I have finished a couple more books that I wanted to share. Again, these are ones from Tyndale that if I read and do reviews, they will send me FREE books!! Love it!!
What Are You Afraid of? by Dr. David Jeremiah
This book has ten chapters with each one focusing on a fear that start with the letter "D". Disasters, Disease, Debt, Defeat, Disconnection, Disapproval, Danger, Depression, Death, and Deity. The author does a great job of giving Biblical references to show how God helps us with each fear. Pretty long chapters but lots of great information.
Wish by Jake Smith
I LOVED this book!!! Wonderful story - you will laugh and cry. I was very surprised at how the story went. I do not want to give anything away because it is so good!!! Written from a dad's point of view regarding his only son having cancer and his wish to play catch with his little boy. If you like Baseball and the Detroit Tigers, you may want to read this.
We are going to be on vacation soon so I will have lots more reading time!! Can't wait!
"
Born of Persuasion" by Jessica Dotta
I could not put this book down and am excited that the second book is already out!! This is a historical novel set in 1838 about a young girl who is orphaned. During this time it was very difficult for a woman to be able to do much, so she decides to work at getting married. Unfortunately forces are against her and she "falls" into the wrong hands. I didn't always understand what the author was trying to hint at with all the characters' interactions with each other though. Looking forward to reading the next book though.
"Critical Pursuit" by Janice Cantore
If you like Dee Henderson books, you will like this author too. Female cop who makes it her mission to find abducted children. She is partnered with a cop who lost his wife and doesn't feel like life is worth living. During their time together, he realizes that he can move on and she finds that her life can include more than her K9 partner. I plan to read her other book "Visible Threat" as soon as I can get it.
"It Had to Be You" by Susan May Warren
You know I LOVE Susan's books!!! Another good one in the Christiansen Family series (similiar to Karen Kingsbury's series). Eden has made her self be her younger brother's keeper and denies her own desires. When thrown together with Jace - famous hockey player hotshot - she finally finds that she is important and can be her own keeper. Great continuation of the Christiansen family books. The next one is also available: "When I Fall in Love."
Wonderful book!! Very easy to read and lots of scriptural references that you can apply to life today. He uses Joseph's story to illustrate how God uses a bad situation to make something good. "You'll get through this. It won't be painless. It won't be quick. But God will use this mess for good. In the meantime don't be foolish or naive. But don't despair either. With God's help you will get through this." Max Lucado Everyone should read this!!
