Recent Reads

This is a book I read as a daily quiet time along with my Bible.  I give it 3 stars.  The content is good but the writing style is elementary.


This a book I used as a daily devotion along with my Bible reading.  I highly recommend this book if you have a sincere desire to lose weight and grow spiritually.  This isn't a book about diets but it is a great encouragement to help you with your journey of weight loss. 5 stars



This is a book I read aloud to our boys as part of our history.  It gives a bible fiction account of the Noah's Ark story.  It does a wonderful job creating a story around the Bible account of Noah.  Lucille uses Noah and his family as the actual characters.  While the storyline isn't all based on Biblical fact, Lucille is careful not to comprise the Biblical account.  Our boys and I really enjoyed this as it helped give a better understanding of the culture and times of Noah.  5 stars



This book was one I read as part of the book club I started for our neighborhood.  In short, the characters in this book lacked personality and were all depressed, which is indicative of the book itself.  I only enjoyed the last 2/3 of this book.  3 stars



I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  It was the first adult Biblical fiction book I have read.  This book gives a fictional account of the time of Moses when the Hebrews were slaves.  My attempt to explain this book wouldn't do it justice.  But I can highly recommend you read it if you enjoy Christian fiction.  5 stars



This is another book I read for my book club.  I really enjoyed the storyline but the language was horrific.  The storyline is 4 stars, I just hate the vulgar language it contained.
