I enjoyed this book as much for the music environment it takes place in as the mystery and struggles of the story. I really enjoyed the song writer sharing her thought process of how she creates and allows the Lord to guide her as she is an instrument in his hand to spread his message. It is her...
This incredible story begins with a bang and does not let up! Page one introduces us to Jordan, a 15 year old crystal meth addict who had not only ditched rehab, she JUST gave birth to a baby (also hooked on meth) on her dirty mattress. Immediately I was overwhelmed with emotions, good and bad. ...
2.0 out of 5 stars -- This is a formulaic and predictable attempt at suspense thriller that falls flat for many reasons. One of the major reasons I didn't like it was that it was heavily laced with religious overtones and emphasis on Christianity and prayer. Nowhere in the synopsis does it mentio...
This is the second Terri Blackstock book I've read, and although I think it was falsely labeled suspense, it kept me turning pages (I'm a pretty picky reader, and will put a book down if it doesn't do the job it's supposed to do, which is to hold my interest).Shadow in Serenity is a modern render...

I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It is Christian fiction, for which I normally do not care. There are a few things that kept me from giving this one 4 looks, and 2 looks (for that matter). All of the typical trappings of Christina fiction are there: constant undercurrent of...

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that the author had the characters questioning faith and beliefs such as, were they a lukewarm Christian, how do you should God's for others, why does God let bad things happen, how do you forgive someone who has really hurt you. The way these questions where p...

Een mooi geschreven christelijke roman wat erg makkelijk en vlot wegleest. In het begin had ik wel even moeite met alle personages die op me afkwamen. Buiten de 4 buurvrouwen en hun mannen heb je namelijk ook alle kinderen van hen die je leert kennen.In dit boek gaat het over het zoontje van Bren...
I loved both of these novels "Showers in Season" and "Seasons Under Heaven" so much. From dust jacket:"A hurricane is roaring through Leon, Nicaragua, bringing devastation and death to the town where Sylvia Bryan and her husband serve as missionaries.A different kind of whirlwind rages in the hom...
