I’ll say this up front – I’m not a big “Amish Fiction” person. I’ve read Beverly Lewis’ “Summer Hill Secrets Series” (teen fiction) and had my pleasant fill of the Amish setting. I enjoyed and would recommend that series, especially to teens, but my natural tendency is to lean towards historical fiction or something with…
The title caught my attention. What was the author saying with such a title? That we shouldn’t share the Gospel with people? The teaser from the back cover explained why and the concept behind the book kept me coming back for more. Author Randy Newman poses the question, “Have we been approaching evangelism with the…
“Will Our Generation Speak” by Grace Mally was given to me as a Christmas present from my best friend and I was very blessed by reading it.

I don’t know about you, but I love a good spin-off series. Every story has an end, but when an author takes the people around the main character in one book/series and develops their own story in another, we get to enjoy the characters we’ve grown to love a little longer.

Do you moan and groan, complain and whine when your favorite fiction series ends? You know you can always re-read them, but if you’re like me, you just prefer that they go on forever! If that’s you, I can’t wait to introduce you to this new book from Mary Lu Tyndall, Charity’s Cross! I have…
The Reckoning is Mary Lu’s fifth book in her Legacy of the Kings Pirate Series (an absolute favorite of mine! BTW!) This installment of the series has an unexpected twist; beginning in our modern day world of 2015 and time traveling back to 1694, just a few years after the previous book, The Ransom, ended. …
Southern Gospel Music doesn’t lack for humor. Many have mastered the art of telling a good story and for the most part, folks enjoy a good laugh when they’re out at a concert. We have favorite singers who we consider “funny,” comedians who make their livelihood from it and then there are those who have…
A pirate for a guardian angel, the town laughing stock for a fiance’ and an obsessive naval officer for a rival…all have woven themselves into Juliana Dutton’s life, and as far as she is concerned, all are unwelcome. Step into Port Royal, Jamaica 1692, and experience the extremes of two worlds as one woman faces…
