If You Only Read One Non-Fiction Book This Year. . . Choose This One
If you only read a single non-fiction book this year (aside from the Bible), I suggest that it be Jennie Allenâs new release from Thomas Nelson Publishers. Yes, it was THAT good. âMade For This: 40 Days to Living Your Purposeâ is the first book Iâve read by this incredible author, but now I want to get my hands on everything sheâs written! âMade For Thisâ is not just a regular book, rather it is âa 40-day interactive journey, a step-by-step process to guide you in answering lifeâs ultimate question.â In a workbook-style format with daily reading followed by exercises, journaling questions, Scripture reading, and more, this book is unique and powerful. If you let it, it can also be life-changing. Continue reading

A Satisfying Conclusion to a Fascinating Series
I always feel like sighing after finishing the last installment of a series, as it brings both a sense of completion and a feeling of regret that the journey has concluded. Suzanne Woods Fisherâs âNantucket Legacyâ trilogy, published by Revell, has now come to a close with âThe Light Before Dayâ. The fascinating Quaker history combined with an intriguing plot, memorable characters, and a second parallel tale told through a decades-old journal, all combine to make this series one that I am glad to have read. Continue reading

Published by Revell in the summer of 2018, this story of the Quakers who made a living from the dangerous whale trade is a must-read for all of Ms. Fisherâs Amish fiction fans. Continue reading
