What if something far worse goes wrong? Written in the relentless style for which Brandilyn Collins is known, Double Blind is a psychological…

Becoming Mrs. Lewis Book Review
About the Book In a most improbable friendship, she found love. In a world where women were silenced, she found her voice. From New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan comes an exquisite novel of Joy Davidman, the woman C. S. Lewis called “my whole world.” When poet and writer Joy Davidman began writing letters to C. S. Lewis—known as Jack—she was looking for spiritual answers, not love. Love, after all, wasn’t holding together her crumbling marriage. Everything about New Yorker Joy seemed ill-matched for an Oxford don and the beloved writer of Narnia, yet their minds bonded over their letters. Embarking on the adventure of her life, Joy traveled…

Almost Heaven Book Review
About the Book From the bestselling author of War Room comes a gripping novel that was awarded both an ECPA Christian Book Award for fiction and a 2011 Christy Award!

Though he’d gladly give you the shirt off his back, they were right. Billy longs to use his life as an ode to God, a lyrical, beautiful bluegrass song played with a finely tuned heart. So with spare parts from a lifetime of collecting, he builds a…

Jewelry Stories from Price of Privilege
Hi friends! Hope you are enjoying a great start to a new year, and that it’s already been full of some great books. 🙂 I have been sitting on today’s design for (ahem) longer than I’ve wanted to, but I’m hoping you’ll love it just the same. Having read books 1 and 2 from this series not long after they were originally published, I knew the time had come for me to finish it. One thing that was different with this book was that I listened to an audiobook rather than read it in print, and I suspect that may be why I didn’t enjoy it as much. Some books…

Gone to Ground Book Review
About the Book Amaryllis, Mississippi is a scrappy little town of strong backbone and southern hospitality. A brick-paved Main Street, a park, and a legendary ghost in the local cemetery are all part of its heritage. Everybody knows everybody in Amaryllis, and gossip wafts on the breeze. Its people are friendly, its families tight. On the surface Amaryllis seems much like the flower for which it’s named—bright and fragrant. But the Amaryllis flower is poison. In the past three years five unsolved murders have occurred within the town. All the victims were women, and all were killed in similar fashion in their own homes. And just two nights ago—a sixth…
