Diagnosis Death Book Review
Medical mysteries are not normally a genre that I gravitate toward, but I picked this book as a random read on my Kindle, and I’m oh-so-glad I did! It took me less than 24 hours to read Diagnosis Death from start to finish because there are suspects galore with a mystery that is begging to be solved. I have long believed that certain books come into our lives at just the right time. The main character, Elena, is experiencing a crisis of faith in this story after the recent death of her husband. While I am thankfully not going through the same thing, I am dealing with a similar faith…

A Brighter Dawn Book Review
It has been a LONG time since I last read an Amish novel as intriguing as this one. It’s the first time I’ve ever read one that featured a dual timeline, and even more importantly, the first time I’ve read one that had any sort of historical references. A Brighter Dawn features three sisters in the present day who have just lost their parents to a car accident. Their grandmother believes that it would be best for them to visit their Lancaster, PA Amish relatives as there are things in their past that need to be explained. A long cross-country journey finds Rosene sharing Clare’s story of how she traveled…

In This Moment Book Review
There is literally no good way to start a review for this book. Like every other reviewer, I am struggling to even come up with adequate words to describe my experience with In This Moment in such a way that would convince someone else to read it. Simply put – it is amazing! Unless I’m mistaken, there’s been very few time travel stories written within the Christian fiction genre. (Maybe they are actually out there, and I’m just unaware.) I feel like Gabrielle has hit an untapped market of readers by merging time travel and faith together into her Timeless series. The combination of these two elements has provided me with…

Courage in the Storm Book Review
If you want deep, emotional Amish fiction, then this series is for you. I have thoroughly loved every single book so far, and just when I think one book in the series is my favorite, Laurel comes along and writes a new one and IT becomes my favorite! Courage in the Storm was enchanting from the very first page. Miriam had more things in common with a horse than you would expect. Both she and Breeze struggled mightily with fear to the point that they could not function at 100% in everyday life. Miriam had not left her family’s farms since the death of her parents, and Breeze’s trust in humans…

Jesus Revolution Movie Review PLUS Giveaway
Just in time for its digital release, I had the opportunity to see Jesus Revolution. I had planned to see it while it was in theaters, but time got away from me and I knew I’d have to wait until it was released on DVD. After finally watching it, Jesus Revolution was all that I expected and then some. 🙂 To be honest, I had very little knowledge of this movement and Calvary Chapel when I started watching. I just knew it was a pivotal moment in Christian history when there were so many new individuals coming to know Christ as their Savior. Just that info alone made me eager…

A Wedding Blunder in the Black Hills Book Review
What a charming contemporary romance! I loved the premise of two main characters trying to pretend that they’re dating so their nosy mothers will stop trying to set them up on dates. They’re pretending proved to be futile as they slowly start to develop feelings for one another, and as I furiously turned the pages, I loved every minute of it. This story had a little more depth than most contemporary romances. Millie had a lot of baggage – like A LOT – and believed that she was doomed to continue a family cycle of leaving/quitting/giving up when things got hard. If she had only known the real reasons behind…
