GOSPEL FORMED by J. A. MEDDERS

You are in for a spritual renewing as you read this very life changing book. Growing up as a preacher's kid, I can totally relate to his description of a pew rat. I went to church every time the doors were open. I acted prim and proper and did all the right things. However,  I didn't grasp the concept of what being a Christian was. As the author explains,"Without the gospel, we lack the proper understanding of any doctrine , and especially a robust knowing of God himself." We need to keep Christ as the center and glorify Him.

This book has so many profound nuggets that I couldn't put it down. It has energized me, opened my eyes to the fact that even though we may drift away from Him, His arms are wide open. He is ready to embrace us, and welcome us back with His unconditional love.

Worship has always been very special to me. It is my time to get lost in His presence and forget everyone and everything around me. I now understand that as we worship, we are being prepared to hear the incredible Word. The words written about the gospel in this book is described by, " the gospel burrows deep into your heart, your joy will be inexpressible , uncontainable, and completely understandable- because Jesus is incredible."

Just as parents are excited to hear from their children, God wants to hear from us. He wants us to spend time with Him, talk to Him, and have a deep relationship with Him.   If we can commit ourselves to Him, the enemy has no way into our lives. It is also important to surround ourselves with "people who aren't fenced in, friends who have the right to speak into your life at any time about anything. You need other Christians who are willing to say the hard things, ones who are ready to speak the truth in love." It may not be easy to hear the truth from your friends, but it is important to have accountability with others. They are there to encourage you, speak truth and love you.

As we renew our relationship with God, we need to be out sharing who He is with others. We are called 'to be His hands and feet" , not to sit around and keep the gospel to ourselves. Thank you for writing such an incredible book that stirs us to the core and fills us with new energy as we ugo out and spread the Good News to others.

NO MORE LIES by JILL M. TOMLINSON

The book is a great insight into the early trauma Ms. Tomlinson endured. Even at a very early age, the lies of the enemy can attack us . She began to believe that she was at fault for the horrible  sexual attacks against her and that set the stage for fear to run  rampant in her life. As we are aware of, the enemy tries to lure you away from God. He will try anything from lies, abuse , and depression to get you to stray away from God. If he can achieve that, he has put chains around you and you become a prisoner in you own body , mind and soul.

I loved the author's testimony and how she overcame the lies of the enemy. She is honest and clear as she takes readers through steps that will help you become stronger, overcome lies that have kept you chained to depression and thoughts if worthlessness. We are not responsible for ungodly acts done to us, but we can overcome them by the word of God.

The book is very encouraging and empowers readers to unlock those shackles that are lies and walk in authority of unfailing love "All that matters is what God says about you."  " Don't waste another moment of time believing the lies of satan. Walk in truth and live forever free!"

FORGIVEN, FAVORED, & FREE by JILL M. TOMLINSON

The book is very insightful and give you practical tools to walk in forgiveness , and live a free life in His presence. The author talks about how God is "never finished with us." We are a work in progress and should always seek intimacy with God. We should be excited to know that He wants good things for us and to continue to seek Him. One of the things some of us forget , is the importance of our relationship with God. He should be the one you call on in times of need and also have a desire to spend intimate time with Him.


It's like meeting a friend and wanting to get to know them better. That is what we should be doing with God. The more time we spend with Him, the less the enemy can whisper lies to us. We have been set free and need to start accepting our freedom. The enemy is always close by waiting for a narrow path to slip in. As we become strong in our faith, the passageway closes and locks out the enemy from our lives.  I loved the author's example of tearing down walls that keep us from living a free life. Don't let your circumstances dictate your freedom.

He loves his children and does not want to see us struggling with depression, feelin  worthless, or unloved. We need to take authority of those lies and rest in His assurance that , " he will never leave us, nor forsake us."
As Christians we can become complacent in our relationship with God and this book gives us encouragement and tools to rebuild  trust with Him.

The book is a very practical tool to show you how you can be free from distraction caused by the enemy. Ms. Tomlinson says, " As you trust Him, and your roots grow deeper in His love, you will grow stronger." "There is no greater promise than His."

CHIVALROUS by DINA L. SLEIMAN

Oh the sweet journey of returning to an era rich in knights, lovely fair maidens and a story filled with excitement that starts on the first page. Imagine watching a jousting match where the rush begins at the sound of the strong and mighty horses  as they  gallop across the arena. The two opponents are at attention with determination coursing through their veins. The shields are up, helmets on and swords at the ready. Who will win this fight?

That is writing at its very best as the author grabs you and takes you on a ride that doesn't end till the last page. The secret of that match just happens to be a very intensely trained knight whose name is Gwendolyn. Her opponent that day was none other than her maid whose jobs he thought  was to keep the young lady Gwendolyn's  hair perfect and in her attire in impeccable order. Gwendolyn's father would be furious if he had any idea that his daughter was doing such out of character things like being in a jousting match.

Gwen is a very strong young lady with dreams that will disappoint her father. There are great character developments in the story and a great message that the author addresses with grace as she shows how God views women. There will be times during the story where some will experience the love of a God like never before.
Will Gwen follow her dream or submit to her father's wish and marry someone whom she detests?

I found myself really liking Rosalind a lot. She has a sweet spirit and willing to help Gwen without questioning her motives. She will become an interesting character  in this story and much more as the next book in the series will feature her as the main character.


The author tackles tough issues that women faced during this time period with wisdom and knowledge of the era. Some may argue that the history is not correct or the message was not clear in the book, but for me it was a book filled with adventure, God's love and a look into the medival  times through an author's perspective.

The story is filled with the history of Puerto Rico and sites that take your breath away as the author uses expressive words to make the history come to life.  I loved how she showed Joy praying and seeking God to heal her hurts. The book is a lovely story of taking chances and relying on faith and and listening  to the wisdom God speaks . I encourage readers of light romance to read this book and explore with Joy and Ben as they take you on a journey of love, forgiveness and believing in yourself.  As you read this book remember, "I'm learning we're all broken in some way, but God sees us as perfect ."

STILLWATER

by

Melissa Lenhardt

Big Secrets Run Deep.

Former FBI agent Jack McBride took the job as Chief of Police for Stillwater, Texas, to start a new life with his teenage son, Ethan, away from the suspicions that surrounded his wife’s disappearance a year earlier.

With a low crime rate and a five-man police force, he expected it to be a nice, easy gig; hot checks, traffic violations, some drugs, occasional domestic disturbances, and petty theft. Instead, within a week he is investigating a staged murder-suicide, uncovering a decades’ old skeleton buried in the woods, and managing the first crime wave in thirty years.

For help navigating his unfamiliar, small-town surroundings, Jack turns to Ellie Martin, one of the most respected women in town—her scandal-filled past notwithstanding. Despite Jack’s murky marriage status and the disapproval of Ethan and the town, they are immediately drawn to each other.

As Jack and Ellie struggle with their budding relationship, they unearth shattering secrets long buried and discover the two cases Jack is working, though fifty years apart, share a surprising connection that will rattle the town to its core.

Chapter One

Thursday

A line of flashing blue and red lights led the way to a pale green single- wide trailer. Firemen, sheriff deputies, and EMTs huddled in front of the house, talking, looking around, and laughing. All eyes turned to Jack McBride’s car as it pulled into the dirt-packed front yard, which doubled as the driveway.

Jack set the alarm on his phone. “Stay in the car,” he told his thirteen- year-old son, Ethan. He opened the door, got out, and leaned back in. “I mean it.”

“I know, Dad.”

Neighbors grouped behind yellow crime-scene tape. Some wore paja- mas, others wore work clothes. Women held babies, children craned their necks to see better, eager for information to share at school. A young officer guarded them—Officer Nathan Starling.

It was his file that had fallen from Jack’s lap when he was startled awake by the early morning call. If Jack hadn’t read Starling was the youngest and newest member of the force, he would have guessed it from his role as crowd control. Starling shifted on his feet and looked over his shoulder at the crowd, as if debating whether he should leave his post to introduce himself or stay put. Jack waved an acknowledgment to him and moved toward the trailer.

Jack nodded at the group of first responders as he walked by and received a couple of muttered hellos in return. Some looked from Jack to Ethan and then back. Jack climbed the uneven concrete steps, stopped at the door, and put on paper booties and gloves. Behind him, he heard a low conversation start back up, the words alone, wife, and no one knows carrying across the yard as if announced through a bullhorn. The screen door slapped shut behind him, cutting off the rest of the conversation.

The smell of chili, paprika, and cumin hung in the air of the trailer. Flimsy wooden cabinets topped with a chipped orange Formica counter were wedged against the back wall of the main room by a strip of ugly, peeling linoleum. Brown shag carpet, flattened by years of traffic, marked off the living area of the room. Left of the door, under a loud window unit dripping condensation, sat a couch of indeterminate color too large for the room. A black-haired man with bloodshot eyes and a green tinge underneath his dark skin sat on the couch, chewing his nails. He looked up at Jack and stopped chewing—a signal for his leg to start bouncing. A bull-necked police officer, his thumbs crooked underneath his gun belt, stood guard over the man.

“Officer Freeman,” Jack said.

If Michael Freeman was surprised Jack knew who he was, he didn’t show it. His face remained expressionless.

“Chief McBride.”

A third officer stood at the mouth of the hallway to the right with a portly, elderly man. Relief washed over the officer’s face. He moved for- ward, hand outstretched. “Chief McBride,” he said. “Miner Jesson. This here is Doc Poole.”

Jack shook their hands.“Sorry to meet you under these circumstances, Dr. Poole.”

“Helluva case to get on your first day, eh?” the doctor said.

Jack nodded and gave a brief smile. He pulled gloves and more paper booties from his coat pocket and handed them to Jesson and the doctor. Jack walked down the hall and entered the room. Jesson stopped at the door.

“Gilberto and Rosa Ramos,” Jesson said. “Found dead this morning by Diego Vasquez.” He jerked his thumb in the direction of the man sitting on the couch. “Says he’s Rosa’s brother. He don’t speak much English, but from what I gathered, he came to pick Gilberto up for work and heard the baby screaming. When no one answered, he let himself in. Door was open. Found them just like that.”

They were both nude. The woman lay face down, covering half of the man’s body. The right side of the man’s head was blown across the pillow. Blood and brain matter were sprayed across the bed, under the woman and onto the floor. A clump of long dark hair was stuck to the window with blood. Her right arm extended across the man’s chest, a gun held lightly in her grip.

Jack walked around the bed.

Doc Poole stood next to Officer Jesson. “It takes a special kind of anger to kill someone you are in the middle of fucking, doncha think?” Doc Poole said. “Ever see that in the F-B-I?” Derision dripped from every letter.

Jack ignored him. “Where’s the baby?”

Jack hoped the revulsion on Jesson’s face meant scenes like this were rare in Stillwater. If he had wanted to deal with shit like this on a regular basis, he would have taken a better-paying job in a larger town.

“Officer Jesson?” Jack said. “Where’s the baby?” “Oh. It’s with a neighbor.”

“Has anyone called CPS?”

“Why?”

“To take care of the baby.”

“The neighbor offered.”

“And what do we know about this neighbor?”

He shrugged. “She didn’t speak much English.”

“So, she could be in the next county by now?”

“Oh, I doubt that,” Jesson said. “She seemed like a nice sort. Very

motherly."

Jack cocked his head and puzzled over whether his most senior officer

was ignorant, naive, or an amazing judge of character.

He turned his attention to Doc Poole. “What’s the time of death?” “Sometime last night.”

“Can you be more specific?”

“Didn’t see the need. Seems pretty obvious what happened.”

“Oh, are you a detective?”

“No. I’m a general practitioner.”

“You’re the JP, aren’t you?”

“No. I used to be.” He chuckled. “Too old for this now.”

“Yet, here you are.”

“JP is on the way, Chief,” Jesson said.

Jack kept his focus on Doctor Poole. “So you heard this over the radio

and decided to come? Or did someone call you?”

“Well,I—”

“Do you have the instruments necessary to establish a time of death?” “Not with me, but—”

“Then get off my crime scene.”

The little man straightened his shoulders and lifted his chin. “I can

see why Jane Maxwell liked you.” He started to leave but turned back. “We do things different here in Stillwater.”

“Not anymore we don’t,” Jack said.

By Deana Dick

Jack McBride thinks he has found the perfect town to move with his son to. As an ex-FBI, he is hoping for a quiet little town where he can settle down and start his new job of chief of police. Ethan, his son is not quite as happy to move and seems to have a chip on his shoulder. Jack knows his son is hurting still with the disappearance of his mom. Hopefully a fresh start in a small , quiet town will help them get close again.  Ethan's character is written with that  of a typical teenager trying to  fit in to a new school while having the "I don't care attitude ."

Jack seems to be adjusting to the slow pace as chief of police, but that is about to change very soon. A call comes in about a a couple who has been found dead and the scene is anything but ordinary. The crime scene is grisly and Jack has many questions about this suspicious murder. As the investigation continues, another mystery surfaces. It seems that a skeleton has turned up on someone's land. How long has this skeleton been here? The quiet town Jack thought he came to has suddenly become quite a busy time for the police.

The author weaves a great tale of "the good old boys" thinking where many sectrets have been kept and . Their attitude has been look the other way when a crime is committed in exchange for favors.  Can Jack take on this tight knit group and uncover crimes that have long been hidden? There are great characters in the story that keep the reader interested and the intrigue is well written. The book is a story of corruption,  murder and  dark secrets nestled in a small town where nothing  is what it seems.

How many of us hear the call on our life and find excuses to ignore Him?

She is told that there will be a little wait before she can speak with a counselor. Lexi decides to go to the library to wait. She grows tired and lays her hear down to rest.

NOTHING VENTURED by JANE OLDAKER

The story is about a woman determined to build  a high-end housing development. Such a big dream for a woman who is essentially on her own,  some people may think. That doesn't stop Molly for going full speed ahead. Molly needs to find someone that will help her go forward with the building with much needed funds.  She meets Paul, who will hopefully be her answer to building this big project . The author touches on the strained relationship between Molly and her dad, which explains her determination to do the impossible task some people think she won't finish.

There is romance blooming between Molly and Paul  that makes the story fun as they explore their feelings. At times it seemed like maybe they were holding back a bit. Is it possible they have secrets they are hiding from each other? Molly's character was very well developed . The author shows how working in a "man's world " can sometimes be difficult but Molly had such heart and enthusiasm for the project which helped get respect from others who had doubted her.

The book at times did slow a little but overall the story was written with characters who were inspiring and fun to read about. It was a light hearted book that is perfect for an enjoyable day to relax , get comfortable and enjoy a well written story .

DOVER PARK by BRUCE FOTTLER

Jim and Sara lead a quiet life with their two sons. Everything seems to be going well for them until Jim gets a mysterious call one day. The caller on the line is  saying they are Jim's  daughter. Jim is beside himself and can't explain the weird calls to his wife. There is a knock on the door one day and there stands a young girl who says her name is Rachel. She says she is Jim's daughter and seems to know a lot about the family. Who is this girl? Rachel is upset because Jim keeps denying he is her father. Rachel doesn't understand why the house she grew up in looks so different. She says she wants to come home and has nowhere else to go.  Can you say bizarre? Where did Rachel come from? The story at this point takes a twist so unexpected that I had to read faster to see what was going to happen next.

As I started reading more of the story, I suddenly felt like I was reading a script from "The Twilight Zone."  The author had me so engrossed in the book, I couldn't put it down. The characters are so well written and very convincing , I wasn't sure who was telling the truth at times. As Jim keeps everybody believing that Rachel is not his daughter, a new layer to the story unfolds. Will the real father please stand up?

I love a good mystery that has plots that follow a twisting road and this book is packed with twists and turns and layers of secrets that will blow you away. The story was drawing to a close when I suddenly realized that the author had brilliantly written a mystery so perfect that no one will ever see the end coming. The last few chapters will have you questioning who is really telling the truth? Be prepared for the explosive ending that was masterfully written with more then just a girl trying to reconnect to her father. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a mystery thriller.  It is not your typical mystery where it is easy to figure out. It is a well crafted story that has everything that will have reader wanting  to read more from this author.
