Veil Of Secrets


Veil Of Secrets is a followup book to To Know You by Shannon Ethridge and Kathryn Mackel. I fell in love with To Know You and gave it 5 stars when I read it, but Veil Of Secrets even surpassed the first book. It was amazing. Veil Of Secrets switches viewpoints to follow Destiny's adoptive parents, Melanie and Will Connors. Will is the chief campaign strategist for a presidential candidate and is extremely busy with his job and has been living apart from Melanie on the campaign trail. Their marriage is falling apart and their daughter Sophie is in the middle. Along the way we also follow Carrie's story, which is a great story line on its own and a big part of the book.

I really can't say enough good things about this book, you just need to read it for yourself, because it's that amazing! I recommend reading To Know You first. I literally just couldn't put this book down. I read it in less than 24 hours and could've read it faster if I had the time! I love how the characters are Christian, yes, but they're not perfect. They're very real people with very real struggles and problems that I could relate to. I really hope there's going to be a third book, because a lot of loose ends were left at the end of the book. I'm assuming that's because there's going to be a third one, but there wasn't an ad in the back like on the first one so I'm a little worried. Please, Shannon, continue the story for us! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian fiction.

I received a copy of this book from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Surviving Death

Image
Surviving Death by Leslie Kean is an investigative journalist's deep dive into the afterlife and all of the current scientific studies and evidence we can examine. The back cover says: "“While exploring the evidence for an afterlife, I witnessed some unbelievable things that are not supposed to be possible in our material world. Yet they were unavoidably and undeniably real. Despite my initial doubt, I came to realize that there are still aspects of Nature which are neither understood or accepted, even though their reality has profound implications for understanding the true breadth of the human psyche and its possible continuity after death.” So begins Leslie Kean’s impeccably researched, page-turning investigation, revealing stunning and wide-ranging evidence suggesting that consciousness survives death. In her groundbreaking second book, she continues her examination of unexplained phenomena that began with her provocative New York Times bestseller UFOs: Generals, Pi

Can I Just Hide In Bed 'Til Jesus Comes Back?

I'll admit - I wanted to read Can I Just Hide In Bed 'Til Jesus Comes Back?: Facing Life With Courage, Not Comforters by Martha Bolton and Christin Ditchfield mainly because of the cute cover (I mean, just look at it!) and the fun title. I often just want to hide in my bed with junk food, books, and Netflix and retreat from the world and responsibilities. However, I know that hiding in bed really isn't the answer to life's problems. I figured I'd pick up this book and see what Martha and Christin have to say about facing life head on. The back cover says: "Depression, fear, a sense of unworthiness, and unfulfilled dreams can make women retreat to their beds—figuratively and literally—and refuse to face life. Yet most of the time, hiding in bed makes matters worse. Who needs emotional bedsores? Authors Martha Bolton and Christin Ditchfield gently show women how to climb out from under their emotional bedcovers, face their fears and doubts, and step into the l

Forgiving Our Fathers And Mothers by Leslie Leyland Fields (with Dr. Jill Hubbard) is one of the best books on forgiveness I've read in a long time. Each chapter details a different aspect to the parent/child relationship and need for forgiveness, followed by a word from Dr. Jill and study questions. I really enjoyed this format. It was like getting to the heart of the matter with Leslie, and then visiting a professional psychologist (Dr. Jill) to process your emotions afterward. Leslie uses her own real life story, plus the stories of others who have had difficult relationships with their parents, plus plenty of Scripture, to trace the path to forgiveness and healing. This book really hit home for me. Warning: it will probably make you cry! Leslie's story, as well as all of the others, were alternately emotional, touching, sad, horrifying, and redeeming. I liked how Leslie brought practical tips to questions such as, "Do I have to forgive?", "How do I forgive?
