    The Lost Art of Relationship by Dan Chrystal Blog Tour and Giveaway

    January 27, 2019 / Comments Off on The Lost Art of Relationship by Dan Chrystal Blog Tour and Giveaway

    About the BookTitle: The Lost Art of Relationship  Author: Dan Chrystal  Genre: Christian non-fiction, Christian living  Release date: October 15, 2018Relationship is a journey of discovery—a lost art. In this generation, it has become challenging to deepen and grow personal relationships with each other. Our technology-flooded environment has left many with limited relational experience and a fear of face-to-face connection and meeting new people. The church has done a decent job of helping people understand the need and importance of a relationship with God, but what about with each other? At the heart of every man, woman, and child is the need for connection—for relationships with people who love them…

    Secrets at Cedar Cabin by Colleen Coble

    January 27, 2019 / Comments Off on Secrets at Cedar Cabin by Colleen Coble

    This is the third full length novel in The Lavender Tides series but reads well on its own. I enjoyed it. Coble has done a great job of combining mystery, romance, and suspense. And what could be better than the location, the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.Readers of the series will be familiar with some of the major characters from previous Lavender Tides novels but the main character is a transplant from the Midwest. How Bailey ends up in the town is a bit convoluted, involving the murder of her mother and the bigamist she thought was her husband giving her the deed to a cabin…

    Atoning for Ashes by Kaitlin Covel

    January 27, 2019 / Comments Off on Atoning for Ashes by Kaitlin Covel

    I generally enjoyed this historical Christian romance. I am not a fan of romance novels but this one had enough interesting aspects to it that it kept my interest. It was an era in England when young women could dream of marrying for love. Sometimes they were required by parents to marry for financial security or to ensure a family lineage. That’s what happened to Josie. Her father had arranged a marriage to help alleviate his debts. When her older sister refused the arranged marriage, Josie agreed to do it. But Charles, the wealthy man she has agreed to marry, is a deeply wounded man. We wonder if Josie will…
