their differences and work together as a team? Or will their budding attraction be snuffed out by a sniper's bullet?

My Thoughts

This is a great second book for the Lake City Heroes series and it did not disappoint. The book has a dual time line which at first I wasn't sure how it would all tie in but boy did it come together nicely at the end. The historical timeline does add a depth to the story I didn't even know I needed. In the present time Ms. Eason had me at the edge of my seat with all the action and mystery that was happening and kept me turning the pages until I sadly came to the end and the book.

I really enjoyed Kenzie and Cole. It was great to see how their storylines and relationship developed. The SWAT team really came together for Kenzie after being so distant from her. The romance between Kenzie and Cole was a slow burn and although you may want it to move faster I think if flowed perfectly and made it more realistic.

Overall I thought this was a great story. I can't wait to read the next book in the series and see some of these characters again.

I received a copy of this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

The Sisters of Corinth by Angela Hunt~ Book Review

September 5, 2024

About the Book

Book: The Sisters of Corinth

Author: Angela Hunt

Genre: Biblical Fiction

Series: The Emmisaries, Book 2

Publisher: Bethany House Publishers

Release Date: May 2024

When the new provincial governor arrives in Corinth, the esteemed chief magistrate Narkis Ligus is delighted. He sees a golden opportunity in the governor's presence--a chance to unite their households through the marriage of one of his beautiful unwed daughters to the governor's firstborn son. Such an advantageous union would surely bring divine blessings from the gods, propelling him to greater power and fortune.

Yet complications quickly arise in Narkis's own family. Mariana, his stepdaughter, holds steadfast faith in Yeshua, rendering her hesitant to marry a man devoted to the Roman gods, despite Narkis's urging. On the other hand, Prima, his daughter by birth, yearns for a life of wealth and status and is willing to go to great lengths to secure a marriage that fulfills her desires--even if it means betraying Mariana to do it.

My Thoughts

The Sisters of Corinth took me on a journey I didn't quite expect. The story of these two very different sisters was captivating and kept me turning the pages to find out how it was all going to end. We are immersed in ancient Roman culture and way of life. The way they led their pagan life in a society that was starting to awaken to the early days of the church. I found it very interesting to see two very different religious lifestyles live under one roof.

We meet Chief Magistrate Narkis Ligus who has plans to raise his status in society by marrying one of his two daughters to the governor. Prima, which is a very easy character to detest throughout the entire story, only cares about her status. She believes she is superior to her sister because she is the true daughter of the Narkis. She will do anything to prove herself worthy and we see that throughout the story as she basically sells herself to the gods. Mariana and her mother are followers of Yeshua. Mariana has no desire to marry someone who doesn't share her beliefs.

The book at times had me at the edge of my seat because I was so fearful what would happen to Marianna should someone go against her in her belief of God. But she proved that believing in the Almighty and having faith it doesn't matter what comes against you, God is always with you. I really loved how the author portrayed her and made her into an example of what we should do in our daily lives.

Overall it was a beautiful story of faith. It will have you turning the pages as you cheer or jeer for these characters throughout the story!

I received a copy of this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

About the Author

Christy-Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected in novels from this versatile author. With over five million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than 150 works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels.

Now that her two children have reached their thirties, Angie and her husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Turner and Hooch and Sandlot too many times). This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards--one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the dog and the Hunts, complete with VIP air travel and a stretch limo in which they toured New York City.

Afterward, the dog gave out pawtographs at the airport.

Angela admits to being fascinated by animals, medicine, psychology, unexplained phenomena, and “just about everything” except sports. Books, she says, have always shaped her life— in the fifth grade she learned how to flirt from reading Gone with the Wind.

Her books have won the coveted Christy Award, several Angel Awards from Excellence in Media, and the Gold and Silver Medallions from Foreword Magazine’s Book of the Year Award. In 2007, her novel The Note was featured as a Christmas movie on the Hallmark channel. Romantic Times Book Club presented her with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006.

In 2006, Angela completed her Master of Biblical Studies in Theology degree and completed her second doctorate in 2015. When she’s not home reading or writing, Angie often travels to teach writing workshops at schools and writers’ conferences. And to talk about her dogs, of course.

Excerpt

(From Chapter 26)

Camilla noticed the gunman at the same time I did and screamed, “Matt, watch out!” just as we found cover behind a statue of Charlemagne standing outside the cathedral’s gate. Another bullet bounced off the bronze figure as we huddled together behind its concrete base.

By this point, others in the area were yelling, screaming, and searching for places of cover. I peeked around the statue and could see the gunman walking directly toward us, gun hand extended straight out, simply waiting for his opportunity. He was wearing black jeans and a dark button-down shirt, with wrap-around sunglasses hiding his eyes. He had jet black hair, cut very short. I could see a large tattoo

extending above his collar and up his neck.

He fired again, the bullet chipping the concrete only inches from my head. Another shot hit the sidewalk just to our left and then another on the right. I think he was enjoying this, effectively preventing us from fleeing until he managed to finish the job. My overloaded mind failed to come up with a plan of action that had any chance of success. This was the end. I pulled Camilla into me and held her tight, bringing a

quick reflection of our similar experience in the burning house. We were miraculously saved once, but….

Camilla suddenly pushed herself away from me and bolted to our right. Startled, I looked that way and noticed a small girl curled up, crying loudly only fifteen feet away. Camilla’s instinct was to protect the child. She would need only four or five steps to reach the girl, but it took the gunman just two of those steps to zero in and squeeze the trigger. After one shot missed behind her, the next hit Camilla in the

side, jolting her into the wall a few feet short of her goal. She fell to the ground awkwardly, managing to reach out her hand as she came to rest with an audible groan. The young girl stretched to put her small fingers into the offered hand just as Camilla’s eyes flickered shut.

Overflowing with emotion and rage, I yelled something unintelligible as I stood and tried to move toward Camilla. The man advanced with a silenced gun pointed at my head, blocking my path. A curl of a smile appeared on his thin lips as he looked me over, appraising his conquered prey. It was a smile projecting confidence, success, and superiority.

I hoped he sensed something other than fear in my eyes as I glared back at him. The Bible says I am supposed to love my enemy. Reality, though, is a challenging teacher and, in this instance, I am probably flunking the test.

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Harriet Hurry-Up and the Oh-So-Slow Day! by Allia Zobel Nolan, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Harriet Hurry-Up and the Oh-So-Slow Day!
Author: Allia Zobel Nolan
Illustrator: Alexandra Colombo
Publisher: Kregel Childrens Books
Release Date: August 13, 2024
Genre: Children's Story Book

"Can you send me some patience, God? Please?"

Harriet's mom calls her Harriet Hurry-Up--and it's easy to see why. There's nothing this little girl can't stand more than waiting. From a slowpokey sun that won't rise before she does, to the shy sprouts on her school potato experiment, to the long line at the store with Mom, everything takes forever for Harriet. Why, oh, why can't this day just go faster?

But with her Gran's help, this impatient little girl is learning to trust God's timing and find the blessings he puts in every single day--if she can just slow down long enough to see them.

With rhymed text that kids will love and colorful, whimsical illustrations full of surprises, Harriet Hurry-Up and the Oh-So-Slow Day! will quickly become a family favorite. It's perfect for birthdays, back-to-school reading, and for anyone--child or adult--who finds that having patience is hard.

PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | ChristianBook | Bookshop

About the Book

This was a great picture book and a read aloud for my youngest. I love that this book teaches about learning how to wait. Kids can be extremely impatient in everything they do and this book helps with giving parents an example on teaching kids that it's important to wait and wait on what God has in store for us. Changing the way we thing about waiting and turning it into a positive is a great skill to teach children.

I really enjoyed that the author added a page in the back to help parents and caregivers by providing ideas on how to teach patience to kids. The illustrations are fun and relatable and you will not regret grabbing this book for yourself or as a gift for someone!

I received this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Beyond Ivy Walls by Rachel Fordham ~ Book Review

August 2, 2024

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Beyond Ivy Walls by Rachel Fordham hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Beyond Ivy Walls

Author: Rachel Fordham

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Release Date: August 14, 2024

Genre: Historical Romance

Reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast, a recluse and a young woman discover that the scars of life are no match against an act of love.

Iowa, 1903. All of Monticello believes Otis Taylor has been away fostering his musical genius. But the truth is that his father exiled him long ago, rejecting Otis's appearance and the scars that came with it. Now that he is the last living Taylor, Otis has covertly returned to settle his family's affairs and rid himself of his past for good. However, he soon discovers that he may not have been the only discarded Taylor and begins a tireless search for his missing niece.

At twenty-three years old, Sadie West left her family farm and found employment at the Hoag feather duster factory. It isn't a romantic job, but she's hardly had a glimmer of romance since her beau went off to college, leaving her with no promise of a future together. Desperate to save money and help her family make ends meet, she trespasses and finds shelter in an abandoned building--and is thrown in the path of the town's mysterious bachelor.

Otis's wounds are deep, but as Sadie's friendship with him grows, she begins to fall for the man beneath the mask. The mystery of his long-lost niece, however, is more complex than either could have imagined, and Sadie may be the key to Otis Taylor finally finding his way home.

My Thoughts

If you enjoy stories that have a trope reminiscent to fairy tale stories or classics then this may just the book for you. This carries a nod to Beauty and the Beast which is obvious in the characters and the way that they are described physically. You will be reminded of the beast character through Otis as well. I also picked up a hint of Little Women when meeting Sadie's sisters in the story.

We meet Sadie right away who works in a a feather duster factory. She is trying to help her family out, now that her dad is not able to tend the farm due to an accident. She doesn't truly have a place to stay and so she basically becomes a squatter in an abandoned building. Otis returns home to Monticello after being sent away due to his physical appearance. Both his parents have passed and so has his brother so he returns to settle the estate and leave everything behind until he finds out that he may have a niece he has never met and also when he meets Sadie.

I won't tell you the whole story because you have to make your own decisions about it and read it. I thought it was a sweet story. The romance was light and I feel like there were some things that were confusing for me. It wasn't until the end of the book when I read the authors notes that I finally had some knowledge on what the condition that Otis suffered from was. The entire time I thought it was something his dad had done to him through all the remedies he was giving him and sending him away. Another part of the storyline that never was resolved completely was the presumed beau of Sadie. He sends her a note that they should meet and they never do and while that may have been insignificant to most, he was mentioned enough in the story that I thought he would make an appearance.

Overall I thought it was a sweet story and perfect for any aged reader. If you enjoy books with a theme of story retelling then you will enjoy this book!

My Thoughts

My younger kiddos enjoyed being back with Grandpa and Lucy as he tells her how no matter what we look like we are all part of God's family. We find Lucy thumbing through a photo album and looking at old photos of different family members and she notices that everyone looks different. Through this opportunity he takes time in explaining to Lucy that we all are descendants of the first family which is Adam and Eve.

I really enjoyed how this book focused on the first three chapters of Genesis. Lucy and Grandpa are peeking in on the story and watching the story unfold. Grandpa touches on some very important knowledge nuggets such as sin and forgiveness. Which are great talking points to have with our children.

We really enjoyed this book and the illustrations were simple and realistic which my nine year old really enjoyed.
