The Crossing

The Crossing by Serita Jakes is another one of those can't-put-down books. It follows Claudia, her husband, and various other characters who have been impacted by the killing of a high school teacher and cheer coach.

The storyline is taut and full of suspense, leaving me unable to put it down. The ending was very surprising -I can usually guess the surprise ending, but this one definitely kept me guessing right up until the end! I highly recommend this book to all lovers of Christian suspense.

A copy of this book was provided to me by Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

A Letter From Lancaster County

Image
I'll be honest: I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Amish fiction. Oftentimes it tends to be idealized, unrealistic, or contrived. However, I decided to check out Kate Lloyd's new book, A Letter From Lancaster County (the first in her new Lancaster Discoveries series) because it seemed so unique. The main characters are not Amish (although one is Mennonite), but many of the supporting cast are Amish and it is set in the heart of Amish country, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The back cover says: " Two Sisters Get a Second Chance at Life and Love Angela Her mother's untimely death, a struggling marriage, a strained relationship with her sister, Rose, and regrets over what might have been haunt her. Despite being a wife and mother, she feels she has little to show for her life. Rose Still single, she longs for a husband and children. But Angela has all that and still isn't happy. Rose wants to be closer to her older sister, but she and Angela couldn't ...

Surviving Death

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...

Arms Open Wide

Arms Open Wide: A Call To Linger In The Savior's Presence is a wonderful devotional book by Sherri Gragg. This is an absolutely beautiful hardcover book with thick, glossy, color pages. It includes a dedication page and would make a beautiful gift book. It's divided into 34 chapters, so a little over a month's worth of devotions. They are written almost in a storytelling form, which makes the passages from the Bible come to life. Each devotional starts off with a Scripture page, then gives you a short portion of the Bible to read on your own before reading her devotional commentary on it, then finishes with a prayer at the end. There is also a glossary of potentially unfamiliar biblical terms in the back of the book. I love this book. Sherri makes you feel like you were there when the Bible stories took place. She breathes a new life into passages you've probably read dozens of times. I love how carefully she brings you into the Jewish culture and understanding. The o...
