The Sister Preachers by Gayle Sears

I grabbed this while shopping at Deseret Book the other day.  The title and cover immediately caught my attention and I knew this was a book that I wanted to read.  

The story is about the first female missionaries serving for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  (LDS) These young women were planning a trip to Europe but were both in for a big surprise by receiving an unexpected mission call.  

The story tells of the difficult trials that they experienced.  The women work diligently to clarify false assumptions about their church and its beliefs.  It was a very interesting book and I enjoyed it very much.  It shared the good and the bad times that these missionaries experienced during their mission.  I recommend this excellent Christian book.

Shadowed By A Spy by Marilyn Turk

This is a historical mystery romance.  It's WWII and this book tells the story of  how Lexie and fiance Russell choose to do their part for the cause.  It's a very interesting book which takes you back to another time, and let's us share some of the experiences that took place.   This is the second book and the first book, The Gilded Curse was the book which precedes the events in this story.  If you read the first book, you will become familiar with the characters and the events that lead to where they are in this book.  I really felt that this book was a wonderful read.  I truly enjoyed it and it was very entertaining, interesting as well as educational in some of the goings on during this difficult period in history.

I highly recommend this book.
