Maid to Match

To be honest, when i saw the book upon receiving the package, i really didn't have very high hopes for it. I tend to stay away from the mushy love story kind of books that tend to get a bit corny and unrealistic. I'm SO glad to find that this book was not like that!! (That'll teach me for judging a book by its cover!)
Out of all the books i recieived this is one of my favorites. I loved reading about Tillie Reese and the struggles she had between choosing her job/family and finding love. I thought that the plots and Characters we all quite well laid out and very realistic. I'm crossing my fingers on this one and hoping the author comes out with a sequal to it! I keep thinking back to the story and wondering how their lives continued on after the book was finished!
100% recommend this book!!

A Tailor Made Bride

Like I've mentioned before (Numerous times I'm sure, lol) I love historical fiction. I love learning the different ways that people used to live and I love hearing what their lives must have been like. So when i saw this book, I immediately was intrigued.
The book surrounds the lives of Hannah Richards (Who through some amazing generosity, receives a great gift and a new life) and her struggles of fitting in and succeeding in a new town, with a new business. Also we hear a great deal about J.T. Tucker and his misconceptions he has towards the town's newest member.
I really enjoyed this book, i found myself getting angry right along side Hannah at some of the unfair things said to her, and rejoicing with her when things started going her way. I don't usually find a book that engages me this much, so of course I absolutely loved it!!
A great read for anyone!

A hopeful Heart

I 100% loved this book, it was such a fantastic and charming read. I really enjoyed reading the struggles and triumphs of the main character Tressa and the other brides as well. I have a huge liking of any historical fiction, so this book was right up my alley.
I thought the book had a great message (and a clever walk through of the gospel) within it, and felt that this story would be well received by anyone!! The plot and characters were (In my mind at least, lol) very realistic and engaging. I felt like i was right there along with them!!!
Great book and one I'll be recommending to a number of people!!

Out of the spin cycle (Devotions to lighten your mother load)

I love this book, I love it So much. I can't even begin to explain how much of a difference reading this book has made in my walk with Christ. I especially loved the section titled "The cannibalization of me" this little devotion spoke loads to me. Everything she mentioned fit right in with where I am in life!
This devotional had really revived my spiritual life and gotten me back into the Scriptures again. Hatmaker gives some great insight in her book with practical and insightful ways to get into a deeper relationship with God and to really find who you are in Him as well.
This book I think will benefit any woman, whether she is a mother or not. There's so much spiritual truth in it, that you can't read it without reviving your spiritual life!! I highly recommend this book!!

Momology

I was a little weary about reading this book, I'm not normally into the "how to raise your child" books that seem to be out there. Most seem unrealistic or corny, and tend to be on the sanctimonious side. I was thrilled however to discover that this book is Nothing like that! I loved especially the section that Radic included that compared a mother's parenting style to Psalm 139. Its such a unique yet practical comparison!
I found that the book Momology was full of great info that was quite practical and have already started to implement the ideas that the author presented! I also loved reading about the real life stories she included, it really helped me to apply the points she was making to my own life.
I would highly recommend this book to any mom, whether your a brand new one, or well seasoned! This book will  and has become a great guide that i foresee myself reading many times over as my child grows!

The Homecoming

I can't even begin to tell how excited i was to find out we were reviewing a copy of the book "The Homecoming" after I learned  that it was the sequel to Dan Walsh's book "The unfinished gift"! These are those kind of books you read a dozen times, the story is so heartwarming and full of hope. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Homecoming", the characters and scenes (especially war scenes) in the book really tugged at the heart strings. By the end of the book I was thoroughly hooked on this story, the characters were quite likable and believable.
I very much liked the character Katherine Townsend and was thrilled to see how big of a roll she played in this sequel. I thought the book had a strong Christian message, but it didn't come across as really preachy, which i appreciate.
I very much recommend both of the books by Dan Walsh, (The unfinished gift, and The homecoming) They are a fantastic and heartwarming read!!
