It's momplicated by Debbie Alsdorf and Joan Kay

This book is such an awesome book, for women who want to try to understand their own relationship with their Mother's to Mother's who want to nurture their own relationship with their daughter  I cannot recommend this book enough!
I have a great relationship with my Mom and so blessed to have her, this book made me realize all the more how incredibly blessed I really am and yet I still felt like this book applied to me. I can see how things my Mom did or said have very much shaped me into who I am today and how the things I say and do (or don't do) for my daughter will have a major impact on her life.
This book is such a great reminder that there is healing and hope for any relationship and I don't say that lightly because I know there are some terrible Mother's out there and one of the authors had a pretty bad one but it was beautiful to see some of the healing that was brought to them in later years .I loved the reminder that I need to be more intentional in my parenting and that many of our decisions and what we do deeply impacts our children.
Well written and very thought provoking this book will get you thinking and want to improve one of the strongest bonds you will ever have, that of the relationship with your Mother.

The Edge of Over There by Shawn Smucker

This is the amazing sequel to the riveting book "The Day the Angel Fell", if you are looking for a Christian novel that is not run of the mill then you will want to check this out!
The story line is intriguing but it is the writing that makes it utterly riveting and an absolute page turner. With memorable characters and a plot that keeps you engaged until the very end, this book is so hard to put down!
There is so many different elements to this book and so much going on I don't know how to explain it, so do yourself a favor and check this book out, you won't be disappointed!

River to Redemption by Ann Gabhart

I have not read such an  interesting, thought provoking piece of fiction  in quite some time, this book truly was excellent and I loved the fact that it was loosely based on a true store. I loved how a town came together to buy the freedom of one man who risked his life and did not think of himself and took care of others. I love how this book weaves together several stories of memorable characters and is realistic in their flaws and struggles and yet it is encouraging to watch them grow and be given second chances.
I love how the author found this obscure story of human kindness and brought it to life.

The hope of Azure Springs by Roachel Fordham

I was absolutely enthralled with this book, I felt like the characters and message was refreshing and not run of the mill. I cannot say enough how much I appreciated a character who was not utterly breathtaking and who had beauty that came from within. Em was an charming and endearing character who you cannot help but grow to love and cheer on as she wins the whole town of Azure Springs over through her kindness and inner beauty. While Em doesn't get all of the happy endings one hopes for I felt like her story was more realistic to how life turns out sometimes and that made it all the better albeit sad.
Memorable characters, a wonderful heroine and a compassionate hero, the romance was charming and slow to build up which is exactly what I prefer.
I thought this was an outstanding book by a debut author, I will certainly be on the look out for more of her books in the future!

Minding the light by Suzanne Woods Fisher

This is another great, easy read by one of the most prolific Christian historical authors out there! I think this series by her is one of my favorite! Filled with endearing characters that engage and delight this book jumps between two different historical periods and it adds so much depth and layers to the whole story!
This book is about something beautiful coming out of a tragedy. When Daphne and Ren lose someone near and dear to them will something good come out of the tragedy? As they grow closer together will they be able to overcome the barriers that separate them or will their love come at too high of cost?

Engraved on the heart by Tara Johnson

What a beautiful book for any historical lovers who enjoy anything to do with the Civil War era. I loved how this book seems like your typical historical fiction and yet it dives into deeper issues as the book progresses, I thought it was interesting to read about the main characters battles with epileptic seizures and how that was viewed  by society then. Despite being a Southern belle Keziah proves she is so much more than her family's expectation to marry well. When she is reintroduced to her childhood friend, Micah, her life sets on a path quite unlike she ever expected.
Filled with lush details and an engaging story this book is a must read! I know I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

100 Bible Stories for Children

This book is an absolutely wonderful introduction to the Bible for young ones, highlighting 100 of the most famous stories from the Bible that have gorgeous illustrations to enthrall and engage little ones. I know my 3 year old really enjoyed the stories and the illustrations, she was particularly thrilled to see so many stories about Jesus life in here as those are her absolute favorite. I am always eager to get copies of Bible stories and see how the pass muster with my little one and this one certainly did! She goes for it all the time and I feel it is a good way for her to familiarize herself with the scriptures at a young age.
This is a stunning book that would make a great gift or would be great to have on hand at home to engage your little ones in the word of God.
