Once Upon a Prince by Rachel Hauck




Susanna is one that loves to have a plan for everything; even if that means staying in a relationship for too long. When Adam finally breaks up with her the whole Island is buzzing with the news. “I found the right ring but not the right girl”….ouch that hurts!

Nate has to adjust to changes coming his way. He doesn’t feel ready to be king, but when his father dies he must prepare for the coronation. While away on his last holiday he meets Susanna. Nate realizes nothing can become of the relationship…the Kingdom forbids him from marring a foreigner.

Can Susanna find God’s plan for her when nothing seems to be going her way? Can Nate move on and become King? Will he be able to change a law? Will Nate simply marry for the Kingdom?

I am pleased to give this novel a five star rating.

Blood and Bone by Don Hoesel




This is a great adventure, absolutely in-depth reading. I found myself concentrating throughout the novel. The depth of information given was astronomical. A lot of research was done to have this much detail. The depth of the main characters was well executed. I loved seeing how they were able to travel on the lamb; while gleaning more information necessary to recovering the bones of Elisha and securing the safety of their sons.

This is book two in a series. I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded book one: Elisha’s Bones.

I am thrilled to give this novel a five star rating.

NIV Leadership Bible


 
 


I love this Leadership Bible! I was so impressed by the high quality leather it makes it easy to overlook the lack of red lettering in the New Testament.

Inside you will find 52 weeks of practical leadership issues that fall into three main categories and a verse to memorize for the week.

1.      Personal Development
2.      Relationships
3.      Skills

 
Each week covers one topic.

Day One: Issue Introduction
Day Two: Who God Is
Day Three: Who I am
Day Four: How It Works
Day Five: What I Do

 

Throughout the scriptures you will find profiles about various people in scripture, insights on various Skills. Book Introduction gives a leadership principle, summary, and at a glance. Breaks down the focus, reference location, topics, place where things are happening, and a time frame.

 

I am thrilled to give this Bible a five star rating!

A Woman’s Guide to Hearing God’s Voice by Leighann McCoy



 
 
 
This is a great guide that is jammed packed with great information to help us as we seek to hear God’s voice.
Each chapter has:
Personal Reflection
Discussion Questions
Treasure Verse
 
The guide has been divided into four sections:
Wrestling with God
Where was God when…?
Let God define Good
God will make a way
 
This would make for a nice devotional study for a large or small group. I love finding new ways we can tune in to hearing God’s voice.
 
I am happy to give this book a four star rating.

Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer


We have a glitch…with the letter “f” throughout the novel. I chose to read the electronic version and in random places the “f” was missing. This made reading the novel slower. Most readers would find this obnoxious but I didn’t want it to get in the way of giving an honest review. I loved the story!

Reformed outlaw, Silas wanted to please his daughter in any way that he could. So when she asks him for a preacher Silas decides to “get” one for her. Silas steals a Parson off the train! When Silas delivers Jo her “gift”….Parson Crockett Archer, things get interesting. Parson Crockett was on his way to a job interview. When released will the Parson press charges? What does Jo want with a Parson? Will Crockett get the job in Brenham? Or will he stay in Burleson County? Will Silas’s outlaw days catch up with him?

I am pleased to give this novel a four star rating.
