The Promises She Keeps by Erin Healy

This was such a good read for me. Promise is a young girl with a devastating disease..one that will eventually kill her. Porta is a modern day witch looking for the key to eternal life...and she thinks Promise is that key. Then there is Chase...a young man with autism who draws trees. Only they aren't really trees. His sister Chelsea has spent her entire life looking after him and now Chase is acting in ways that just are not "normal" for him. And then there is Zack...Portia's son, who may or may not be the bad boy he portrays.

This is a book that you will not want to put down, a book that has twists and turns that you don't expect and an ending that will wrench your heart. A keeper for sure!

I received this book free from the publisher through Book Sneeze and was not paid for my review. The opinions are my own

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.

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.
