A Battle Worth Fighting Book Review
A wonderful split time novel that kept me engrossed from start to finish! The modern day story centers around Sahara and a fight to keep her marriage intact. Her road is certainly not an easy one, and her attempts to make her husband notice her seem to fall flat at every turn. But bless him, her husband is a genuine lover of poetry and nature and beauty, and once she realizes that in a newer, deeper way, nothing can stop them. The historic story features Sahara’s ancestor who was brave enough to fight in the Civil War – as a woman soldier! Forgive my naivete, but I genuinely had NO…

KindleUnlimited or Scribd – Which is Better for Christian Fiction Fans?
It’s no secret that I love to read. When I first started reading/reviewing Christian fiction over 10 years ago, my options for obtaining books were the library, the bookstore, receiving review copies from the author and/or publisher (both print and eBooks), and eBooks from Amazon. I’m sure that’s not an exhaustive list, but those were the main sources. Since that time, books are more widely obtainable, and I’ve since discovered two monthly subscriptions that make even more books available to me. There are pros and cons to both platforms, and while there is one that I LOVE more than the other, I still find both to be valuable enough to…
