Baseball

God's Allstar Baseball Team

I got this book not because I am a fan of baseball  but because it brigs  me back to  some fond memories.  Also  wanted to learn about Art! this book is full of pictures!! It was fun to follow his life story.  and there were some really funny episodes  especially about his brothers and  mother. Interesting perspective on how God can use this sport to teach us abut  him  in his word.  Funny how the Bible can be looked at in many different lights.  I hope you are on God's base ball team.  Learn about God's love in this book and how he broke Art to use  him for his glory. 

Side  note I don't agree with all the doctrine but you make the call.




Thanks olive press for the book to review!

Mind spinning Adventure

I had to read this book as the author is Canadian. I am too, having lived  in this land till I was 6. In fact the author Sandra ( who has  my middle  name) lives in Ontario where  my grandma lives!  I was shocked at  how good the writing was. I guess I learned all Canadian authors in the same band wagon , and  never cared for their writing style. This is very true of French books ( they are always watered  down- except for a few ).  but not of the English speaking population,  They have a fin style that is well worth reading.  This one contained  romance, mystery leaving you wanting  more.

Fall right into a  mystery. If the author does not write  more about Serena Jane I am going to go crazy.  She leaves you hanging as the character runs of yet to another thrilling adventure.  Follow her  in her art endeavors  to save  valuable  paintings.  She is brilliant  at all she devours to figure out.  Follow the characters into this novel.

Thanks  Revell for the book to review.

Playing the part

Playing the Part by Jen Turano

Surprisingly  this was a good read despite it being a romance. I liked the gentlemen in this story better than the ladies. I found the plot was very interesting.   Who wrote the  plays that Lucetta acts and why is the basement  of the house she is visiting set up as a death chamber? Are all men out to get her.  Would it be better for her to return to life on the stage?  There she could be a star but her step father is  problem.

Find out if her fans will ruin her life or she will rise above them.  Very well written .  Jen has done yet  another fabulous job on her books.

Thank you Bethany house for this book to review.

The Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson

An interesting  read which will keep you spell bound even if it is a Romance. I loved the front, the ocean and the girl(I always wanted hair  like that).  There is some Christian  wording but how  much  the writer really shares a true faith in God  is left to be debated.

This story captivated the heart and takes you way to Price Edward Island.  Marie is running away from the past , trying to get away from memories that haunt her.  Prince Edward Island is just the place.  Nature  will heal her or so it seems until she meets some one she  never  wants to ever set eyes on.

Men are  more trouble then she can ever handle.  Not  all except an older one who enlists her  help in decorating an inn. While she struggles to find her place , she is shadowed  by a mysteries  man running from his  past.  why is he following her if it is plain he hates women.

Should she stay or go.  Can she help save the inn when money is running out?

“A charming inn in need of restoration, Prince Edward Island, and a love story? Yes, please! In The Red Door Inn, Liz Johnson crafts a story about new beginnings and fresh hope. I thoroughly enjoyed this first novel in her new series and the vicarious visit it offered me to the Canadian Maritime Province of Prince Edward Island. I could almost feel the sea breeze!”
– Becky Wade, author of the Porter Family series
