I will not fear

I don’t often enjoy books that tell the life story, especially those of the author, I find they often are made to seem larger than life. That however was not the case with Melba Beals’ book “I will not fear”, she gave such an in-depth look of the dark and dirty world of racism and fear in the 1950’s. There were parts that were so hard to read, I can’t imagine how much more difficult it was for her to live through them. But the strength she showed, the grasp she had on her faith in the midst of all these  times of struggle and pain is so inspiring. I was deeply moved by her story, it is such an important one, especially in this day and age where the fight against racism is still so strong.
This is an important book, I absolutely encourage anyone and everyone to read it,

Judah’s wife

For a while now I have really enjoyed Angela Hunt’s books based off of biblical stories, she often gives a perspective that is new to me, and offers the reader the ability to place themselves in the shoes of those who’s stories we don’t often think about.
I really enjoyed “Judah’s wife”, it was thought provoking, the wondering of the stories that don’t get told, of the women behind these biblical heroes, who must have had so much strength too, to go with their men, to support their callings.
I absolutely could not get enough of this book, I had it read within hours of picking it up, and was so disappointed when it was over, I wish it could had gone on for so much longer!
This is one of those books that has earned a spot on my “read again” book shelf, I enjoyed it so much! I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of historic biblical fiction!!
