Faith Courage Overcoming A Good Study in Brave Enough by Nicole Unice

Brave Enough by Nicole Unice is a great resource and reminder that with Jesus we can find the courage to face whatever comes.

This book is a fast read but one you will read and want to absorb and put into practice. It explains that our courage to overcome fear and our failures is only through a relationship with Christ. It is worth taking time to read and study this book to help you to find your courage.

Well written and such good information. Have a pen ready you will want to make notes but the author also has thought provoking questions to answer also. This would be a wonderful book to use in a women's small group at church.

One of my favorite statements was, " Jesus gives energy where we lack it and strength where we are knee-knockingly weak." Pg 12
Another is, " Acknowledging that we need grace is admitting that we have weaknesses we can't fix." Pg 56 and " Many of us are settling for good enough when God is looking for brave enough." Pg 57

This is a book that helps us look to God and not let fear rule us while giving us steps that will help us let go of those fears and let us be what God wants us to be.

This is a great book to read and reread.

A Big Hit In This Fun Roller Coaster Ride Romantic Book In Good Company by Jen Turano

In Good Company by Jen Turano is one of the best Christian Romances I have read in awhile. I laughed and cried and fell in love with Millie the Nanny and the kids. This was such a fun, wonderful emotional story of love, faith, and growth into a better person. I can not say enough about how good this book was.

Millie is a Nanny that has a way of getting into mischief because she loves and enjoys the children she is caring for. Against the high society standards she let's the children be just that children having fun which is not acceptable. Everett has just become guardian to three mischievous and unhappy children when their parents died and as a last resort and out of desperation he hires Millie to be their Nanny. The children have met their match in Millie and so has Everett.

If you are a fan of a fun historical romance that includes a little bit of mystery and that draws you into the roller coaster ride of emotions then you will love this book as much as I do.

Intense Edge of your Seat Mystery in Moonlight Can Be Murder

Wow is the only thing I can think to say about this great book Moonlight Can Be Murder A Ned McNeil Mystery by Blanche Day Manos. I loved this book and I can not wait until the next one comes out.

Nettie McNeil gets a letter from her Uncle Javin after he gets out of prison that he wants her to come to her home town of Ednalee, OK because he needs to see her and strange things are happening. She goes and when she gets there she was looking forward to seeing him again but was terribly surprised when she finds him shot and dying. Now she is thrown into a murder and has to find out who killed her Uncle and why before she is next.

Nettie or Ned for short is a very level headed, strong willed and determined woman who is wants answers into what is happening and who murdered her Uncle. As a reader I immediately connected with her and was drawn into the mystery right along with her. I love the old Victorian home and land, it adds a dimension to the mystery and is such a important part of the story.  I could just picture the house and wished to be sitting right there with Ned and her friends in front of the fire  or at the kitchen table helping solve this mystery. I love a good mystery and this one is just that .

This book has so many possibilities and trying to tie all the loose ends up makes for a great puzzle to solved. I really thought I had this one figured out but then found I was only partly right and the why escaped me to the end.

This is an intense and at times emotional mystery. I could not put it down. If you like a good mystery, that keeps you on the edge of your seat and one that is full of possibilities and suspects then do not miss this book.

One of my favorite parts is when Ned sees a white figure head into her carriage house and decides to once and for all figure out what is going " Fear gave way to curiosity and a rising anger that someone or something would trespass and find it necessary to sneak around in the dark instead of coming to my door. "Please Lord, I whispered, "Protect me and help me find out what is going on." pg 148

Anger overcomes fear I can so relate to this.

Don't miss this great, spooky, intense, wonderful book. I highly recommend it.

Good Mystery is found in Death of a Bad Apple 5 Stars

Death of a Bad Apple  A Food Festival Mystery by Penny Pike is a five star read.
I really enjoyed this book. It has all the right elements suspense, romances, a good puzzle and many suspects to choose from.

  Darcy helps her Aunt Abby with her food truck in San Francisco but when Aunt Abby signs them up for an Apple Festival in Apple Valley Darcy is ready for a little fun. Besides the food, vendors, and hay maze Darcy, Aunt Abby, Jake and Dillon find themselves in the middle of a struggle between the GMO company, arson fires and now murder. This festival is proving to be more than they bargained for. Festival, Apples, Fun and Murder, Darcy gets right in the middle of it all  and she ropes the others into helping her solve the mystery of why and who is behind it all and who knows how it will all turn out?

This is one of those books that keeps you guessing. Just when you think you have it all figured out then it changes course and you have to put your thinking cap back on and try to figure it out again. I love a book with a good puzzle that keeps you guessing to the end and this book is just that.

If  you like a good mystery, strong characters and a good plot within a plot, with a little romance thrown in, then you will enjoy this book.

This is the third book in the series and even though I had not read the other two I find that I didn't get lost in this one. I will however be going back to read the other ones now because I am a fan of the series after reading this one. I would recommend this series and book to others. Oh yeah and don't forget there are recipes too, who could ask for more.

Interesting Adventure Found in The Constantine Codex by Paul L Maier

The Constantine Codex by Paul L Maier is an interesting adventure centered around the finding of an old manuscript that could be very important to the Christian World and maybe even change the Bible. It is fascinating at times and slow at other times. There is a part of the book devoted to a debate where Dr. Jon Weber has to defend Christianity against the Islam religion. I thought this part, though important to the book, could have been done in a few less chapters than it was. The overall plot was good but at times it seemed to drag. I did enjoy the book and once it got going into the real mystery and plot finding the codex and then trying to get it to the United States for evaluation before it is revealed to be found or lost forever was fast moving and great. I was surprised at some of the story but that is always a good thing. Maier keeps you guessing and weaves Church history into this book which is very interesting. Overall this is a good book, just needs to move along a little faster. If you enjoy a good mystery, history and Christian history then you will want to read this book.

5 stars for This Page Turner Now and Forever Wild at Heart bk 2 by Mary Connealy

Now and Forever Wild At Heart book 2 by Mary Connealy is a book you don’t want to miss. Shannon is a strong-willed, self-reliant, strong woman who has homesteaded a place where she is raising sheep. She is literally thrown into mountain man Tuckers life when she saves him from a bear by throwing him and herself into the river. Little did she know how much this one act would change their lives  forever.

I really enjoyed this book. Shannon is a strong woman that is trying to make up for things she saw and did in the Civil War by caring for her sheep. Tucker is a self-sufficient Mountain man. He and Shannon have to be strong and courageous to survive their ordeal. Then they are thrown together relying on each other and God. Shannon has to save Tucker and ends up married to him. This is their journey of first survival, then finding who is burning homesteaders out before Shannon is the next homestead targeted, all the while learning to love themselves, each other and God. It is Shannon learning to let go of her past and let God heal her heart.

This is a great fast moving exciting book. It combines, love, romance, the frontier, faith as well as a mystery. Who could ask for more. I had not read the first book in this series but this book worked as a stand-alone book too. I will be getting the first one because if it is as good as this one I don’t want to miss it. I highly recommend this book especially if you like romance, mystery and western books.
