Shelter of The Most High by Connilyn Cossette

What can I say about this book?  It was phenomenal.  Breathtaking.  Wonderful.  It literally grabs you from the first page.  I honestly never thought that I would add Biblical fiction to one of my favorite reading genres, but this author has made that happen.

This powerful novel will keep you reading it straight through.  As you read Sofea and Eitan's story you will be captivated by them and the events that happen to them.  As the book begins, the drama starts immediately.

This book is beautifully written, well researched and written by a very knowledgeable author.  I highly recommend it.  And if you haven't enjoyed Biblical fiction in the past, this book will convert you!

I received a copy of this book from the author.  All thoughts are my own.

Imagine The Fall of Jericho by Matt Koceich

This is a book geared for youth ages 8-12.  As I started reading it, however, it drew me in as well.  I wanted to see what happened to Jake Henry in his unexpected adventure.  And it was an adventure story of a time travel type as he goes from a world of social networking and kid's video games and summer camp back to ancient history.

I think this is a good way to engage young people in history and in the Bible.  With those video games these days it is often hard to tear them away and focus on other things.  This book might just help parents divert their attention.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

The Still Small Voice by Lorana Hoopes

This was a book that kind of makes you think.  If you are Christian, it is a good reminder to listen to the promptings that come to you when you are in tune, and listening for answers.  I found it very interesting and it was an enjoyable read.

The Bishop's Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison

Somehow, I can't see a bishop's wife quite like the character in this book.  I wasn't convinced.  It was interesting, but not really accurate in the way she viewed some things.  I give it 3 stars.  It kind of left me feeling that something was off...
