BOOK REVIEW | Abigail
Writing an historical novel is a daunting task. You’re dealing with a person who was once alive, and events that actually happened. But when you’re dealing with people from the Bible, there’s a whole different dimension. You’re dealing with God’s Word! So many today treat the Bible like a human book. They feel free to [...]
BOOK REVIEW | Michal
When I hear about movies and books based on Biblical figures I get very nervous. Authors seem to have little respect for God’s Word and feel free to change events and twist things so that you’d hardly know who they were talking about. So when I received the first two books of “The Wives of [...]

BOOK REVIEW | Jillian Dare
Jillian Dare by Melanie M. Jeschke Jillian never knew her parents. Her only memories of her childhood are ones of being passed around from one foster family to another.

Designer Women by Ruth Tuttle Conard Ten different attributes women are designed to be are discussed in view of ten different women (groups of women) from the Bible.

BOOK REVIEW | Treasure Under Finny's Nose
Treasure Under Finny’s Nose by Dana Mentink The first thing I noticed about the book was it’s size. It’s smaller than a lot of books which means the author has less time to develop the characters. The author packs a lot into this book. The heroine, Ruth, is an older woman who’s trying to deal [...]
