Fasting by Scot Mcknight

I found this book fascinating. I have long wondered about fasting and if there is any need for such a thing in my own spiritual life. After reading this book, I would have to say, yes, there is. McKnight takes you on a journey that guides you in seeing the importance of fasting as well as how to fast.

I Lift Up My Soul

I Lift Up My Soul by Charles Stanley

This is a good start for someone who isn't in the habit of reading the bible or praying daily. It is short and to the point each day and has a bible verse and lesson to think about each day through the year.

The Falling Away by T.L. Hines

Dylan Runs Ahead is a member of the Crow Tribe of Montana and is as unique as his name. A man who has spent years trying to run away, not ahead...of his past, his culture, family. He finds that he is a "chosen" one. But chosen by which side?? Good or evil?? This book keeps you guessing up to the very end. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it!

The Jesus You Can't Ignore

Just finished up with a new book...The Jesus You Can't Ignore by John McArthur.

A very good read...one that I will be reading again. Mr. McArthur takes you on a journey, well documented by Scripture, through the days of Jesus's ministry and focuses on his dealings with those in religious power in those days....primarily the Sanhedrin, scribes and Pharisees. This Jesus is NOT the meek and mild man so portrayed in most mainstream churches today, but one that stood and delivered scorching reprimands to those in power. The overall point of the book, is that if you are going to follow the footsteps of Christ, then you need to be willing to refute those that mislead and mis-teach God's word today, not looking for the "common ground" as most organized religions seem bent on doing these days.

I was not paid for my review and these opinions expressed are my own. I received a free book from BookSneeze to read and review.

Driftwood Lane by Denise Hunter

Meridith Ward has created a very well ordered life for herself. She's an health inspector in the big city of St. Louis,who's a stickler for the rules, has a fiance who is an accountant and is as "order oriented" as she herself is. Suddenly, one phone call breaks the order of her life into a thousand pieces. She has been named gardian of three young siblings she has never met from a father she has been estranged from since he left her as a young child to be raised by a manic depressive mother. Suddenly, she is thrown into a mix where nothing is ordered and finds herself in Nantucket, trying to run a bed and breakfast that is falling apart and a handyman that makes her feel as unsettled as the ocean during a storm.

This is one in a series of books by Denise Hunter called the Nantucket Series. I'd like to read the others if they are as good as this one.

Read "A Summer Secret"

A Summer Secret by Kathleen Fuller. A wonderful book for anyone, but an especially good read for a child between the ages of 8 to 16. Very well written and the characters just came alive for me. A story about a young Amish girl wanting a place she can call her own and be by herself once in awhile. She finds it in an old abandoned barn...one she and her siblings have been warned to stay away from. Soon she notices that things are moved or missing in her secret place and vows..along with her brother...to find out just who else is using her place. The book gives a glimpse into Amish life and is not only a very good read, but interesting as well.
