Read and Share Stories about Jesus

Gwen Ellis

A board book, Stories about Jesus is a wonderful bible story book. With wonderful pictures, the bible stores are easy to read and understand. Each story ends with a simple thought and/or question. For toddlers who like to handle books, Stories about Jesus is also suitable for children up to age 8. The questions at the end of each two page story with pictures allow them to put to practice what that particular bible story was teaching. Younger children will be challenged to think about the questions. Early elementary age children will find it easy material for their developing reading skills while their thinking is also challenged.

I highly recommend this book to anyone with children toddler to second grade.

Save the Date by Jenny B. Jones

This story of a woman who runs a home for out-of-the-system foster girls and a former football star running for a political position is full of humor, good life lessons and a story line that will keep you reading well into the night.

Lucy grew up in a single parent home, never knowing her father. Attending a private school, she suffered the put down of her classmates because she was not from the same social economic background they were. Along comes Alex who is from a well to-do family and has political ambitions. Both need help achieving their goals in life and strike a deal to help each other reach them. Along comes life and during the months of their friendship they find there is a need for much forgiveness, love and acceptance of all that life has dealt them.

Jenny Jones, an award winning author, has authored other books that I am going to look for. I recommend Save the Date to anyone wanting a good Christian fiction book that has the potential to open their eyes to situations in their own life.

Tandem by Tracy Bateman

I was disappointed in Tandem by Tracy Bateman. I was into chapter 3 before I was able to have a clear idea of who the characters were and their relationship to each other. At that point I thumbed through the book, reading sections to get a feel for the story. When I became convinced that Ms. Bateman was dealing with vampires and the occult (whether real or alluded to) I quickly lost interest.
I will not be likely to recommend this book to others.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Love on Assignment

Love on Assignment by Cara Lynn James

The second in the Ladies of Summerhill series, Cara Lynn James has given us a story set in Rhode Island in the early 1900s. The main character, Charlotte, finds herself in a job situation that many will identify with today. During the trials and successes of her day to day life, she learns the meaning of a relationship with God and how He guides her.

I found to be Love on Assignment superior to many of the usual Christian romance novels. A true romance novel, the reader is kept in suspense until close to the end. There is no figuring out the source of some of Charlotte’s challenges ahead of time. The story line was lively, full of twists and turns that kept the reader reading. A difficult book to put down. Cara Lynn James does not disappoint her readers.

I read Love on a Dime prior to reading this book and look forward to the third book of the series. The setting remains in the Rhode Island area, though the time frames are different. There was a brief mention of some of the characters from Love on a Dime, but that did not hinder the story. In fact it provided continuity between the two books.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading good books.
