The Christmas Joy Ride by Melody Carlson

The Christmas Joy Ride by Melody Carlson Miranda did not put adventure on her Christmas list, but thanks to her eighty-five-year-old neighbor Joy, that’s exactly what she’s getting this year. When Joy tells Miranda that she plans to drive an old RV decked out in Christmas decorations from their Chicago neighborhood to her new retirement digs in Phoenix–in the dead of winter, no less–the much younger Miranda insists that Joy cannot make such a trip by herself. Unemployed and facing foreclosure, Miranda feels she has nothing to lose by packing a bag and heading off with Joy toward Route 66. But Joy has a hidden agenda for their Christmas joyride–one that could derail the whole venture. No one captures the heartwarming fun of the Christmas season quite like Melody Carlson. Fasten your seat belt, because it’s going to be an exciting ride!   MY THOUGHTS ON THIS This is one of the sweetest reads, and not only for Christmas, this can be read any time. And I love the cover, it makes a beautiful conversation book for your coffee table. I can just imagine Joy and Miranda riding in that old RV, all decorated for Christmas, across the country! I would have loved being with these two. The two had a fun time playing Santa and dropping off gifts to people on the way. And the bitter sweet ending is just wonderful. Joy was such a special person and neighbor, one we all want to be like, and live close too. This book sure made me want to be a better neighbor and help those in need more. I highly recommend this Melody Carlson special story. I received this book from Revell to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I Prayed For You

by By Jean Fischer,
illustrated by Frank Endersby

Book Description

Did you know that even before you were born, I prayed for you?

Mommies love their babies and pray over them before they are born and for their whole lives. This book will help them share the many ways they have prayed, and continue to pray, over the lives of their precious children.

Mama Bear shares with Baby Bear how much she prayed for her, even before Baby Bear was born. And each and every day, Mama prays and asks God to help Baby Bear grow big and strong, be safe, love God, and be good to others.

From before these sweet babies are born, and for every part of their futures, Mama covers them in prayer. Every spread will share a different prayer, and mamas everywhere will resonate with this eternally important message.

Baby bears everywhere will fall asleep knowing they are loved and prayed over.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

This is the most precious little book. It is so special to hear mama bear telling her little bear that she started praying for him before he was born, and she still prays for him now, and will continue praying for him in the future. And the illustrations are so awesome. As you read this book to your child, they will love seeing the beautiful pictures to go with each page. I love how this little board book tells children how they are prayed for. If you are looking for special books to buy for your children, this is one you need to check out. It is a beautiful and sweet book inside and out.

Keeping Christmas by Dan Walsh from Revell

Keeping Christmas by Dan Walsh

Keeping Christmas by Dan Walsh Stan opened the ugly ornaments box and pulled out the top three ornaments, the ones wrapped in green paper, the kids’ favorites, and set them on the coffee table. He picked up the first one, the biggest one–Anna’s blue pinecone–and began to unwrap it. Without thinking, Judith walked up, stopped him, and gently took it out of his hand. She wrapped it back up, set it carefully in the box. Then picked up the other two ornaments, put them in the box, and closed the flaps. “What’s the matter?” Stan said. “Did I do something wrong?” “I don’t think I can do this.” Nothing is more beautiful than family For the first time since their children were born, empty nesters Judith and Stan Winters spent Thanksgiving without the kids, and it’s looking like Christmas will be the same. Judith can’t bring herself to even start decorating for the holiday; her kids always hung the first ornaments on the tree, ornaments they had made each year since they were toddlers. Sure, the ornaments were strange-looking–some were downright ugly–but they were tradition. With Judith refusing to decorate the bare spruce tree in their living room, Stan’s only hope for saving the holiday is found in a box of handmade ornaments . . .   MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK I always look forward to Dan Walsh’s Christmas stories. Keeping Christmas is a story that relates to many people who have family living far away. Judith Winters couldn’t handle spending both Thanksgiving and Christmas without her children and their families. Refusing to decorate for Christmas causes her husband to go rethink the big boat he is thinking about buying and do something special for his wife. How many people would love to have this husband! To be so selfless? And what did he do? That’s something you need to read this book to find out. And the good thing about this book, though it was an awesome read during the Christmas season, it is not necessarily just to read around Christmas. I would read it any time. The story is the same. And Dan Walsh has penned another awesome read! I received this book from Revell to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

A Thousand Shall Fall: A Civil War Novel (Kregel, November 2015)

A story of love, hope, and healing set in the midst of the Civil War

Nineteen-year-old Carrie Ann Bell is independent and spirited. The only thing she really fears are the Union soldiers fighting against her Confederate friends. When her youngest sister runs away from home, brave Carrie Ann is determined to find her and bring her back. Disguised as a soldier, she sets off–only to find she’s fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Her childhood friend Confederate Major Joshua Blevins has warned her against these Yankees: they’re all devils, ready to inflict evil on unsuspecting young women. When Colonel Peyton Collier arrests her for her impersonation of an officer, it seems to confirm all her fears.

Soon, though, she finds herself drawn to the handsome, gallant colonel. He rescued her, protected her, and has been every inch the gentleman. Carrie Ann discovers that her foe has become her ally–and more than that, someone she could love. But the arrival of Joshua in the Union camp as a spy will test her loyalties. Will she protect someone who has been like family or be loyal to this stranger to whom she wants to offer her heart? When her world is being torn apart around her, whom should she trust?

Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, A Thousand Shall Fall is framed around compelling characters and a very romantic setting in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Andrea Boeshaar’s extensive research guarantees historical accuracy and romance genre enthusiasts and Civil War buffs alike will enjoy the Christian perspectives on actual historical events.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Strong willed Carrie Ann Bell decides to change her appearance and take off looking for her sister that ran away. With the war going on, this was not a smart move for Carrie, and when she was arrested by Colonel Peyton Collier arrests her for her impersonation of an officer, well she realizes her fears of the Yankee’s is quite real. As the story develops, Carrie faces difficult situations that rips her world apart. When her childhood friend Joshua shows up as a spy, what will Carrie do? Can she trust the Colonel, a man she has become attracted to, or will she be loyal to her longtime friend? For me, the story starts out slow and it takes me a while to really get into it. This is unusual for a Andrea Boeshaar book because I love her books! I loved the setting being in the Shenandoah Valley, a place I have been to many time. The book seemed more real for me, knowing the setting. I grew to love the realistic characters, and the history in this book is amazing. A history buff would sure love reading this historical fiction! A story that I recommend, especially to those who enjoy historical fiction!

The Bishop’s Son Series: The Amish of Bee County by Kelly Irvin

The Bishop’s Son Series: The Amish of Bee County

By Kelly Irvin

Book Description

Two men offer Leila two very different futures. Will she choose with her heart or with her faith?

Leila Lantz has been in love with Jesse Glick from the day she first saw him at his father’s store, but she can’t make sense of his intentions. One day he wants to come courting, the next he seems to be putting distance between them.

Jesse may be the bishop’s son, but his faith has been wavering of late. If he is so unsure, is it fair to give Leila false hope for a future he doubts he can provide?

Then there’s Will, Jesse’s cousin. He has been trying to keep his feelings for Leila a secret, but he also knows Jesse is wrestling with his faith. Would declaring his feelings for Leila be in her best interest or simply serving his own selfish desires?

Leila knows she can choose Will and be secure in her own future. But when her heart speaks, it’s Jesse’s name she hears. When will God make His will known to her? Could leaving everything she knows—even her own faith—be a part of God’s plan?

About the Author

Kelly Irvin is the author of several Amish series including the Bliss Creek Amish series, the New Hope Amish series, and the Amish of Bee County series. She has also penned two romantic suspense novels, A Deadly Wilderness and No Child of Mine. The Kansas native is a graduate of the University of Kansas School of Journalism. She has been writing nonfiction professionally for thirty years, including ten years as a newspaper reporter, mostly in Texas-Mexico border towns. She has worked in public relations for the City of San Antonio for twenty years. Kelly has been married to photographer Tim Irvin for twenty-seven years. They have two young adult children, two cats, and a tank full of fish. In her spare time, she likes to write short stories and read books by her favorite authors.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Leila Lantz has a difficult decision to make. Two young men, Jesse, and Will (Jesse’s cousin) want her love and commitment. But the two offer entirely different lifestyles for Leila. Jesse is struggling with his faith, and not so sure he is ready for a lifetime commitment, but Leila has loved him since the first time she saw him. And Will, well he is more settled and knows what he wants to do with his life, but keeps his feelings for Leila to himself because he doesn’t want to hurt his cousin Jesse. How will this author untangle this mess of relationships for Leila?

I really like the way Kelly Irvin writes Amish fiction. She adds a unique twist to her stories that make them very interesting and entertaining. Leila has some tough decisions to make, but I liked that. Dealing with real life situations, even among the Amish faith helps to realize that we all have problems that we must surrender to the Lord. And this book will have you taking a closer look at your own faith. It was nice visiting characters from book one, and I am excited to read book three when it hits the shelves. If you are looking for a good clean book for enjoyment, this is a wonderful one to pick up!

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

My favorite thing to do during the Christmas holiday’s is to read Christmas stories, and books like An Amish Christmas Gift with three novellas are awesome because you can read one story in one setting. Here we have three of my favorite authors, Kelly Irvin, Amy Clipston and Ruth Reed with their Amish Christmas stories.

Whispers in the Reading Room

The Chicago World’s Fair Mystery Series

By Shelley Shepard Gray    

Book Description

Lydia’s job at the library is her world—until a mysterious patron catches her eye . . . and perhaps her heart.

Just months after the closure of the Chicago World’s Fair, librarian Lydia Bancroft finds herself fascinated by a mysterious dark-haired and dark-eyed patron. He has never given her his name; he actually never speaks to a single person. All she knows about him is that he loves books as much as she does.

Only when he rescues her in the lobby of the Hartman Hotel does she discover that his name is Sebastian Marks. She also discovers that he lives at the top of the prestigious hotel and that most everyone in Chicago is intrigued by him.

Lydia and Sebastian form a fragile friendship, but when she discovers that Mr. Marks isn’t merely a very wealthy gentleman, but also the proprietor of an infamous saloon and gambling club, she is shocked.

Lydia insists on visiting the club one fateful night and suddenly is a suspect to a murder. She must determine who she can trust, who is innocent, and if Sebastian Marks—the man so many people fear—is actually everything her heart believes him to be.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Love this book, Love this series! Shelley Shepard Gray is one of the best!! Lydia and Sebastian were two very different people, from completely different backgrounds, but the attraction between them was real. But the two being together was just impossible. Or was it? Though rough as some of the characters are, this is a pretty sweet story. There is a lot of bad things happening, a lot of tension, a lot of twists and turns, but Ms. Gray does a fantastic job of pulling it all together, with twists and turns you don’t expect, and making another awesome story in this series. I don’t want to say too much, and give anything away, so I wont! This is a wonderful and entertaining story, set just after the Chicago Worlds Fair is over, a story that will stay with you for a while.

Litfuse Presents……Another Way Home by Deborah Raney

Another Way Home

by Deborah Raney

Another Way Home (Abingdon Press, October 2015)

Sometimes God’s ways are not at all what we expect . . . and exactly what we need.

Grant and Audrey are adding grandchildren to their family left and right, but middle daughter, Danae, and her husband, Dallas Brooks, have been trying for years with no baby in sight.

Though Danae is ready to consider adoption, Dallas will not even discuss it. Despairing of ever having a family of her own, Danae decides to pour her passion and energies into volunteer work with a newly opened women’s shelter in town. Looking for a good cause to fill her lonely days, she never expects to give her heart to the hurting women she meets there. She’s finally learning to live her life with gratitude, but then heart-wrenching events on Thanksgiving weekend threaten to pull the entire Whitman clan into turmoil—and leave them all forever changed.

Learn more and purchase a copy.

My THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Another Way Home continues the story of Grant and Audrey’s family, this book focusing on their daughter Danae. She and her husband have been trying to have a baby for a very long time, even with medical help, but so far nothing is happening. Danae decides to volunteer at a women’s shelter, pouring all of her time into the work and the people there. When she tries helping a hurting women, and her son, Danae and Dallas’ life changed forever.

Deborah Raney has written another really good read in this third book in the Chicory Inn Series. I have enjoyed following this family, and Danae and Dallas’ story is very heartwarming. This story teaches us that God is in control of our lives, and he has a perfect plan for us, even if it is nothing like what we imagine. I encourage you to go out and pick up a copy of this book, along with books one and two in the series. You will enjoy this wonderful and entertaining read.

Litfuse Presents Miracle Drug by Richard L. Mabry, M. D.

 Miracle Drug

by Richard L. Mabry, M. D.

Overcoming these odds will take more than a miracle drug—it will take a miracle.

The infection wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. The treatment was supposed to take care of it, but it didn’t. Then Dr. Josh Pearson discovers why—his patients, including the former President of the United States, have been dosed with a different strain of the original virus, one that is universally fatal. The only chance for survival is treatment with an experimental drug, but the manufacturer might already have discarded its supply.

As if treating the President of the United States isn’t stressful enough, the situation goes from bad to worse when Rachel Moore, a nurse Josh is falling in love with, falls ill. With the nation’s eyes on him, Josh must pull off a miracle to save a man who holds a good deal of power and the woman who holds his heart.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

MY THOUGTHS ON THIS BOOK

I love Richard Mabry’s books, and I loved Miracle Drug. The former President of the United States was intentionally exposed to a very rare virus, and newly appointed to his care was Dr Josh Pearson. Finding a treatment for this virus was more than a problem because the sample drug that was made to treat this virus was destroyed. Making matters worse, Dr. Pearson’s girlfriend ends up with the same virus, making the decision even more tense and stressful.

With interesting and unique characters, Miracle Drug is a fast, action packed suspense that will have you on your toes throughout the book! Just when I thought I had the bad guy figured out, another twist or turn would happen and I was at square one again. Thanks one of the things I love about Dr. Mabry’s books. Another unique thing about his books is that being a Doctor, Dr. Mabry has first hand experience and knowledge about anything medical. This is what makes his medical fiction so wonderful, the entire book is full of detailed medical scenes, all centered around sometime scary suspenseful situations!

I highly recommend Medical Drug to you for hours of fun fast pace suspense fun.
