Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I received these book from Litfuse Publicity to review for the blog. Last year, I read my first book by Susan May Warren and reviewed it here–The Great Christmas Bowl.

Cowboy & Wills

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Mothering Heights: A Novel Approach for Christian Mothers

Since I’m a book lover, I jumped at the chance to review this book. Mothering Heights (a clever spin on Wuthering Heights) uses quotes from classic books to encourage and exhort moms.
The authors encourage moms to find God’s direction for their families and [...]

Lost Mission by Athol Dickson~Review

Monday, November 9th, 2009

I received Lost Mission by Athol Dickson to review from Litfuse.
I’ve never read any of his books before and I looked forward to reading a work by a new (to me) author.
I have to be honest here. At first, the book did not draw me in.  It goes from different time periods from one sentence [...]

Boy-sterous Living Celebrating Your Loud & Rowdy Life with Sons by Jean Blackmer.

When I read on Robin Lee Hatcher’s blog that she was offering advanced reader copies of her new novel, I was like a 1st grader bouncing up and down in her seat saying, “ooo oooo pick me pick me”.
Thankfully, I entered fast enough to be included in the group. I can’t remember when I found [...]
