I loved the first book in this series and love this one even more! Tissues please! I cried at the grief as well as the beauty. Such a meaningful and memorable story.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Gemma and Graham will not be forgotten. They’ve melted their way into my heart. There are so many layers to their relationship, and so many obstacles to overcome—which is what kept me so engaged and eager for them to reconcile. Grief and anger are such strong emotions, and I felt their pain. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">There are other elements to the story, such as mystery, loss, and grief, and forgiveness, but Gemma and Graham’s struggles and pained relationship are what kept me glued, surprised, and touched the deepest.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I truly can’t wait for book 3 in this series.

There are many mermaid members in MIRA from all over Asia, such as Princess Hwangok (Korea), Roro (Indonesia), Jiao (China), Ningyo (Japan), Songkhla (Thailand), Duyung (Malaysia), Sovann Macha (Cambodia), Sirena (the Philippines), and Mei (Taiwan). <em style="position: relative;">Mei's Mermaid Mission </em>is an exquisitely illustrated picture book that follows Mei as she travels all over the Asia Pacific region to gather the team of heroic mermaids in order to stop the pirate from polluting. Can Mei and the MIRA mermaids stop the pirate in time? Over twenty sea animals and over twenty locations in Asia are introduced in this story, as well as Asian mermaid mythologies in the book's backmatter. Children and adults will delight in this cultural story emphasizing empathy, friendship, collaboration, and environmental protection.</span></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #515151; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">BUY THE BOOK:<br /><a href="https://amzn.to/3SRYFf7" style="color: #24678d; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">AMAZON</a> ~ <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/meis-mermaid-mission-crystal-z-lee/1144838286" style="color: #24678d; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">B&N</a> ~ <a href="https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Meis-Mermaid-Mission/Crystal-Z-Lee/9781913891596?id=8432089439909" style="color: #24678d; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">BAM</a><br />add the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/207686730-mei-s-mermaid-mission" style="color: #24678d; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease-in-out;" target="_blank">goodreads</a></span></strong></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><div style="background: rgb(115, 254, 255); border-color: rgb(131, 60, 11) currentcolor; border-style: dotted none; border-width: 1pt medium; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-left: 1in; margin-right: 1in; padding: 10pt 0in 4pt; text-align: start;"><p align="center" class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; border: medium; color: #823b0b; font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 16.666666px; margin: 8pt 0in 10pt; padding: 0in; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">AUTHOR INTERVIEW<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><div style="text-align: left;"><style class="WebKit-mso-list-quirks-style">

But truth be told, when we personally experience suffering, we have a difficult time actually believing it. Yet, life is challenging even for the followers of Jesus, and hardship in the twenty-first century is no exception. <i>God’s Goodness for the Chosen</i> takes readers through eight lessons which reveal how God uses suffering to bring about good things in the lives of those He loves.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In this guide, you’ll see:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Death is eclipsed by life<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Grief is eclipsed by praise<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Questions are eclipsed by resolve<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Confusion is eclipsed by grace<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Temporary things are eclipsed by eternal things<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Heartbreak is eclipsed by love<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Sin is eclipsed by obedience<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> • Pain is eclipsed by the fullness of God’s plan<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15pt; font-weight: 400; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Use this Official Study Guide to the Hit Series, The Chosen: Season 4!</span></p></div><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255); border-color: rgb(131, 60, 11) currentcolor; border-style: dotted none; border-width: 1pt medium; margin-left: 1in; margin-right: 1in; padding: 10pt 0in 4pt; text-align: start;"><p align="center" class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; border: medium; color: #823b0b; font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 16.666666px; margin: 8pt 0in 10pt; padding: 0in; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">MY REVIEW<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“<b>God’s Goodness for the Chosen</b>” is an interactive Bible study revealing how God brings good things out of bad situations. It deals with grief, heartbreak, pain, confusion, and more. I love how it illuminates the love and light of God and how He brings us through these hard times. Perseverance is succeeding at something despite the difficulties we face. And Perseverance builds character.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">If you’ve watched Season 4 of The Chosen series, this study is a bonus element. The 8 lessons follow the 8 episodes and are suitable for small group or individual study.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The language used is easy to understand and has a conversational tone to it. Nothing preachy or stodgy. The feature I enjoy the most are the <i>“For Bible Nerds (like us) Who Want to Know” </i>sections, highlighting something special within each lesson. The guide also includes prayers, Scripture verses, thought-provoking questions, maps, charts, and more to encourage and inspire you to dig deeper and see and accept things in a new way.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Though I am new to these Chosen studies, I look forward to delving into the other three. (There is a study guide for each of the four seasons of The Chosen.) I love how the study shines a light on how God is with us, and strengthening us, even when we are going through trying times. He guides us through to the other side with unfathomable blessings.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="color: red;">Series:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The Chosen Bible Study, book 4 <br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Genre:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Bible Study<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Author:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Amanda Jenkins, Dallas Jenkins, Dr. Douglas S.

It comes in various cover colors, such as teal, purple, brown, and blue.) The leathersoft cover is soft and supple, with silver page edges, debossed title and cover design. (The different covers have various designs on the front cover.) I appreciate the cardboard slipcover box it comes in that helps protect it when being stored upright on a bookshelf or if you hope to wrap it as a gift.<br /></span><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">One of the top features of this Bible is foretold in title. It is super slim! Ultra-thin. Though this makes the font a bit smaller (8pt Comfort Print), it is wonderful for portability. If you have younger eyes or use readers, you’ll appreciate the thinness of this Bible.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">There are many lovely features. Full-color maps, an attached satin ribbon marker, the traditional two-column design, and more. It even has a pretty presentation page in the front for gift-giving. This Bible is well crafted and pretty—just what I expect from Thomas Nelson. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">(Thomas Nelson guarantees the quality of this Bible—for life!)<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;">Genre:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Bible<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Publisher:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Thomas Nelson<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Page Count:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">896<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #333333;">#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book.

</style><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Firstly, “<b>The Breathe Life Holy Bible </b>(NKJV),” published by Thomas Nelson, is stunning in appearance.

After toiling alongside her demeaning father for two years, she cannot bear losing the homestead they built with their own hands.

Often described as having been born outside her time, she has a deep affinity for an old-fashioned, natural lifestyle.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With a degree in Equine Health & Rehabilitation gathering dust and a full-time job tethering her to a desk eight hours a day, Andrea decided it was time to show both herself and her children that it is truly possible to make your dreams come true. Now with over 1,000 contemporary Christian romance novellas sold, Andrea is pursuing her passion of writing faith-filled romance woven with a thread of true history.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><h1><span underline="">More from Andrea</span></h1><div style="text-align: left;">In many ways, Reverence in the Wilderness is deeply personal for me.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />To read about Daniel Scott is to receive a glimpse at my own husband. Dark hair and a golden-brown gaze…and my complete opposite in nearly every way. He is also talkative, entertaining, and gentlemanly. He definitely shares Daniel’s fun-loving and caring nature. Just as God blessed Keturah with Daniel, God blessed me with a man who perfectly complements me while keeping life interesting.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And, not to provider spoilers, but the miscarriage was drawn from one of my own experiences. During my most recent pregnancy, I experienced a threatened miscarriage. I just knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had lost my baby, and in that moment, I glimpsed the hopelessness one would face during a miscarriage. Thanks to the prayers of others and the good Lord above, I was blessed with a healthy pregnancy from then on out and now have a beautiful, healthy baby boy. However, there are so many women who must face that grief and loss in full force. And for always, my heart will break for them. As soon as I returned home from the hospital that night, I knew I had to represent their plight within these pages.</div><div style="text-align: left;">This book is dedicated to every woman who has ever experienced a miscarriage or threatened miscarriage.</div><h1 center="" style="text-align: center;"><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255);

It’s easy to imagine his pain and fear, and the panic that must’ve filled each breath. I empathized with the uncertainty of his outcome, as well as his deep concern for the wellbeing and whereabouts of his friends.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Once the governor sends John and his friends into exile, and admits he is impressed by John, readers begin to see the profound effect John has on those around him. This story explores John’s unwavering faith and courage, despite his doubts. This is an impactful book that reveals John’s legacy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: red;">First Line:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">John’s eyes snapped open, and he turned his head wildly, straining to see something, anything!<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Series:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The Last Disciple, book 3 <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Genre:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Biblical Fiction<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Author:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Kurt Brouwer<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Page Count:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">366<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><i><span style="color: #333333;">#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book.

He also loves to write. In addition to all the usual temptations writers face, Kurt has to fight off the lure of beautiful beaches, pounding surf, great weather, and lush golf courses. Can you imagine?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Despite those temptations, he writes The Last Disciple series of Christian historical novels and he regularly writes blog posts.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A few years ago Kurt did a study for his church on the Apostle John. That little project got him hooked on the man who started out life as a fisherman and then became the last disciple of Christ. The more Kurt learned about John, the more he wanted to know.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">If you’ve ever been obsessed by anything, you’ll understand that he couldn’t stop researching the life of John and all those around him. And the result of all that research is:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>The Last Disciple Series</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">The Last Disciple is a series of Christian novels based on the Bible and Christian history. The first in the series: <b><i>The Last Disciple: Crisis in Jerusalem</i></b>, begins in the year 62 AD. In it, you walk with John through the streets of Jerusalem. See how he faces multiple crises and comes to understand what it is to stand alone and lean only on the Lord.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />This book, <b><i>The Last Disciple: Exile in Ephesus </i></b>is the third in the series, with two more books planned. Kurt is now writing the fourth book, <b><i>The Last Disciple: Gospel of John.</i></b></div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span underline="">More from Kurt</span></h1><div style="text-align: left;">It all started one day when I learned that the Gospel of John was published fifty years after Jesus died. Fifty years! What did John do all that time? Where did he live? Why did he wait?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />But wait, there’s more. On the Cross, Jesus placed his own mother under John’s protection. How long did John take care of her? Where did they live?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />I think you can tell I got a little obsessive about this man, who outlived all the others to become the last disciple.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />In fact, that very phrase, the last disciple, came to me early one morning when I was reading about John and Peter going to Samaria in Acts 8. John lived so long that he outlived all the others and became the last disciple.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>The Youngest Disciple</strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><br /></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;">What do we know about John? He walked with Jesus when he was very young, probably a teenager or very early 20s. He and Andrew were the first disciples of Christ. Before that, they both followed John the Baptist.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyone who reads the New Testament would know John as:</div><ul><li>The son of Zebedee, his father, and Salome, his mother</li><li>Brother to the disciple James</li><li>A fisherman on the Sea of Galilee</li><li>He and his brother James were friends and even fishing buddies with Peter and his brother Andrew</li><li>Youngest of the 12 disciples.</li><li>Author of five books of the Bible:<ul><li>The Gospel of John 80-90 AD</li><li>The Letters or Epistles of John 90-95 AD</li><li>The Book of Revelation 95-98 AD</li></ul></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;">But after the mention in Acts 8, that’s it for John. Radio silence for nearly 50 years. Why did it take him so long to write the Gospel of John? And that is the very question I seek to answer in The Last Disciple Series.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>The Last Disciple Series</em></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><em><br /></em></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;">The Last Disciple is a series of Christian novels based on the Bible and Christian history.

Wonderfully warm characters, a NC mountain setting, elements of faith and romance, and a touch of mystery and anticipation. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Landry, a single mother, is so easy to connect with. Cal and his family are easy to embrace. But these two have their own reasons for trying to keep their focus off each other. I rooted for their romance and enjoyed their growth. Cal found a special place in my heart and is my favorite character in this book.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I loved this story and its alternating points of view. I learned so much about Cal and Landry, as well as the town and townsfolk of Gossamer Falls. (And what a gorgeous town name—and book series title.)

His relief at boarding the train for the first leg of his journey home is short-lived when an accident renders him unconscious.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Angela Larkin worked hard to earn this assignment for the Treasury—an undercover mission to determine the source of the sapphires brought each year for auction in the city. When an accident causes her target to lose his recent memory, Angela jumps at the opportunity to create the ideal ruse. Jude seems surprised to learn the two of them had married and were returning from a glorious wedding trip, but he doesn’t question too strongly.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yet when an unexpected threat arises, they find themselves dependent on the other to navigate the treacherous journey home.

I enjoyed the twisty-turny adventure and the revelations that transpired.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Angela and Jude are interesting characters that are effortless to connect with. They feel authentic and I empathized with them both. Especially Angela. Oh my, I felt her pain, despite her flaws, and hoped for her to have a good outcome. And Jude’s faith and character made me sigh more than once. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This is one of those stories that stays with you. I love the strength and power the story holds with spiritual awakening and transformation.

Beller</strong> is a <em>USA Today</em> bestselling author of romantic mountain stories, set on the 1800s frontier and woven with the truth of God’s love.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Raised on a farm and surrounded by family, Misty developed her love for horses, history, and adventure. These days, her husband and children provide fresh adventure every day, keeping her both grounded and crazy.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Misty’s passion is to create inspiring Christian fiction infused with the grandeur of the mountains, writing historical romance that displays God’s abundant love through the twists and turns in the lives of her characters.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Sharing her stories with readers is a dream come true for Misty. She writes from her country home in South Carolina and escapes to the mountains any chance she gets.</div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><span underline="">More from Misty</span></h1><div style="text-align: left;">In my latest release, the hero and heroine travel up the Missouri River in a steamboat, and I loved the research for that portion of the story!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Traveling on a steamboat in 1869 was an experience like no other, and took about two months to travel from St. Louis, Missouri to Fort Benton in the Montana Territory. Passengers would step aboard these floating palaces to find ornate decorations, plush accommodations, and the promise of new scenery at every bend in the river. Despite the occasional discomforts of travel—such as noisy engines and the ever-present risk of boiler explosions—passengers reveled in the novelty and the relative speed of steamboat travel.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />The Missouri was notorious for its shifting channels, snags, and sandbars, which could easily ensnare even the most experienced pilot’s vessel. Navigating this river required an intimate knowledge of its capricious nature, and the river pilots were worth their weight in gold.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">River towns along the Missouri thrived thanks to the steamboats. These towns became hotbeds of economic activity, where goods were loaded and unloaded, and stories from faraway places were exchanged. The arrival of a steamboat was an event, often met with fanfare and excitement by the local populace.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />I pray you love the peek at steamboat life in <em>Protecting the Mountain Man’s Treasure</em>!

The nine-year-old thoughtfully responded that she’d consider his proposal when they were older.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Nearly two decades later, the Amish farmer returns to the beautiful countryside of Arthur, Illinois, to take the independent owner of The Quilt Room up on her promise. Quiet, handsome Jacob is truly in love with the spirited list maker, and Trini finds herself falling in love with Jacob, but the youngest of eleven has big plans of her own.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Jacob’s long-held aspirations are put to the test when he learns that Trini has been holding a secret. He prays for a turnaround of events; however, when Trini moves away from her tight-knit community, he begins to realize that his dream of them being Mr. and Mrs. most likely won’t happen.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Will Trini forfeit her own well-laid plan for the man of her dreams?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><pre style="text-align: center;">Click <a href="”https://amzn.to/3vTttEE”" target="_blank">here</a> to get your copy!</pre><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255); border-color: rgb(131, 60, 11) currentcolor; border-style: dotted none; border-width: 1pt medium; margin-left: 1in; margin-right: 1in; padding: 10pt 0in 4pt;"><p align="center" class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; border: medium; color: #823b0b; font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 16.666666px; margin: 8pt 0in 10pt; padding: 0in; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">MY REVIEW<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“<b>The Quilt Room Secret</b>” is a sugary-sweet story of love and friendship. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I enjoyed Trini’s journey of self-discovery and felt her numerous lists made her unique and interesting. I can’t say her need for control didn’t confuse me at times though. Jacob is such a genuine man, and I loved his strong faith and kind heart. Their childhood history, and now their reborn friendship is what kept me turning pages. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This is a sweet story that flows smoothly and at a leisurely pace. The conflicts are a bit soft, but the dreams of the future and struggles of the heart are pure and understandable. Trini and Jacob’s paths bring them closer together, but they risk losing it all. I enjoyed seeing God’s path develop and become more evident in their lives.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: red;">First Line:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Trini Sutter didn’t fear much.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: red;">Series:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The Heart of the Amish, book 3 <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: red;">Genre:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Amish Romance<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: red;">Author:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Lisa Jones Baker<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: red;">Page Count:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">256<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #333333;">#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book.

She grew up near Arthur, Illinois, and became acquainted with the Plain Faith at an early age when they custom-made and installed her family’s kitchen cabinets. On weekends, she and her parents frequented the quaint Amish town, often the setting of her stories, where they purchased meat, cheese, and home-made baking spices. Now, decades later, she still loves visiting; the town and the people yet intrigue her, and she so appreciate the talent of quilt-making almost as much as she loves horse and buggy rides. But there is much more to this perplexing group than meets the eye; they are extremely disciplined, hard-working, and honest…and they don’t all think alike. For these reasons, writing about them is her passion.<br />Lisa was fortunate to have been raised in a loving, Christian home by two wonderful parents: a reading specialist mother who plays the piano, and a retired Junior High Principal father who’s also an avid fox hunter. She has a B.A. in French Education and is a former school teacher who loves gardening, cooking, reading, positive thinkers, and every dog she meets. Although a homebody, travel has played a large part of her life. Over three decades of working with the airline industry has landed her on five out of seven continents.</div><h1><span underline="">More from Lisa</span></h1><div style="text-align: left;">Secrets fascinate me. They always have. From experience, I know that they’re difficult to keep confidential. And when the wrong person gets hold of what you don’t want out. . .There’s no telling what will happen!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />List maker Trini Sutter has decided her future, even though what’s ahead comes with great risk. The owner of The Quilt Room in Arthur, Illinois, relishes being in control of her life. But what she doesn’t expect is for someone to get wind of her deep, dark secret and to leak it to her tight-knit Amish community! Now that the quilter’s confidential plan has become public, will she be able to pull it off? Or will <em>Gott</em> override her “list” with the destiny He has planned for her? Find out in <em>The Quilt Room Secret</em>.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Enjoy this short excerpt:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">“Trini, look at me.”</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">She hesitated. Did she dare? She didn’t know what it was about Jacob that stole her voice. Her breath. Her entire being.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">With one gentle motion, he placed his finger underneath her chin. He was so close, the light cinnamon on his breath lingered in the small distance between them. His clothes smelled like outdoors. She could see tiny lines around his eyes. They made him take on an even more manly appearance. His voice was barely more than a whisper. “You feel it too, don’t you?”</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The last thing she wanted was any romantic complications that would interfere with her plans to leave. <em>I must not lead Jacob on. I must not lead myself on. What I’m feeling…it’s wrong.</em></div><h1 center="" style="text-align: center;"><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255); border-color: rgb(131, 60, 11) currentcolor; border-style: dotted none;

I’ve always been drawn to WWII settings and the extraordinary people who persevered the ugliness with faithful hearts and incredible courage.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I love how part of this story addresses those who risk everything to save others. What a beautiful storyline. But what shines brightest in this story is hope the two main characters Noemi and Caitlyn hold dear. Though I found it more challenging to connect with Caitlyn, I connected with Naomi with ease, and loved their courage, adaptability, and faith.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This is a beautiful, heart wrenching, suspenseful, hope-filled, story for those who love to read clean, historical fiction with elements of spiritual faith.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="color: red;">First Line:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">They say every building has a story, an unwritten history contained within its structure.<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Series:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Echoes of the Past, book 2<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Genre:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Christian Historical Fiction<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Author:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Liz Tolsma<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Page Count:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">320<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #333333;">#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book.

She is a popular speaker and an editor and resides next to a Wisconsin farm field with her husband and their youngest daughter. Her son is a US Marine, and her oldest daughter is a college student. Liz enjoys reading, walking, working in her large perennial garden, kayaking, and camping.</div><h1><span underline="">More from Liz</span></h1><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>The Story behind the Cover of <em>What I Promise You</em></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><em><br /></em></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;">In the late summer, I got the preliminary cover for <em>What I Promise You. </em>While Barbour Publishing always does a great job with their covers, and the one they sent was very nice, I wasn’t crazy about it because it didn’t tell the story at all. The mansion that plays such a big part in the novel was nowhere to be seen. Barbour is fantastic when it comes to working with me to get great covers, so I asked if we could include the real mansion that the story is based on. Turns out that they were having trouble getting copyright permission to use any image they could find of the maternity home.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">That was disappointing. But I got brave and let them know that I took a picture of it when I was in France last year, and they could use it, but I’m not a very good photographer and I only used my iPhone. I attached the photo to the email and didn’t hear anything for a while.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Then in October, I wanted to include a preorder link to the book on social media or something and went to Amazon to grab it. And there was the cover. I went back and forth between the cover and my picture, and sure enough, it was the picture of the maternity home I had sent them! So I not only wrote <em>What I Promise You, </em>but some of my photography is on the front. I never thought that would happen. Am I in the wrong profession?? Just kidding!</div><h1 center="" style="text-align: center;"><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255); border-color: rgb(131, 60, 11) currentcolor; border-style: dotted none; border-width: 1pt medium;

The story is about more than a sweet little pup. I was surprised and intrigued to discover this story contains sober topics such as domestic abuse and grief, coupled by the power of prayer chains and how God works in mysterious ways. The serious topics are balanced nicely with lovely relationships, and even humor.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; white-space: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A charming southern small town is one of my favorite story settings, such as the town of Prosper, Virginia, where this story takes place.

What do <em>you</em> try to hide?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />The idea for this contemporary fiction began in a small country church during an Easter prayer vigil a decade ago. As I sat in the pew late at night, I heard a strange scratching noise. When I turned to locate the sound’s source, I saw a woman across the aisle with a little Yorkie.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />The vigil was silent, so I didn’t approach the lady, but I did wonder why that pooch accompanied her in the sanctuary. That scenario, connected with others in my weekly involvement in several volunteer roles, sparked imagination. We judge appearances and may completely miss needs of the heart. Do we know our neighbors?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Experiences as an advocate for survivors of domestic violence started me wondering how do people get free from damaging situations? What are the obstacles holding them back?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Serving as a Stephens Ministry leader in my home church exposed me to people suffering loss. How are we to stand with those crushed with grief?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Another volunteer role helping immigrants settle in the U.S. reminded me of the difficulties they face.

Phoebe Sinclair combines her love of flowers and teaching to nurture a cut flower business on her grandfather’s land. She’s got her hands full growing the farm, growing her customer base, and dealing with her growing attraction to the aloof man who’s volunteered to help make her farming dream come true. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Can she focus on her main job, or will a pair of yearning eyes and a hurting heart divert her worthy goals? </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Heath Daniels has resigned himself to a life of singleness as he watches his siblings couple up and set wedding dates. Tracking their happiness, however, is more difficult than he expected. A real struggle, in fact. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Feeling the old troubles creep back to tempt him—troubles from the bad time when he dropped out of college to explore less-than-noble pursuits—propels him to volunteer for manual labor that leaves him exhausted at the end of every day and out of trouble. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">His additional hours of agri-business, however, lead to more struggles with an intriguing farmer. Does he have the strength to resist old temptations as well as a beautiful new one, too?

Griffin</strong> is the author of several Biblical Fiction novels as well as devotionals, prayer journals, and Bible studies. She will be releasing a Christian Fantasy series in 2025. She currently resides in Northern California with her husband. They met in middle school a few days after she was transplanted to the West Coast at the tender age of twelve. She has three adult children who have been an endless source of delight and inspiration. She also has a precious new grandchild who brings her joy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />As a native New England girl, she fondly remembers spending her summers there as a child. Thick accents, small towns, and fascinating weather stirred the imagination of a young heart. She has always had a fondness for stories thanks to her imaginative mother who would make up wild, adventurous tales to tell when tucking her into bed as a child.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />She truly believes that a book that sits on a shelf unread is like a planted seed that never blossoms.

I’m not sure I could determine exactly what specific influence it had on my writing as different from its influence on me as a person. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> The city being an intense, often chaotic place certainly led me to seek tranquility. I found that in a spiritual practice and daily meditation. I’m not sure I would have had that urgency if I had grown up in a more pastoral setting. Finding that serenity in my home allowed me to enjoy the often-overwhelming frantic nature of the city. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> A great advantage of growing up in Manhattan was the plethora of cultural opportunities. I was a movie fanatic. The city being a safer place than it is today, my parents let me go to the movies alone starting at a young age. There was no need to get a ride from anyone as I became a quick study of the transit system. With those opportunities, I believe I was able to learn much about life from a young age. As a boy, it was my quest to know what ingredients went into creating a life that worked. Having those cultural opportunities provided a great education. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> As we know, Manhattan has a history of great poets. Walt Whitman, Allen Ginsburg, Langston Hughes, and Dylan Thomas are just a few that immediately come to mind. There legacy is evident in so many parts of the city. I am sure their spirit influenced me in the past as it will in the future. </span></div></div></div></div><hr style="clear: both; color: #8e8e8e; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify; visibility: hidden; width: 628px;" /><div class="paragraph" style="color: #515151; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255); border-color: rgb(131, 60, 11) currentcolor; border-style: dotted none; border-width: 1pt medium; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; margin-left: 1in; margin-right: 1in; padding: 10pt 0in 4pt; text-align: start;"><p align="center" class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; border: medium; color: #823b0b; font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 16.666666px; margin: 8pt 0in 10pt; padding: 0in; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><b><span face=""Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="color: #ff2600; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 33.333332px;">♡</span></b><b><span style="color: #ff2600; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 33.333332px;"> </span></b><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">G</span></b><b><span style="color: #0432ff; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">I</span></b><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">V</span></b><b><span style="color: #0432ff; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">E</span></b><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">A</span></b><b><span style="color: #0432ff; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">W</span></b><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">A</span></b><b><span style="color: #0432ff; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">Y</span></b><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">!</span></b><b><span style="color: #ff2600; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 33.333332px;"> </span></b><b><span face=""Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif" style="color: #ff2600; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 33.333332px;">♡</span></b><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a class="e-widget" href="https://gleam.io/nip4H/gratitude-twohundred-short-poems-spotlight-book-tour-giveaway" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GRATITUDE; TWO-HUNDRED SHORT POEMS Spotlight Book Tour Giveaway</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkF4FDAwEn_ej1E-GlmowZ0k-oyaDxS8cTrTPfBsxE0vutMDTRfRyPzPBA4hBaJUtaxQYOabv_qNefMAjbAXwx1ANZRI1uEsKrV33D-ZiEMO1kx-AqBDbPK7rlF0ijI9_XSievamVHsrjI6nV0iigL5-btUx0XhP3V_Zvxf8K4YaFhJ2SQcliAvD1t529/s1570/iRead%20Website%20new%20logo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="260" data-original-width="1570" height="106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkF4FDAwEn_ej1E-GlmowZ0k-oyaDxS8cTrTPfBsxE0vutMDTRfRyPzPBA4hBaJUtaxQYOabv_qNefMAjbAXwx1ANZRI1uEsKrV33D-ZiEMO1kx-AqBDbPK7rlF0ijI9_XSievamVHsrjI6nV0iigL5-btUx0XhP3V_Zvxf8K4YaFhJ2SQcliAvD1t529/w640-h106/iRead%20Website%20new%20logo.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

The lessons are easy to follow and understand, with guided study, Scripture verses, discussion questions, activities, prayers, and more. I enjoyed studying the meaning of Paul’s letter to Ephesus during biblical times, and how we can apply the practical teachings in our daily lives. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="color: red;">First Line:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Real World Bible Study guides make it easy to build a daily Bible study habit and learn to understand God’s Word for yourself.<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Series:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Real World Bible Study Guides <br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Genre:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Bible Study<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Author:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Joy Suzanne Hunt<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Page Count:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">114<br /><o:p></o:p></span></i><span style="color: red;">Reading Age:</span> <i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">10-18<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #333333;">#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book.

Her mission is to equip men and women to take ownership of their lives, faith, and finances. When she’s not teaching, writing, or coaching, you can find her walking her Temecula neighborhood, trying out crockpot recipes, or playing board games with friends. </p><p></p><h1><span underline="">More from Joy</span></h1><div style="text-align: left;">As a Bible college professor, I’m always looking for books written “by the seminary guys but for normal people,” meaning that I want the best scholarship and teaching out there, written in a way that everyone can understand. (Let’s face it: even if you’ve been to grad school, chances are reading someone’s PhD dissertation isn’t actually fun for you.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And as a pastor, I choose study guides for our small groups that help teach members <em>how</em> to study the Bible and give them a framework to build Bible study into daily life. My favorite study guides pull in great background information and teach hands-on study skills, and are structured in a way that helps readers to spend time in God’s Word every day (whether they spend 5 minutes or 30). This study was born from our church calendar: all of my favorite study guide series’ are 13-week studies, and I needed to plan for a small group series that would last 7-8 weeks. What do you do when you can’t find the book you want? You write it, of course!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />This study guide is built around the “3 Steps to Interpret a Bible Passage” that I’ve been teaching to my School of Ministry students for years. If you’ve never looked into the historical context of a passage on your own and made the connection to our lives today, you’re in for a treat. Getting into the context really makes God’s Word come alive for us and it helps guide how we handle difficult topics. I hope this study leaves you hungry for more – and armed with the tools to encounter and interpret God’s Word for yourself every day.</div><h1 center="" style="text-align: center;"><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255);

And winning the Silver Leaf Flour Company baking contest could be the key to that success. She even has a chance at a prestigious position through a dashing former beau. But when her son gets into a fight with the local pharmacist’s son, Maggie’s peaceful life is derailed.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Reserved pharmacist and recent widower Thomas Harper is also looking for a fresh start for himself and his four children. But when Thomas falls gravely ill, his only choice is to enlist the help of the local baker with a knowledge of concocting remedies. He’s even more reluctant to admit that Maggie may also be the remedy for his grieving heart. And when a traveling medicine man’s medicines beget tragedy, Thomas and Maggie must overcome their differences to save the children of Stone Creek—and face the growing attraction between them—before it’s too late.<br /> <br />Click <a href="”https://amzn.to/48QNKsj”">here</a> to get you copy!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="background: repeat rgb(115, 254, 255); border-color: rgb(131, 60, 11) currentcolor; border-style: dotted none; border-width: 1pt medium; margin-left: 1in; margin-right: 1in; padding: 10pt 0in 4pt;"><p align="center" class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; border: medium; color: #823b0b; font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0.25pt; line-height: 16.666666px; margin: 8pt 0in 10pt; padding: 0in; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;"><b><span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 30px;">MY REVIEW<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“<b>Secrets and Wishes</b>” is sweet small-town opposites attract story. After reading the first book in this series, I was eager to revisit Stone Creek, Michigan, and its townsfolk. I connected a bit stronger with Thomas than with Maggie, perhaps due to his growth, but I was invested in both, empathized with them, and hoped they’d find healing. The traveling medicine man was a fascinating element and captured my interest.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">With warm themes of faith, forgiveness, and finding purpose, this redemption story is a satisfying read. It deals with love and loss and reveals how a merry heart does good, like medicine.

Being an adult neurodivergent person, has recognizing emotions been particularly difficult for you?</span><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br /></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Conveying emotions used to be a hurdle for me. I remember, as a kid, my family and I were watching a talent show. While a contestant sang, my mum said, “Oh, I knew she wouldn’t be picked.” To which I skeptically replied, “How did you know?” Right after that, my mum bluntly exclaimed that she knew based on the judges’ facial expressions. I had my attempts on the succeeding contestants, but I would fail while most in our family would be right (thanks to her tip). I, then, had a hunch that I might be a little peculiar.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><b style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">As a cat lover, I’m delighted by the inclusion of Marion’s cat, Coco.

Did you have a lot of input in the artwork, or did you allow the illustrator to have free rein? </span><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br /></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">I respect illustrators for sprinkling magic into every story. In the process, we closely check in with each other to make what we think fit. The only thing I am particular about are the facial expressions.

Through personal stories and verses of Scripture, she uncovers how people see someone as successful if they’ve gained fame or fortune, but success in God’s eyes is much deeper than that—our heart, our purpose, our faith.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">One of the keyways to success is to keep God first. When we focus our hearts on Him, we are following our true path, and when we are steadfast and genuine, our success grows.<br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I love books that are inspiring, motivating, and aligned with God’s word, and this one fits the bill. Even if you don’t normally read non-fiction books, I recommend this one. It has the potential to not only change how you view success, but how you grow in it.
