This book… I’m certain it’s destined to become a classic, truly. It’s so multidimensional, it has so many different elements of living life and growing up and finding your place in the world… and it somehow manages to speak to readers across the board, regardless of our experience, age, past, or present. “The Best Summer Of Our Lives” is the newest release by Rachel Hauck, and I hands-down describe it as a work of art.

Unusual… And Beautiful
What a unique story this was, on so many levels…. “This Is Where It Ends” by Cindy Sproles is a slow, contemplative, redemptive, and far-reaching novel that is best slowly savored and explored, chapter by chapter. It is repetitive, but in a way that makes the characters more real because, after all, life’s struggles can be repetitive, can’t they? Continue reading
Wild West Meets Old Fashioned Fairy Tales In Karen Witemeyer’s New Series!
It truly doesn’t get any better than this, folks! Wild West meets old-fashioned fairy tale in the incredible Karen Witemeyer’s newest release from Bethany House: “Fairest of Heart”! As the first story in the “Texas Ever After” series, this tale includes all the signature qualities of a well-told western, but with a twist…. The foundational plot is straight from the tradition of a classic fairy tale we all know and love; Snow White and the Seven Dwarves! Continue reading
A Unique, Heavy, Beautiful Experience – Guest Review by Hayley
“The Words We Lost” is the latest gem from Nicole Deese. It’s a powerful and unique reading experience for many reasons.
Take Your Bible Reading To The Next Level!
I often enjoy doing Bible studies where we zoom in on certain chapters, books, or topics within the Word. Sometimes though, I need to challenge myself and branch out into doing my own personal readings of the Bible, without the commentary and questions that a study book provides. But… I feel a little lost sometimes in how to get started! That is where this new volume published by Moody and written by James F. Coakley comes into play, and is such a great help to me. “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible” is a treasure trove of insight, wisdom, and practicality that helped me take my personal reading (and enjoyment) of God’s Word to the next level!

Can You Believe, The Ninth Hope Harbor Novel Is Here!
My summer would not be complete without a visit to the seaside town of Hope Harbor, ‘where hearts heal… and love blooms.’ (And where Charlie’s fish tacos make my mouth water with every mention!) Irene Hannon has been writing these stories for 9 years now, can you believe it? Yes, “Windswept Way” is the 9th annual installment in the “Hope Harbor” series, and we have already been promised that a 10th novel is in the works for spring of 2024. (Hurray!) Continue reading
The Only Bad Part Is… When We Reach The Final Page!
I can never pass up the opportunity to read new Christian Historical Fiction by an author I’ve enjoyed before…. Stephenia H. McGee impressed me last year with her story of “The Secrets of Emberwild”, so I was excited to discover what fictitious delights “The Swindler’s Daughter” would hold! Continue reading
The Perfect Summertime Read – guest review by Hayley
Book number one of the “Cape Cod Creamery” series was one of the best summertime books I have read in a while. Which, of course, made me look forward to “The Secret To Happiness,” book number two in this lovely series. Continue reading
A Series (And Story) Like No Other – guest review by Hayley
The first time-travel novel I ever read was book number one of the “Timeless” series, “When the Day Comes.” It was a mind-bending adventure with unforeseen twists and turns. “In This Moment” fits that same description as well, although I’m a little more used to the time-travel element the second time around! Continue reading
Kelly Balarie’s Most Powerful Book Yet
I have found that books by Kelly Balarie are difficult to review for one simple reason: there is such a vast amount of information and teaching inside each chapter that I’m rather at a loss of how to even touch on a small portion of it! Her new release from BakerBooks, entitled “Take Every Thought Captive: Exchange Lies of the Enemy for the Mind of Christ” is completely overflowing with insights and wisdom, yet remains very practical and ‘doable’ for women in any phase of life.
