You will follow along and learn the ropes of P.I. work as Robert Grey and Jane Carson solve a voter fraud case that leads them down a much darker road than anticipated.</p><p>Sally Jo Pitts does an excellent job of building her characters through the story as the two investigators learn about each other and the events that have led them to this point. She builds a wonderful array of supporting cast memebers in the quaint little town of Pine Bluff, Alabama. I especially enjoyed the complex character of the Sherriff Barnes. He is the main reason the team is hired as he has lost the latest race for sheriff but it looks rather suspicious how his competition won. His tough exterior covers up the disappointment over losing the seat and the recent pain of losing his wife. This character has a real "<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1836037/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Longmire</a>" feel to him. His troubles only worsen when he becomes the main suspect in the killing of his rival.</p><p>Pitts weaves in a thread of faith within the two main characters right on through to the climax of the story giving a David versus Saul twist to the plot. I am not well-versed in mystery stories so it is difficlut to speak with any certainty on the pacing of the story. I could best describe it as a "slow burn". There are questions and clues and many investigative techniques used to move the intriguing story along. </p><p>Well worth the read!

<br />
God Bless the Broken Road is directed by Harold Cronk who brought us God's Not Dead and God's Not Dead 2.<br />
<br />
It tells the story of a young mother who loses her husband in Afghanistan and struggles to raise their young daughter in his absence.<br />
<br />
The film combines elements of faith, country music, and stock car racing while paying tribute to those who serve in the United States Military.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a clean, family friendly movie this is an excellent choice for you.<br />
<br />
Visit your local theater listings for times.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For the main character, Amber Hill, life changes drastically when she receives the news that her husband, a soldier stationed in Afghanistan had been killed. When she receives this news she is leading the church choir practice, which until that moment seems to be the delight of her life.<br />
<br />
As often happens when tragedy hits, our lives shift and joy gets buried in the pain. The movie jumps to two years later where we find Amber struggling financially as a single working mom, disconnected from her church roots and completely uninterested in singing. Even her young daughter, Bree, can't convince her to sing "just once more".<br />
<br />
Then enters Cody, a race card driver in a slump. His reputation appears to be that of a bad-boy and he is sent to the equivalent of 'the Minors' to sharpen him. He arrives in the small town to be mentored by a man named Joe Carter who runs a mechanics shop, ministers to young kids and apparently is a whiz at car racing.<br />
<br />
The first thing Joe does when Cody arrives in town is take him to church where Cody sees a beautiful woman across the parking lot dropping off her daughter. His interest is sparked and shall we say the rest is history?<br />
<br />
Well, there is a romantic element to this film but it takes a far back seat to the rest of the story and by the end of the film there is still just a "hint" of something brewing. A very clean and un-rushed aspect of the film.<br />
<br />
The main focus of the story is on Amber's choked out faith as the financial obstacles mount higher and higher against her.<br />
<br />
Some things I loved about the film: the music! It was a beautiful arrangement of hymns, current radio plays and of course the title track God Bless the Broken Road. Even has a cameo appearance by Micah Tyler as a cafe singer. As well as Jordin Sparks portraying one of Amber's friends.<br />
<br />
Another thing I enjoyed about the movie was the intertwining plots of Amber and Cody. They both had a journey to fulfill and they weren't there simply to enhance each other. However, I would have liked to see more depth to Cody's story line.<br />
<br />
This story is very moving and I went through several tissues. As the story climaxes where it seems Amber has truly lost everything in her world, she surrenders in exhaustion before God that she can't 'do this alone'. And as believers we know and understand that this is the actual moment where things change. Sometimes in movies this means everything is restored, the sun comes out and everyone lives happily ever after.<br />
<br />
Not so in real life, often.<br />
<br />
And God Bless the Broken Road tries to steer away from the Story-book ending. Instead of all her dreams coming true, Amber finds peace. And ultimately that is what we all want, isn't it.<br />
<br />
"No matter where life takes you ... faith takes you further"<br />
<br />
One note on age appropriateness, be aware there is a small amount of war scenes involving explosions and guns, injuries and death. There is no blood shown, which for some will seem very fake but makes it accessible for younger ages. I would still recommend caution for younger children.<br />
<br />
Overall, this is a great story and a well made movie. I would recommend it to those searching for good, clean entertainment. Will be worth the $$$ you spend at the box office doors.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

If you didn't get a chance to see Hillsong in the theaters, you can watch it in your own home now. Blu-ray and DVD are available now!<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This inspiring film chronicles the spectacular rise of the Christian band, <span class="il">Hillsong</span> UNITED, to a worldwide recording and concert sensation. Capturing the on-stage energy and off-stage hearts of the Australia-based band <span class="il">Hillsong</span> UNITED, <span class="il">HILLSONG</span>–LET HOPE RISE is a new motion-picture genre—the theatrical worship experience. The film explores <span class="il">Hillsong</span>’s humble beginnings and astonishing rise to prominence as an international church whose songs are sung every Sunday by more than 50 million people worldwide.</span></div>
<div style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><strong>Additional Details</strong><br />The runtime for the film is 103 mins. There are 38 minutes of the following Special Features, included on both the DVD and Blu-ray:</span></div>
<ul style="color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Bonus Performances: “Scandal of Grace”, “Captain”, “Wake”, “The Stand”</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;">Behind the Scenes Footage: LA Record and San Clemente Writing</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
This was a great film to watch. Seeing inside the heart of the individuals in the band, as well as their collective hope to use music to "connect the human heart with heaven" was very encouraging. The documentary style of story-telling takes the viewer behind the lights and awe for back stage footage, personal interviews and even scenes within the member's home lives.<br />
<br />
My favorite part was the concert footage. In most cases the words to the songs they are performing are on your screen, as they encourage the viewer's interaction and involvement right from your living room.<br />
<br />
The movie walks through the history of the band, starting out small as a youth band in the eighties, and moving up to the international phenomenon they are today -- "the biggest band you've never heard of.". Yet a lot of church people are familiar with the Hillsong United band, either by recognition of their songs on the radio or by singing their lyrics in one's home church. However I doubt anyone could list the band members by name. I couldn't - until I watched this movie.<br />
<br />
It was delightful to see the process it took the band to actually put forth some of those songs that we love to hear and sing. You might be amazed at the price it cost them to write songs that aren't aimed at fame or profitability but are aimed at the heart of worship.<br />
<br />
A special favorite part of the documentary for me was a montage of the song "Mighty to Save" as people from around the world in various languages and locations pieced together every line of the song. What a beautiful scene of <i>worship</i>.<br />
<br />
It was encouraging to know this movie was not a commercial for the Hillsong church. The members interviewed had a broader definition of "church", encouraging everyone to "find a local church, pour your life into it and you'll never be the same again". (Quote is from Senior Pastor and Founder of Hillsong Church, Brian Houston.)<br />
<br />
Some of the band members had the opportunity to talk of the places of pain in their lives that helped bring forth the music and the heart within the lyrics. It was inspiring to hear their stories. Joel Houston, song of Pastor Brian Houston and lead worship leader of the band shared this.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I feel like we are at our best when we are broken. That's the moment when God gets to be made evident. It gives us the opportunity to love and to trust and to operate from a place of His strength.</blockquote>
I recommend this DVD documentary to those who love story, who love worship, and who love to see the hand of God move in people's lives. Very encouraging. The movie is distributed by PureFlix Entertainment with no inappropriate language or scenes. Visit <a href="http://www.dove.org/review/12098-hillsong-let-hope-rise/" target="_blank">Dove Foundation's review</a> for the specifics.<br />
<br />
It is rated PG. There are some scenes of poverty as the band travels to visit a Compassion village. There is mention of a suicide in one of the band member's family. There is also talk by some band members on what the physical and family toll is from the stress and travel. However, having said that, it is important to know I did not feel these comments inappropriate. It is clear from the interviews that these worship leaders and musicians are not in this "gig" for the money. It is a calling, not unlike a Pastor or Missionary family. These are not rich rock stars - they are humble people living a humble existence as they work out their calling and ministry. One worship leader comments on how his neighbors know he works for a church but they have no idea what he actually did last night - play a live concert to a sold out crowd of tens of thousands attendees in an arena somewhere else in the world.<br />

<a href="http://beckywade.com/home/her-one-and-only/" target="_blank">Her One and Only</a> is book 4 in the series. The long awaited wrap up to the family saga and the only girl in the family of rough and tumble boys. But Dru is no princess!<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #414040; font-family: "georgia" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After ten years in the NFL, super star Gray Fowler is accustomed to obsessive fans. But when Gray starts receiving death threats from a stalker, his team hires an executive protection agency to guard him until the culprit is caught. Dealing with bodyguards 24/7 is a headache, especially when one of them is a young, beautiful woman. How can a female half his size possibly protect him better than he can protect himself?</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #414040; font-family: georgia, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px;">

Dru Porter is a former Marine, an expert markswoman, and a black belt–none of which saved her from disaster on her last assignment. In order to rebuild her tarnished reputation, she’s determined to find Gray’s stalker and, since relationships between agents and clients are forbidden, avoid a romantic attachment between herself and the rugged football player with the mysterious past.</div>

Yet every secret that leads Dru closer to the stalker also draws her closer to Gray. As the danger escalates, they’ll survive only if they can learn to trust their lives — and their hearts — to one another.</div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I absolutely LOVED the previous books in the series. Yet, this one fell very flat for me. I wholeheartedly recommend her series but cannot offer the same praise for Her One and Only. However there is a plot line in this book that follows up on Meg and Bo from book 1 </span></span><a href="http://beckywade.com/home/undeniably-yours/" style="background-color: transparent;" target="_blank">Undeniably Yours</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px;">
Now for my reasons. First of all the characters were stereotypical. I loved the flip of a teeny-tiny woman decked out with killer bodyguard skills protecting a huge, muscled tight end football player. Chapter one page one and two go into detail that the irony isn't lost on Dru either. However beyond that flip and switch, everything falls very predictable after that. Gray, our football hero idolizes himself and all the female attention he receives on a daily basis. And Dru fights tooth and nail to be seen as "more than" her short stature and womanly figure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px;">
I enjoyed the banter between the characters brought on by the way they saw themselves in contrast to each other. Yet Gray was hard to like. He baited her. He taunted her, all to prove he could get a reaction from any girl. So at times the talk between the two was inappropriate with sexual innuendos.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px;">
As is with good fiction, the main characters grow and mature as they face their issues and work through them. This is definitely the case with these characters and by the end of the book I could like and appreciate who Gray was. A part of that change for him is how his heart softened to Dru. At one point he made a bet with a fellow football player to see who could win Dru - who could get her to kiss him first. At first it was pure Neanderthal fun as the boys competed but a protective side soon came out of Gray. It redeemed his playboy qualities slightly but the novel definitely takes liberties to show his needs and urges in relation to women. Not unlike his football cohort.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px;">
I also struggled with the suspense aspect. The story opens with a prologue three months in the future. In all honesty if that hadn't been there I would not have finished the book. Because it was there I had a glimpse that something powerful was going to happen to peak the story. And I waited a lot of pages to get it. I just did not get pulled into the drama of the search for the stalker.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px;">
Yet for me the biggest distraction to the story was the sub plot of Meg and Bo's journey with infertility and loss. It was a great, inspiring story in every way but not here in this book. It needed its own title. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 28px; padding: 0px;">
It pains me to write this review as I have adored all of Becky Wade's previous books. So, suffice it to say this one will not deter me from reading another book of hers in the future. And as always if I must deliver a low rating on a book I remind you that everyone has different likes. Please feel free to visit another blog I came across that had a very different reaction to this particular book.</div>

My first opportunity to review a <a href="http://www.susanmaywarren.com/books/wild-montana-skies/" target="_blank">Susan May Warren</a> book. I've been a reader and follower of hers for years now but never had the chance to do a book review. Woohoo!<br />
<br />

Wild Montana Skies is book 1 in the Montana Rescue Series. If you have never read a Susan May Warren book start now!<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #484949; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>She's come home to heal . . . only to find heartbreak is waiting. He thought he put the past behind him . . . until he returned home to discover it's walked back into his life--and this time, with a secret he can't forgive. Can two broken hearts find their way back to love?</b></span><br />
<br />
Here's the back cover copy:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The last thing Search and Rescue helicopter pilot Kacey Fairing needs upon returning home to Mercy Falls, Montana, is to run into her mistakes. After a devastating crash during her recent military tour in Afghanistan, she is emotionally broken but ready to start putting her life back together. She just wants to reconnect with her teenage daughter and spend the summer working as the new lead pilot of PEAK Rescue in Glacier National Park.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But her mistakes aren't so easily forgotten. Because Ben King is also back in town.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Country music star Ben King abandoned his past when he moved to Nashville thirteen years ago to start his career. He hoped to heal his broken heart, caused by losing the woman he loved. But when his father is injured, Ben is called home to help manage PEAK Rescue during his recovery. He doesn't realize his father has ulterior motives until his old flame, Kacey, walks into his house and back into his heart. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Now, with Mercy Falls in a state of emergency due to flash floods, Kacey and Ben will have to work together to save lives. But when secrets are uncovered and old hurts rise to the surface, will they walk away again? Or can they find a different ending to their country love song?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Susan May Warren is known for her captivating characters and rich story lines and <a href="http://www.susanmaywarren.com/books/wild-montana-skies/" target="_blank">Wild Montana Skies</a> is no exception. Also true to form is the compelling adventure that moves the story on like river rapids.<br />
<br />
Kacey and Ben are two runners. They both fled their mistakes and ultimately each other years back after high school and now they are both home again. Although flash floods and a decimated town bring them home, it is the buried away love they once shared that keeps them here. The story line is as powerful as it intriguing.<br />
<br />
The setting of the story, Glacier National Park and surrounding areas brings it own level of intensity and excitement to the plot. Warren writes it with crystal clear clarity. Old haunting grounds and similar circumstances reignite the past that Ben and Kacey shared.<br />
<br />
There is a strong family element in this story, not uncommon for Warren. The friends and family that surround the main characters are riveting in their own way. There's an element of what our families would do for us to protect not knowing if it's the right choice in the end. And the power of forgiveness surrounding those choices.<br />
<br />
Wild Montana Skies also touches on the topic of PTSD, as Kacey is a military helicopter pilot returning home after a tragic accident in Afghanistan. The problems she faces are real and the power with which they hold in her life can be devastating. However there is hope.<br />
<br />
The faith element is evident in this story, both main characters are struggling with it but come from a solid base of Christian beliefs.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Having faith is the bravest thing we can do. It's the unwavering confidence that God loves us. That although we can't see the road ahead, we can see God." <i>page 271, Wild Montana Skies</i></blockquote>
I also love the contrast between the father's - one is a pastor and one is a judge. A perfect visual of the age-old battle within us of love versus the law.<br />
<br />
Lastly, there is a subplot that takes the main stage many times throughout the book. It is the up and down relationship of Ian Shaw and Sierra Rose. Although this is a great story in its own right, I found it very distracting to the main plot. It was like reading two books at the same time. This is becoming more common in fiction these days and is not a first time for Warren either. My personal preference is to do one at a time.<br />
<br />
However, Susan May Warren wrote a novella titled <a href="http://www.susanmaywarren.com/books/if-ever-i-would-leave-you/" target="_blank">If Ever I Would Leave You</a>. It is a free offering to her readers for signing up for her newsletter. It is my understanding that this story lays the foundation for the plot story of Ian and Sierra. I haven't read it, but looking at the synopsis I think it may have helped me not feel so yanked from the story. Check it out.<br />
<br />
And of course ... book #2, <a href="http://www.susanmaywarren.com/books/rescue-me/" target="_blank">Rescue Me</a> is on its way for January 31, 2017.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(234 , 241 , 241 , 0.4); color: #2b2b2b; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What happens when the rescuer has to be rescued? When a van full of teenagers is lost in the rugged mountains of Montana, it's logical that PEAK Rescue would call out deputy Sam Brooks. Only problem is...he's lost with them. It'll take all the courage, skill and determination for Sam to rescue the wounded, scared teenagers. But when tragedy takes a dark turn, who will rescue Sam?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I definitely recommend Wild Montana Skies to readers who love adventure, romance and strong characters. Stories that grab your heart and take a long time to let go are your thing? This is a perfect match for you.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Tagg writes fun fiction with a deep soul. Amelia and Logan's romance was deep and sweet and heart-tugging. The characters were real and vibrant and captivating. The setting rich and touching. </span><br />

It was entertaining to see how Melissa Tagg wove elements of fiction (her characters) and fact (real curious events in history) to tell a riveting tale. </span><br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.karenwitemeyer.com/book-no-other-will-do.html" target="_blank">No Other Will Do</a> is a Ladies of Harper Station Novel and full of some great lines, laughs and of course some love too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The best part was the laughs. My first clue was the first line on the back of the book. It reads: Men are optional.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #49322e; font-family: "cambria" , "hoefler text" , "liberation serif" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px;">That was the credo Emma Chandler’s suffragette aunts taught her and why she started a successful women’s colony in Harper’s Station, Texas. But when an unknown assailant tries repeatedly to drive the women out, Emma is forced to admit they might need a man after all. One who can fight. And there is only one she trusts enough to ask.</span><br />

<span style="color: #49322e; font-family: "cambria" , "hoefler text" , "liberation serif" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px;">Malachi Shaw has finally earned the respect he's always craved by becoming an explosives expert for the railroad. Yet when Emma’s telegram arrives, he leaves his job behind and rushes to Harper's Station to repay the girl who once saved his life. Only she’s not a girl any longer. She’s a woman with a mind of her own and a smile that makes a man imagine a future he doesn’t deserve.</span><br />
<br style="color: #49322e; font-family: Cambria, "Hoefler Text", "Liberation Serif", Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="color: #49322e; font-family: "cambria" , "hoefler text" , "liberation serif" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px;">As the danger intensifies, old feelings grow and deepen, but Emma and Mal will need more than love to survive.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was my first Witemeyer novel and I was very pleased. I enjoyed her writing and her settings and most of all her great characters. The plot revolves around someone threatening the colony of women, hoping to drive them out. The women at the station don't know who is making the threats and as the threats amp up in severity Emma must reach out for some help. She calls on an old friend she trusts. One who understands her and her beliefs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I loved that the book brought out so many different angles of who could be making the threats. I had no idea who the antagonist was until Witemeyer told me. I love that! Kept me reading.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I enjoyed the slow brewing love story between Emma and Malachi and how it started many years before when they first met (in the prologue, hehehe:D) So much was shared between them without a word. Here's one particular part that got a cheer from me.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;">
"Emma."</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
She snapped her gaze to Malachi at the sound of her name spoken in his commanding tones.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Fetch my rifle and saddlebags from the barn." She started moving for the door as he turned his attention back to the women. "Betty. Grace. Come to the front. No female is going to leave this room until she can properly hold and load a weapon. And the minute the new shipment Miss Adams ordered arrives, we'll begin target practice."</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Emma paused in the doorway, glancing back to catch Mal's eye one more time. Needing him to see her gratitude, her faith in him, her admiration as he single-handedly turned a gaggle of frightened geese into would-be tigresses." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br /></blockquote>
There were so many great parts to this story. I have no negative things to say. A fun read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction with a twist.<br />

<br />
This is a special invite to join me over on a new site I've started. My corner of Faith.<br />
<br />
I am not leaving this blog. Don't worry. I am simply trying out some new things. Today I posted about feeling desperate and done ... and how God can bring hope into your despair.<br />
<br />
Feel free to mosey on over and read it. It is titled <b><a href="https://jodilynnjanz.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/a-call-out-to-the-disappointed-the-desperate-and-the-done/" target="_blank">A call out to the disappointed, the desperate and the done.</a> </b>We will dive into a couple scriptures that bring hope amidst the darkness (Lamentations 3:21 and Habakkuk 3:17-19)<br />
<br />
And just in case you are in the mood for some encouraging tunes ... I have a link to All Sons and Daughters singing Alive.<br />
<br />
Not your cup of tea? No worries. I will be back on here later this week with a new book review, <u>No Other Will Do</u> by Karen Witemeyer.<br />
<br />

Another fun read from Mary Connealy! The Cimarron Legacy Book One is <a href="http://www.bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/no-way-up/348060" target="_blank">No Way Up</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>The Fight for the Cimarron Ranch Has Just Begun!</b><br />When
Cimarron Ranch patriarch Chance Boden is caught in an avalanche, only
the quick actions of hired hand Heath Kincaid save him. Before leaving
by train to receive treatment to save his leg--and possibly his
life--Chance demands that Heath read the patriarch's will and see its
conditions enforced immediately. If Chance's three bickering adult
children, Justin, Sadie, and Cole, don't live and work at the ranch for
an entire year, ownership of the ranch will pass to a despised distant
relative. <br /><br />Before long, however, Heath discovers that the
avalanche may have been intentionally set--and that more danger lurks
ominously. Finding his own future--and a desired future with
Sadie--locked up in saving the Cimarron Ranch, Heath and the Boden
siblings must work together against outside forces that threaten them
all.<br />
<br />
<br />
For those of you who have followed along with some of <a href="http://maryconnealy.com/" target="_blank">Connealy's other books</a>, for instance the Kincaid Brides Series will know Heath Kincaid from book 3, <a href="https://jodijanz.blogspot.ca/2012/10/book-review-over-edge-by-mary-connealy.html" target="_blank">Over the Edge</a>.<br />
<br />
This new series takes place in New Mexico Territory in 1880. Connealy writes with her usual humor and delight to entertain readers. If you've enjoyed her cowboy series in the past you will likely enjoy this one as well.<br />
<br />
However, if this is a new author for you I'd recommend starting with the Kincaid Brides series. This new book felt a little slow and dry for me compared to her others. I struggled my way through to complete the book.<br />
<br />
It was hard to put my finger exactly on the problem. I liked the characters. The setting was intriguing. The writing was fun and engaging. I think it was the tension, or lack thereof, that tripped me up. The story is based on figuring out who is threatening the ranch, yet I couldn't buy in to it enough. There was no compelling urge to find out whodunit. Just my personal opinion.<br />
<br />
Currently on her website, Mary Connealy is offering a <a href="http://maryconnealy.com/" target="_blank">free e-book prequel novella title The Boden Birthright</a>. Why not check that out to inspire and ignite your interest for her new series. Book two in the series, Long Time Gone will be out in February 2017.<br />
<br />
Although this was not a favourite read of mine, I still recommend this author if you like stories with humor and heart and lots of western brouhaha.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Drawing from today's headlines, the thought-provoking sequel to the Christian blockbuster </span><em style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">God's Not Dead</em><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> examines the high cost of taking a stand for religious freedom. Stars Melissa Joan Hart, Jessie Metcalfe, David A. R. White, Sadie Robertson, and the Newsboys.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">When high school history teacher Grace Wesley is asked a question about Jesus in class, her reasoned response lands her in deep trouble. The ensuing court case could expel God from the classroom and the public square once and for all.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">If you didn't have a chance to see <a href="http://godsnotdeadthemovie.com/" target="_blank">God's Not Dead 2</a> in the theaters, you can do so in your own home. It is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital. If you are still not sure, let me tell what I thought of the movie.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I need to begin with this statement ... God's Not Dead 2 is much better than its predecessor. I wrote an <a href="https://jodijanz.blogspot.ca/2014/09/i-know-its-only-september-8th-and-if.html" target="_blank">unofficial review of the first movie</a> that you can read. However the producers of the sequel took some of the issues from the first film and fixed them. Thankfully.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">First, let's address the story line. Following current and real trends of Christian professionals being targeted for their faith, God's Not dead 2 focuses on a high school teacher, Grace who answers a student's question in a history class. The question seems innocent enough, as the student inquires about the non-violence teachings of Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. in comparison to Jesus' teaching in the Bible. The teacher does her best to answer the question as honestly and as generically as she can, despite her firm Christian beliefs. Soon, like a wildfire, news spreads of her mention of scripture in the classroom and everything snowballs from there. The movie moves logically through the process as the teacher decides not to bow down and "confess" she made a mistake by mentioning Jesus. She is assigned a lawyer who admits he drew the shortest straw and no one else wants to touch her case. But on the bright side, he doesn't like to lose. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Soon we see that the lawyer, Tom doesn't share her faith but is sympathetic to her situation. Although he doesn't have a plan, he is determined to believe they have a chance - if the other lawyer screws up. And so the story goes, moving through court testimonies of real life individuals such as <a href="http://leestrobel.com/" target="_blank">Lee Strobel</a> and <a href="http://coldcasechristianity.com/" target="_blank">James Warner Wallace</a> to prove the historical truth of Jesus.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Things look good until the student who asked the question in the first place storms the court room determined not to be silenced any longer and to fight for her favorite teacher. This is where all the threads unravel. Even Tom, the lawyer gives up.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">But, back to the real reason we are here ... God is not dead! Even when all our human efforts fail, He is still at work. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I enjoyed the ending. It wasn't predictable and cheesy. It was moving and satisfying. I won't add any more than that to avoid any spoilers. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The previous movie had me groaning through most of the characters. They were flat and stereotypical. That is not the case this time. The main characters are fleshed out more and respond realistically. Gone are the obvious</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> black and white lines between the good guys versus the bad guys. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">There are some returning characters from the first movie - Pastor Dave and his friend, who this time around play a key role in the plot. We also get to see some widening of Pastor Dave as he has to grapple with his own legal issues. (Be sure to watch through the credits at the end to catch a glimpse of his story line, and what may be a bread crumb for a third installment.) We also see Martin, the college student from the previous movie who converts to Christianity despite his angry and abusive father's threats. In GND2 we see the continuation of his story line and all that it costs him to follow Christ.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Returning also, is Amy the reporter, who in the first movie was determined to destroy the "Christians" in her writings, only to be diagnosed with cancer and then say the sinner's prayer - out of her fear of dying (?). Amy's story continues on and starts out with another unbelievable twist - she is now in remission. At first I groaned. However then I changed my mind. Amy had to grapple with her faith from a different angle - if there is no cancer, does she still need God? That, to me is a very legitimate question. She tags along with the court proceedings to help her find her own answers.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">And of course, we have the Newsboys! Their hit song God's Not Dead closes out the film once again. However we also have a wonderful concert performance of their newest hit, Guilty. Great song!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">So, c</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">heck out God's Not Dead 2 - even if you didn't enjoy the first one. I think it is definitely worth your time. </span><br />

Miracles From Heaven follows the real life story of a young girl, Anna Beam and her family. Anna is diagnosed with a rare digestive track disease. Her family and in particular her mother, Christy Beam fight tirelessly to help find answers for Anna's condition until one day she is miraculously healed after falling from a tree.<br />
<br />
This is a movie of faith and family that challenges you to find the miracles around you. Often times it is in hindsight we see the fingerprints of God on our situations. My favorite scene in the movie is when Christy Beam is explaining to her congregation and to the world about the miracle. There is a small montage of scenes that plays recounting all the places in the journey where a miracle happened.<br />
<br />
Miracles aren't just in the form of healings and visits to heaven. The people we encounter, the opportunities we are given ... these are all miracles.Just look for them.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed this movie. It is very moving - you will probably cry. The scenery is beautiful, the characters are well portrayed, giving a huge nod to Jennifer Garner's exceptional job of the role of mother, Christy Beam.<br />
<br />
A few other characters helped make the movie a delight, including Kylie Rogers who plays the sick daughter, Anna. Queen Latifah joins the cast as Angela, a comic relief waitress the mother and daughter duo meet in Boston. But the most fun for me was the specialist, Dr. Nurvo, played by Eugenio Derbez - a similar character to Patch Adams, but much more family-friendly. All of the acting is superb, there are no weak links.<br />
<br />
Overall, there are no surprises to the plot in this movie if you watched the trailer. However, knowing the ending did not deter from the dramatic tension and wonderfully portrayed issues of faith. This movie isn't preachy - there are no altar call scenes or tug at your heart "accept Jesus now' moments. Instead this movie plays into that all-encompassing question of why. Why does God allow beautiful, vibrant young girls suffer? Why is this happening?<br />
<br />
The story is primarily the mother's journey from a strong faith to a choked out, barely breathing faith and back again. It is a journey worth watching.<br />
<br />
From the family friendly side of things I would agree with the movie's PG rating. The themes tackled in the film are impactful for young viewers. In particular, there are scenes that talk about death and wanting to die. There are invasive medical scenes and a traumatic drawn out scene when a child falls into a hollowed out tree. As well, there is a young girl who dies in the film, even though it isn't seen or known till the end. Be prepared to talk to your young viewers about these topics. Check out Focus on the Family's <a href="http://www.pluggedin.ca/movie-reviews/miracles-from-heaven" target="_blank">plugged in (dot) com</a> review for more specifics.<br />
<br />
Also, there is a <a href="http://www.miraclesfromheavenresources.com/_downloads/MFH_ParentsPastorsGuide.pdf" target="_blank">resource for parents, pastors</a> to facilitate some discussion around the movie themes. There is a section part way through for parents who watch movie without their children but want to discuss it and also questions guided towards parents and kids who watch the movie together. An excellent family resource.<br />
<br />

I recommend this movie!<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>What if you could actually love the life you are living right now?</b></blockquote>
In
life, there is the ideal: fulfilling work, thriving relationships,
financial security. Not to mention an orderly and beautiful home and
children who never misbehave. And then there's reality: frustrations,
illness, feeling overwhelmed and inadequate. We can wait around for our
circumstances to change and in the process miss the goodness right in
front of us. Or we can choose to love our actual lives, right here and
now.<br /><br />In this entertaining and insightful book, Alexandra
Kuykendall chronicles her nine-month experiment to rekindle her love of
her ordinary, actual life. After wiping her calendar as clean as a
mother of four can, Kuykendall focuses on one aspect of her life each
month, searching for ways to more fully enjoy her current season. By
intentionally adding one thing each month that will make her jump for
joy, she provides a practical challenge you can easily replicate in <i>your </i>life.
With humor, poignancy, and plenty of personal stories, she shows how a
few small changes can make this crazy-busy life one of holy contentment.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/loving-my-actual-life/379491" target="_blank">Loving My Actual Life</a> was a fun, easy read. Each chapter is broken down into an area of life that <a href="http://alexandrakuykendall.com/alex/" target="_blank">Alexandra Kuykendall</a> spent a month focusing on with great intention. For example, chapter two is the morning routine and chapter four is health and chapter nine is passions. Once in the chapter she explains the need, the experimented approach and followed by a diary dialogue of the good, the bad and everything in between from that month. The chapters close with what was learned, things that she'll keep in her life after and finally questions for reflection. The end of the book wraps up with thoughts and suggestions to lead the reader in implementing their own experiment. Very valuable.<br />
<br />
It is a great set-up for group study or discussion as well as personal growth. There are also quotes and scriptures throughout.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://alexandrakuykendall.com/alex/" target="_blank">Kuykendall</a> has a lighthearted, companionable voice. Her life feels connectable and real. Even though I am way out of the young children/mothering stage I remember those days well. The beauty often lost in the doubts and fears. The creativity and simplicity often lost in the chaos. The author portrays this well. No matter how diligent she is in her new assignment, somewhere along the way life happens to derail her. A friend is in need. A child is sick. But the key to her progress was having a plan to fall back onto as soon the days straightened out again. I think in our lives that's where we fail. Without an intentional plan we succumb to the waves and torrents of life. That is true of anyone - mother or not. Woman or not.<br />
<br />
Although, I feel it safe to say that the targeted audience for this book is definitely women.<br />
<br />
I found, even though I am not a young mom, there were a lot of truths I could pull into my own life. She challenged me to re-evaluate my relationships, my health and my sense of adventure. There was tremendous value in this book. A definite recommendation. It would make an excellent gift too. The cover is beautiful. The content is light and easy to follow, with great nuggets of depth. And the message is timeless.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have the opportunity to review a video game for young kids. What a different experience from my usual - books and movies. I had to call in reinforcements to help with this one though - my generation ... and my personality ... have me lacking some basic "gaming" skills.<br />
So you get two reviews for the price of one today. Mine and <span style="color: red;">my teenagers</span>. (I colour coded the two so you could keep track of who thought what.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLfDvIY88aFS04NxvaVfwC0IQG8l5DDbS2mgwe_NwS21Q28XmE9QsC5IqG6aIsYdZbO4_6UdH2VeIAzFCN241_TAwT-HBnR4Q85YrYmALOsKIDBUoWBeQwH9hqCsJI9G30XqJFs8Go_7s/s1600/aetherlight+adventure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLfDvIY88aFS04NxvaVfwC0IQG8l5DDbS2mgwe_NwS21Q28XmE9QsC5IqG6aIsYdZbO4_6UdH2VeIAzFCN241_TAwT-HBnR4Q85YrYmALOsKIDBUoWBeQwH9hqCsJI9G30XqJFs8Go_7s/s320/aetherlight+adventure.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The <a href="https://theaetherlight.com/" target="_blank">Aetherlight</a> is an action adventure game that is constructed as a Biblical allegory. Much like the way the Narnia Chronicles have inspired and engaged readers for generations, <a href="http://www.scarletcitystudios.com/" target="_blank">New Zealand Scarlet City Studios</a>, partnered with American Bible Society, is hoping to invite a generation of gamers to interact directly with the Bible and its powerful story.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://I give it a thumbs up." target="_blank">Tim Cleary</a>, an Australian Youth Pastor set out to design a game to bring the scriptures to where the kids were at. Online. Its a new generation our kids are living in and as parents we need to offer them as many opportunities as we can to touch, hear and feel the Living Breathing Word of God. I'm all for that! <br />
<br />
As a parent, that sounds like a great way to use up some of my kids "screen time". My kids are almost all grown up with only one left still at home in high school and two on to college. However, I always felt better when my kids spent time on electronic devices that had more to them than just "playing".<br />
<br />
So, why not let your kids "engage with the Resistance as they begin their immense task of
restarting the Great Engines to drive back the fog and find the Great
Engineer. This adventure will take (them) throughout the entire land of
Aethasia, from No Man’s Landing, through the Snowmoors and Giant Seed
Forest, right to the Ends of the Earth Falls!" (Quote taken from the <a href="http://www.scarletcitystudios.com/" target="_blank">Scarlet City Studio website</a>.)<br />
<br />
From my perspective, the game was complex and confusing to start with. It took me quite some time to figure out how to move and make anything happen on screen. <span style="color: red;">Thankfully, it took my kids all of a split second to recognize it was a point and click game</span>. (If you don't know what that means, ask your kids.)<br />
<br />
However, the creators of the game wanted the kids to be interacting with the content and other users more than that so they blended the point/click experience with an RPG format. This basically means that your child becomes one of the characters in the game and can choose how they interact with the on-screen activities.<br />
<br />
The basic concept seemed to be an adventure set up where your character is given challenges to accomplish. This involves finding items, building useful tools and contraptions, and fighting off the Automatons, the bad-guys army.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Overall, I was frustrated by the experience of the game, constantly thrown in battles while I wanted to be focused on the discovery of missing items. <span style="color: red;">However, once my son took over the keyboard, I realized there was so much more to the adventure. Due to his already competent gaming skills, he knew where to move and how to engage deeper aspects than the obvious. The game came alive. He discovered for me that you could invite others playing the online game into your battles to help you. You could join theirs. You could chat with other players asking for info or help. You could also change your clothing and personalize your player</span>.<br />
<br />
Wow, who knew?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Basically my kids thought the game was fun and interactive. It had a few quirks that slowed down the progress of the players, such as the flee button and the slow transition from world to world. However they didn't feel it would stop them from playing</span>.<br />
<br />
The game is targeted to pre-teen aged kids. This is due to the vocabulary and the violence I imagine. The violence was not extreme for a video game. It had bothered me a bit at first, seeming so unnecessary. <span style="color: red;">My son assured it was tame and fit the story well.</span> As a parent I would just say that it is very cartoonish violence. Your player in involved in a battle with a robot. You swing and thump it with a pipe or shoot it with a gun until it breaks. However, you take turns at hits, allowing the robot then to fire at you or thump you with a weapon. My player took several canon balls to the stomach. That is what I meant by unnecessary. Even a woman in a wheelchair gets thumped by a metal pipe several times. This perhaps was my biggest concern.<br />
<br />
There is a lot of reading involved. The characters give orders through bubble chats. If you have a reluctant or slow reader, a parent might need to sit with them to get the full meaning of the game. However my son, very proficient with games managed to play quite well without reading any of the bubbled information. (Not sure that is a positive??) The reading component is how your child engages with the scriptures. Perhaps if you progress through the game farther than we did you will find other ways to bring the Biblical content in.<br />
<br />
Overall, I would allow my kids to play this game as young kids. It was engaging and entertaining. The content is clean and the chats are protected. There is a parent dashboard allowing the parent to control certain aspects of the playing experience for the child, such as password resets, disabling the chat options and blocking access to the game itself. This is good to know.<br />
<br />
I give Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance a thumbs up! <span style="color: red;">So do my teens. </span><br />

<span style="color: black;">This is not just the story of Christ's death and resurrection, like motion pictures such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Aif1qEB_JU" target="_blank">The Passion of the Christ</a>. It is the story of an unbelieving Roman Soldier tasked with finding the missing body of the Nazarene after his tomb is found empty. This Roman tribune must find the body and prove the resurrection gossip is a hoax. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">Instead of a huge cover-up and scandal this Roman soldier finds the Savior.</span>Ge<br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">First, as my husband commented, it is basically an episode of CSI: Jerusalem. The story begins as Christ is dying on the cross. Clavius, the Roman soldier arrives on scene to verify, much like a detective or coroner arrives on a crime scene. Then he follows protocol (in excess) to avoid any "chance of a body snatch" by the crazy Christ followers. In a couple days when word gets out that stone has been moved from the tomb, the body missing and the Pharisees panicking, Clavius engages in a man-hunt, digging up corpses, interviewing suspects and witnesses and studying the crime scene to find all the answers.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">I really enjoyed the integrity of Clavius, played by Joseph Fiennes. He is portrayed as a valued soldier, high in rank. He is shown to be brutal in his work, but also to have a conscience enough not to enjoy his tasks. He has ambition to move up the ranks of the Roman Army but also states he dreams of "a day with no death".</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">He seems to find the task of hunting done a dead body to be silly. Yet he carries out his duties with loyalty and purpose. As the pressure to find a body - any body - builds, the viewers can see the dilemma building in Clavius. He sees all the questions unanswered yet pointing to the impossible truth of a man rising from the dead. When he is re-assigned, he asks for a few more days to complete his investigation. He needs to follow the loose ends a little longer. When he finally discovers Jesus and his disciples hiding out he is forced to choose. The real truth, as unbelievable as it appears or the safest "truth" to protect the Empire.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">He abandons his post citing that he has seen two conflicting truths that he cannot reconcile. A dead body he verified with his own eyes and a risen body he has seen with his own eyes. At this he decides to follow Jesus' followers. He witnesses the passion of the disciples, a healing done by the hands of Christ and the ability Jesus has to appear and disappear from any spot. Eventually Clavius speaks directly with the Savior and hangs around long enough to see the Ascension.</span><br />
<br />
The movie is compelling in its purpose and scope. The scenery is awe-inspiring and the characters are real to life. This is definitely a movie I would have in my DVD collection.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As of today, the movie Risen is <a href="http://sites.sonypictures.com/risen/discanddigital/" target="_blank">available in digital format</a>. <a href="http://sites.sonypictures.com/risen/discanddigital/" target="_blank">Blu-ray and DVD</a> become available on <b>May 24th, 2016.</b></span><br />
<br />

Sandra Orchard tells her lovely tale in first person POV. That is a personal preference and some people don't like it. I do. I like reading it and I like writing it. However I had some troubles with that in this book. I enjoyed the perspective of Serena - getting in her head - for a while. Unfortunately, as the story progressed I wished I had someone else's perspective of Serena to counter balance my confusion.<br />
<br />
The personality of this plucky FBI agent, sometimes felt over the top. I had a hard time believing she was a legitimate FBI agent. She's a rookie, that much is for sure, but knowing her thoughts and seeing her actions I questioned a lot about her abilities. That made it hard for me to invest in her as the main character.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://sandraorchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Another_Day_Another_Dali-245x388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://sandraorchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Another_Day_Another_Dali-245x388.jpg" height="200" width="126" /></a>Even still, the story was fun and fresh. I loved the title and book cover. Book #2 Another Day, Another Dali coming out in October looks equally exciting with its bright red cover.<br />
<br />
Overall, I liked the concept of the the story and characters better than I enjoyed reading the book. I found myself putting it down after a chapter and leaving it for some time. This made the "chase" of it drag down to a crawl. However, this won't stop me from reading book 2 and giving this author another go.<br />
<br />
One of the enticing aspects of the story is the romance. The author has written Serena to be a beautiful woman who seems to have men falling down around her feet. However, Serena seems dull to the fact. There are two would-be suitors that occupy the pages with her. Number one, Nate, is the Super of her apartment building with a love for tea, movies and a very loose definition of "her" apartment. Bachelor #2 is her hard working, by the book, field training agent, Tanner. Both have fantastic qualities and both are competing to be one whose advances she recognizes first.<br />
<br />
Along with the fun of chasing criminals and dodging advances Serena has to keep up with her family. What a fun and odd bunch. If you've read any other reviews of this book I'm sure you've heard mention of Aunt Martha. A lively character that for me, kept the plot moving more than the art crime suspects. Delightful bunch! Worth reading just for the antics they bring to the page.<br />
<br />
In recap, I would still recommend this book to others, especially if they like mysteries. I plan to read book 2 and see if Serena can win my heart more, as well as find out if #TeamNate or #TeamTanner will win. BTW, the author has set up a <a href="http://sandraorchard.com/vote-for-your-favorite/" target="_blank">reader/fan page to vote for your favorite guy</a> to win Serena's heart. <br />

A review of an awesome movie And <b>a chance to win your own copy</b>. Right here!<br />
<br />
Another fantastic faith based film has hit the market today! It is a thriller with a powerful story of resiliency and the power of truth. This movie offers a message of hope for victims of trauma and for anyone who ever felt alone in their pain. <a href="http://www.wildflowerthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Wildflower</a> shows we are never alone. God's purpose and plan are always at work.<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span> </span><br />

little girl. Her search for peace takes her on a journey that forces
Chloe to confront her past traumas and leads her to cross paths with
Josh, a young man dealing with his own painful loss. Together they find
in each other someone they can trust as they seek to unlock a cold-case
mystery from years before. But with the authorities blocking the way,
Chloe's new-found hope is challenged in this powerful story of faith,
triumph and healing.</span></blockquote>

<br />
I recommend this movie to others. It has a strong cast, a gripping story line, clean plot and a sprinkling of faith. Obviously due to the thrilling nature of the movie, it is not recommended for young kids. However I definitely think teens and adults alike will enjoy it. The <a href="http://www.dove.org/review/11675-wildflower/" target="_blank">Dove Foundation gave it 5 doves out of five</a>!<br />
<br />
The movie tackles some tough issues such as childhood trauma and its after math effects on a life, and even touches on the stigmas of mental illnesses. The characters are portrayed well rounded and bringing life to roles that could easily have become annoying and overly stereotyped. However I truly enjoyed them - especially the two main characters Josh (played by Cody Longo) and Chloe (played by Nathalia Ramos). A quick note on the "thriller" part - I did not find the movie scary at all. It is suspenseful with the young woman experiencing frightening images and unexplained events. And the trauma from her childhood is dealt with very lightly. I would have no concern showing my teens. It is rated PG-13, very appropriately. <a href="https://youtu.be/K0KLHhHOvws" target="_blank">Wildflower trailer available here.</a><br />
<br />
I found, for my liking, the faith part quite light. Some may appreciate this though. There is definitely the appearance that faith is playing a big role in the lives of the characters but it is not heavy-handed or drenching the dialogue. Josh is struggling with his faith, angry at God, when he meets Chloe who has no interest in God - a God who lets bad things happen without a care. Both characters are struggling with the same basic core question of if God can be trusted. At the end as pieces of their lives are starting to come back together Chloe asks a still doubtful Josh, is faith really a part of the healing? And he nods. I won't share anymore as it may become a spoiler.<br />
<br />
Overall a very well made movie, a good lesson and story, clean plot and dialogue and the music is great too! Just a little back stage fun fact for you- the music composer and directors are some very familiar guys from the band Building 429! So enjoy!<br />

And <a href="http://www.laramvanhulzen.com/home.html" target="_blank">Lara Van Hulzen</a>'s last book in her Men of Honor Series is no exception.</span><br />

Walker is a police officer with a past she’d like to stay hidden from.
Staying at her best friend’s cabin in the mountains over Christmas is
just what she needs. However, when a handsome cowboy saunters into her
life, she takes the risk and trusts him with her secrets. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Keith
Scott is a United States Marine, Force Recon. Home for the holidays, he
intends to spend a quiet Christmas with his family. What he doesn’t
plan on is Torie Walker, a woman who mends his heart and makes him want
to love again. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Torie is a familiar character for those who have followed along with Van Hulzen's entire series. She starts out in book 1, <a href="http://jodijanz.blogspot.ca/2015/07/book-review-of-remember-me-by-lara-van.html" target="_blank">Remember Me</a>, and finally gets her happily ever after in book 3. Her tough cop exterior has made her a strong character from the beginning, but in this story we get to see into the darker corners of her soul as she faces an old enemy - a very personal one. It was fascinating to see the two polar opposites of strong and weak in this amazing woman. Van Hulzen did a great job of making all her sides believable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Keith was introduced in book 2, <a href="http://jodijanz.blogspot.ca/2015/07/book-review-of-get-to-me-by-lara-van.html" target="_blank">Get To Me</a>. He came on the pages as a brooding and maybe broken soldier. It was fun to open up that package as I read through Rescue Me. Keith, as all of us, has many facets to his character. Both his pain and his joys are deep and three-dimensional. He was a fantastic hero.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, I love this series. A great and fun read for anyone who likes <a href="http://www.laramvanhulzen.com/home.html" target="_blank">romance with a twist of faith.</a> I found book three had a much slower pace than the first two books that clipped along with great tension. It wasn't a problem for me as I was well invested in the characters by that point. Perhaps this one is best read as a series. However, the story line doesn't need the previous ones to be understandable. Despite the slower pace, I enjoyed it. Rescue Me holds you close enough to keep you reading to find out more about the "fear" in our strong and ever-capable Torie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The setting was fabulous - a cabin in the mountains at Christmas! Great fun. The supporting characters were intriguing and added a sense of balance to Keith's personality. There is even a glimpse of the Newlyweds, Aimee and Dane.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall a good story, a fun, heart-warming romance and a great read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks to the author for a chance to review this book for free in exchange for my honest opin<span style="font-family: inherit;">ion. Check it out!</span></span><br />

"Dr. Jackie Roese was the first woman preacher in the history of Irving Bible Church, preaching her first sermon from the pulpit in 2008 to a packed house of 2250 attendees, and one local Dallas news crew. It was an event that caused ripples throughout conservative evangelicalism, where it is commonly taught that a woman's role in the church (and home) is submissive to a man, and the very idea of a woman teaching a man <i>anything</i> is sinful.</blockquote>

Women in the Church</i>, </a>Dr Roese shares her personal journey to discovering a new narrative for women in the church (one that her own church elders came to support); one that values women and fearlessly develops and promotes the giftings of,what she calls, "lime green" women." (Media release)</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
<br />
First of all let's get this out in the open ... this is NOT a book saying women should be preaching from every pulpit. That is not the mission Roese is going for. Instead the focus is on her story alone. After all not all women are created the same. <br />
<br />
Jackie describes women in colors. Throughout evangelical history the church expects women to be "light pink". And she writes, <span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">"we need light pink ladies who remind us that God is peace and beauty. But we also need every color, every shade of color and colors we haven't even seen --yet-- to remind us of everything else God is".</span><br />
<br />
In her own description she has never been pink and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't become pink. And even if she could ... wouldn't that be denying who God created her to be?<br />
<br />
Her story is inspiring and heart-tugging. She's a brave woman.<br />
<br />
It's important to point out for those skeptics that her fight has never been for the "right" to preach. Her fight has been to end injustice and inequality for women that transcends the globe. She talks many times about paving a new path for girls like her own daughter, Madison.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">"Before walking up to the stage, I turned to my daughter to let her know that just like Jill (Briscoe) had chopped a few vines, so too was I about to chop a few to forge a path for her generation. She knew I meant something beyond a woman preaching from the pulpit. Madison knew I believed God was moving - globally - to address the gender injustice of women. Whether it was covert gender injustice like what goes on in the American church, or overt gender injustice like what we see in sex trafficking or in female genital mutilation, or the myriad other forms of female oppression, God was calling out what happens to his women and girls around the world."</span> </blockquote>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On a personal note, <span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span> was intrigued by the book and wanted to read it because <span style="font-family: inherit;">my </span>little, rural <span style="font-family: inherit;">E</span>vangelical church just went through a <span style="font-family: inherit;">time of intense study on the role of women in the church because a woman in our congregation asked if she could be an elder. It was like a tidal wave! Suddenly we were all graspin<span style="font-family: inherit;">g for something we could hold onto all while trying to hold our breath. We, as a majority, suddenly realized we believed something strongly but <span style="font-family: inherit;">very few of us could verbalize why. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After a<span style="font-family: inherit;">n eight week study we still <span style="font-family: inherit;">had no <span style="font-family: inherit;">definitive</span> answer to the question if a woman could be an elder but we had an immensely deeper understanding of all the opposing sides. And we had eliminated the <span style="font-family: inherit;">previous and prevailing answer of "because that's the ways we've always done it<span style="font-family: inherit;">".</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">O</span></span>ne thing that stood out <span style="font-family: inherit;">to me the most in our little attempt to decip<span style="font-family: inherit;">her God's plan was those who were "afraid" left the group. They stopped coming. They stopped studying. All beca<span style="font-family: inherit;">use of fear.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">God warns us about fear. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Then check out this new book from Kelsey and Kyle Kupecky.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<a href="http://www.kyleandkelsey.com/" target="_blank">The Chase</a>.</blockquote>
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>"A must-read for single girls looking for a God-honoring relationship!" - </i>Rebecca St. James; Grammy and Dove Award-winning recording artist and author of <i>One Last Thing.</i></span><br />
<i> </i> <br />
It is a fun read for young girls all the way up to the not-so-young. I would not recommend for girls younger than twelve or thirteen personally. However it would depend on where their heart is. If it's all about chasing guys ... then get it now!<br />
<br />
Kelsey is the daughter of well-known Christian fiction author <a href="http://www.karenkingsbury.com/" target="_blank">Karen Kingsbury</a>. She grew up longing for her own "love story". And she got it. In her first ever book, Kelsey tells about learning to focus on God ... not on who the next guy in her life could be. That coupled with some great teaching from her parents set the stage for her to anticipate God's guy for her fairy tale.<br />
<br />
Kyle Kupecky is a Christian recording artist. He also had a great stage set for him about looking forward to a future written by God's hand and not his own. <br />
<br />
Together this young couple writes a book, from their hearts, to young girls everywhere about chasing after the right Thing. The book is a light and easy read filled with tons of personal stories. Both Kelsey and Kyle give their thoughts - a unique aspect for girls everywhere to have some insight in a guy's heart and mind in regards to dating and girls. Kelsey imparts great wisdom for girls and young women everywhere, while Kyle brings in scripture and a guy's thoughts. The book isn't your typical "save yourself till marriage" message. This is a nice detour down a little broader path. It's about where to focus your heart. Because if you focus it on God, He will take care of the rest. So, eyes on Him, not on the boys in your math class and let God write your "Happily Ever After".<br />
<br />
Kyle and Kelsey give some very compelling stories and evidence that God had plans for them back before they even began dreaming of "the one". A very cool story to tell. I already have a few young girls in my life that would benefit from this book and message.<br />
<br />
Overall, I enjoyed this book. I do however have one comment to add that I hope will give insight but not deter you from the valuable piece that this book truly is. I wanted to read this book with my daughter, who is turning twenty. She was in a dating relationship and we wanted to find a book that would help steer her heart in the right direction. I was thankful I read it first. There is nothing inappropriate in this book - or anything you wouldn't want your daughters or granddaughters to read, it is just a very different take than my daughter can relate to. See, she is in college and in her very <u>first</u> dating experience. Kyle and Kelsey tell a wonderful story of how God orchestrated their lives to come together, but neither of them refrained from dating through high school. The entire book is filled with stories of the guys and girls who went wrong. Just not the kind of thing that is helpful for my daughter at this time.<br />
<br />
So, my advice ... judge where the girl in your life is at. If she is chasing guys and not God then this is a fantastic read. Definitely. No doubt about it. However, for girls like my daughter - it is all good information and excellent advice, but the stories of dates gone wrong and guys not worth it wasn't quite what we were looking for.<br />
<br />
What my daughter <b>can</b> take away from this book is that God is a far better author for our love stories that we can ever be. So, wait. Rest. And most of all chase after His heart and let him take care of yours.<br />

Here is some other fun links for you to check out. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://youtu.be/Ue5qSedYiNM" target="_blank">Karen Kingsbury's Bailey Flanagan series used Kyle and Kelsey for the video book trailer for book 3, Longing</a>. :) That is alos Anthem Lights song, Can't Get Over You plays in the background. (A Christian band Kyle used to be a part of.) :D<br />
<br />

<br />
A truly amazing song for a young girl chasing after boys - <a href="https://youtu.be/dgRFAY7gEmM" target="_blank">Hide Your Love Away by Anthem Lights Lyric video</a>. Buy this song for her! And show her this video - <a href="https://youtu.be/dhAHIuZbM-A" target="_blank">Anthem Lights - Behind the Song</a> because she is worth waiting for!<br />
<br />
I have so many more valuable things to share with a girl in your life that needs to know she is precious and worth saving her whole self - heart and body - for a true love that will last. If you want more contact me. This is a passion close to my heart. I wished someone would have told me that simple line when I was chasing after all the wrong things. Tell someone today ... you are worth waiting for.<br />

By the way ... even if you don't read the rest of this post, please
scroll down to the bottom and read the bolded words - all profits from
this movie go to charity!!</blockquote>
I absolutely love that Hollywood is so on board making movies about faith. I truly hope this isn't just a passing fad. <br />
<br />
I remember a few years back, somewhere on this blog encouraging my readers to go out and support Christian movies AT the theaters. Especially opening weekend ... because that's where Hollywood counts the interested dollars. And it has worked. (Not because of me.) But somewhere along the line the message was sent that there is a market for family-friendly, faith-building movies. Now it seems there are so many options, it is impossible to hit them all. At least for me who lives an hour away from the closest participating theater.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img class="irc_mi" height="167" src="http://90minutesinheaventhemovie.com/_images/fb_main.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="320" /> </div>
<br />
But I managed to make it to the theaters to watch <a href="http://www.90minutesinheaven.com/" target="_blank">90 Minutes in a Heaven</a>. This is an inspiring story of hope, family and community based on the true events of Don Piper, a Baptist minister. Those true events look like this:<br />
<ul>
<li>Pastor Don died in a car accident </li>
<li>He was left at the scene under a tarp unattended to for 90 minutes as the road crews cleared the scene </li>
<li>Another Pastor waiting in his car behind the accident scene felt prompted by God to pray for the dead man; he crawled into the wreck to pray and sing over the lifeless, damaged body</li>
<li>Don then, pronounced dead 90 minutes earlier responds to the man's prayers and starts to sing along. </li>
</ul>
That is the basic story plot. However that is not actually what the movie is about. And here is where the conflicting reviews may come in. While that dead body lay on earth another 90 minutes, Don actually visited Heaven. And when the man prompted by the Spirit prayed for Don in the crumpled up car on the road, Don was yanked from Paradise back to Earth to endure months and years of unimaginable pain in recovery.<br />
<br />
Check out the<a href="http://www.90minutesinheaven.com/videos/" target="_blank"> trailer</a>.<br />
<br />
This movie isn't about whether or not heaven is real - we've done that one already. This movie is about a man trying to recover physically when all he wants to do is be dead -- and in heaven -- again.<br />
<br />
But obviously God wasn't finished with Don Piper yet. The real life Don is still alive and well and living out his calling of bringing hope to people who seemed to have lost theirs. He was actively involved with the making of the film and seems to have made a life long friendship with the actor who portrayed him. He still vividly remembers his time in Heaven and can't wait to return. However he has accepted his calling here, on earth and has embraced it whole-heartedly.<br />

style="height: 179px; margin-top: 0px; width: 117px;" width="130" /></a>I read the book Piper wrote in 2004. It was a fascinating story wrapped up in pages of anguish. Piper was a very angry man for a long time. The book itself covered very little of the heaven experience and endless pages of the recovery. That is what you will find in the movie as well.<br />
<br />
I am not knocking the experience of his recovery. It was grueling. Thirteen months confined to a hospital bed. Thirty-four surgeries. And on and on it goes. Not to mention adding in the personal, emotional agony of not wanting to be alive at all; of seeing Heaven and then being ripped from its splendor. I get it. But I needed to see more than that in a two hour and one minute long movie. I needed more of the grace side of the story. I needed more of the Jesus I believe in.<br />
<br />
It seemed like the greatest lesson Piper learned (from the movie perspective) was to let others into his pain. To allow someone to minister to him, instead of the other way around. Great lesson ... but where is Jesus?<br />
<br />
It seemed the greatest lesson the movie wants you to take home with you is God still answers prayers. And hope is alive. Great lesson ... but where is Jesus? <br />
<br />
The movie I saw on the screen was moving, powerful and inspiring ... just not in the way I would hope a faith based film would be. And maybe that is where interpretation comes in. Don Piper didn't write the screenplay. It was written by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0689187/" target="_blank">Michael Polish</a>. And I can say nothing to Polish's faith or understanding of the gospel. (Again, I will state that there is nothing wrong with the screenplay or making of the film. It is well done ... it just depends what you were hoping to find in it).<br />

style="height: 173px; margin-top: 0px; width: 260px;" width="200" /></a>The main character of Don Piper is played by Hayden Christensen, most well-known for his role as Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars episodes II and III. I think he did a great job of a very difficult role. The movie is filled with a lot of slow moving and anguishing traumatic scenes. I say traumatic instead of dramatic on purpose. We, as watchers clearly see his pain and suffering. Also, there is a bit of a personal voice over as Piper/Christensen shares a little of what he was feeling inside. However it translated on screen as a hurting, angry man. Period.<br />
<br />
One of the final scenes in the movie we get to see Piper accept the calling of his experience and walk across a room to encourage a young man enduring the same painful bone "fixator" experience. <br />
<br />
And yet, I still walked away from this movie with a feeling of "yeah that's nice, but so what?"<br />
<br />
As a believer, excited to see Hollywood take on faith films I find myself caught in a conundrum. I don't agree with hitting people over the head with my three inch thick Bible. But I also don't agree with showing them any kind of faith that is lacking the Saviour.<br />
<br />
In two hours of very fine movie watching I never once met Piper's Jesus. I saw endless prayer and huge faith. I saw a community of believers rallying around a hurting family. I saw tremendous strength in an impossible situation. But I never saw Jesus.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid that unbelievers could walk away with another round of "why's" to fuel their unbelief. "Why" would a loving God send a man away from Heaven to endure excruciating pain on earth? Isn't God supposed to be good?<br />
<br />
So, watch the movie, you ask?<br />
<ul>
<li>Yes. I think the movie is well done. The story is inspiring. </li>
</ul>
Read the book?<br />
<ul>
<li>Yes. An even stronger yes. You need to fully understand the anguish Piper went through to come to terms with returning to this world. The books does a better job of this than the movie.</li>
</ul>
Use this as a opportunity to share my faith with my friends and co-workers?<br />
<ul>
<li>Nope. Sorry. Tell them instead of what JESUS did in your life, even if it isn't as dramatic as Piper's life.</li>
</ul>
My next step ... I am still intrigued by the overwhelming experience Don Piper endured. Following the release of the movie, Eva Piper's side of the story emerges with a new book titled <a href="http://evapiper.com/" target="_blank">A Walk Through the Darkness</a>. I think I will check this one out.<br />

to face with a killer. As the only witness to a crime, she falls into a
deadly situation and is in need of police protection.</span><br />

good?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Book Two in the <a href="http://www.laramvanhulzen.com/books/" target="_blank">Men of Honor Series</a>, titled Get To Me was so much fun. <a href="http://www.laramvanhulzen.com/" target="_blank">Lara Van Hulzen</a>'s characters were so much fun to follow around and it was hard to close the book. It all revved up quickly in a fiery fun first chapter. If you can make to the end of page 18 you are hooked. I was.<br />
<br />
Get To Me brings out the stories behind Dane and Aimee. Dane is the cop partner to Ben from story one. Aimee is the sister to Tess from story one as well. However, that's all the connection necessary to book one. From there on Get To Me can stand alone.<br />
<br />
The romance is more intense in this story. And a tad spicier too. That may be more due to the personalities in the story. Aimee is a red head full of life. In fact, she is described by Dane as "sunrise mixed with fire". Her spunk leaps off of every page. Dane seemed a cool, levelheaded, take life a step at a time kind of guy in
book one. But apparently he isn’t when he has feelings for a woman. And he
definitely has strong feelings for Aimee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lara Van Hulzen has a talent. I couldn't put my finger on it fully in book one but it was there page after page again in book two. I'm still struggling to put words to it. For book one, Remember Me, I worded it like this:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The suspense plot of the story takes a bit to get going, but I never
felt bored or impatient. There was a lot to sort out between the two
characters and the author did a great job of keeping the story
entertaining. Once the suspense plot of the story gets into action, the
reader is in for a ride." <a href="http://jodijanz.blogspot.ca/2015/07/book-review-of-remember-me-by-lara-van.html" target="_blank">Book Review of Remember Me</a>. </blockquote>
Get To Me dives head strong into the action thread of the plot by chapter 3. From there on the story is moving along a white water ride to the end. Yet Van Hulzen has a knack for slowing everything down just enough to develop the characters and their inner stories. I think that is a writing gift. Anytime you slow down the plot you risk losing your reader. But she never lost me. Not once!<br />
<br />
As the story charges to the end, a new character is introduced. Keith, is Dane's brother. Massive in size and also in "broodiness", he enters the story and immediately sparks fly between him and Torie, Aimee's roommate and friend. Excellent set up for book 3!<br />
<br />
Overall, the story is alive and vibrant with bright, interesting characters. The tension is strong with suspense and romance. Again, as in book one, I felt the ending came abruptly with a quick resolution leaving me feeling a little jolted. However the ending is good; realistic and entertaining. Obviously this is not by mistake and more of the stylistic voice of the author.<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to book three (I think it's titled Rescue Me) to be released later this year I believe. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, check out <a href="http://www.laramvanhulzen.com/" target="_blank">Lara's website</a>, her <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8897881.Lara_Van_Hulzen" target="_blank">goodreads author page</a> and her book!

</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">How exciting is it when you discover a new author? I think it's fun! And even better when you really like them!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I was asked to review a book from an author I had never heard of before. But she she's not a debut author. So graciously the author offered me both book 1 and 2 from her current series. And I devoured them both.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Lara Van Hulzen may not be a new name to you, but if she is ... read on! Her tagline is Romance with a Twist of Faith and she definitely delivers.<br />
<br />
Book One in Van Hulzen's Men of Honor series is titled Remember Me. It is a fast moving, twisting tale of lost love, redemption and renewal in God's economy.<br />
<br />
Publisher's blurb:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><b>Detective Ben Russo is in trouble.</b></i></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><b>He just can’t remember why.</b></i></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When a car accident lands Ben in the hospital, he can’t recall
anything about his life. What he does know is he’s enchanted by a tiny
nurse named Tess, but can’t shake the feeling they’re both in danger.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After being left at the altar, Tess Jansenn moves to a new town and
starts over. When her ex-fiancé, Ben, shows up in the ER where she works
with no memory of her, she must decide – tell Ben who he is or let him
remember on his own.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Can Tess forgive and forget what drove them apart, and when Ben
remembers, will the consequences of his choices make it too late for
love?</span></blockquote>
<br />
This story was fascinating to me from the start. Tess is thrown into such a tail-spin from page two on. The action and tension picks up instantly and moves you quickly through the entire story.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the characters immensely. Tess, although shaken by being left at the alter is confident and capable. She is a hard-working nurse, her faith in God is strong and she is surrounded by a tight-knit support system. All of that make the story believable as she tries to sort out what to do with this "lumberjack-of-a-man" who just tromped unknowingly back into her life ... and heart.<br />
<br />
The suspense plot of the story takes a bit to get going, but I never felt bored or impatient. There was a lot to sort out between the two characters and the author did a great job of keeping the story entertaining. Once the suspense plot of the story gets into action, the reader is in for a ride.<br />
<br />
The romance of the book is strong and compelling. Even though the reader should dislike Ben for ditching Tess at the alter, I didn't. I rooted for him from almost page one. I loved that there wasn't open hostility between the two characters - as Tess knew Ben didn't know who she was there was no point in being angry towards him.<br />
<br />
The secondary characters were lovely as well. Tess's friends that walk beside her through the entire ordeal are well-rounded and fun characters. As a prequel maybe Ms. Van Hulzen could share with the readers their love story. :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, a very nice lead into story number two in the series, as both main characters reach out to other family and friends to help solve the storyline. Once Ben remembers who he is he involves his police partner Dane in trying to keep Tess safe. And Tess reaches out to her vibrant and lively sister Aimee. Fireworks fly instantly. However this happens quite late in the story so not to distract from the current love story. It sure was a fun addition though.<br />
<br />
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this story. My only disappointment was that the story wrapped up super quickly. The tension and suspense is high throughout and then it was suddenly over and resolved. That felt a little off to me. But in the end it didn't deter my positive ratings!<br />
<br />
That's all for Book One. Stay tuned for book two review to follow right away. However, if you're new to the name Lara Van Hulzen, take a moment to visit her.

exercise his Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely
determined, and afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake
pairs her with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in
results, hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion's reluctance
to run.<br /><br />Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different
adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them
together. Against Jake's will, Lyndie's sparkling, optimistic
personality begins to tear down the walls he's built around his heart. A
glimmer of the hope he'd thought he'd lost returns, but fears and
regrets still plague him. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she
deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend?</blockquote>
There is so much to say about this lovely book. In my mind it reaches out to so many different reader-types. But before we dig too deep I have to say I love the cover! And then I read the Prologue and loved it!! Favorite line that only makes full sense in context of the entire story : "That was his job, to keep her safe. And that's what he would do. She was his favorite person."<br />
<br />
Now ... let's get to the (really) good stuff.<br />
<br />
First of all it is a story of love, hope and redemption. Jake Porter is one wounded guy! And he has pretty much committed his life to staying away from people, happiness and God. Horses he can deal with. Everything else- including his loving family- should be treated with much caution. I have to admit I am a sucker for a wounded soul. Especially when that wounded soul is on God's radar and He isn't backing down. This part of the plot was fantastic. Wade delves deep into the issue of PTSD and what war has done to so many fine young men. At one point in the story, the heroine's mother, a counsellor, tells Lyndie that Jake's condition isn't curable. But that doesn't stop God (and Becky Wade) from infusing hope into every crevice possible. Loved it!<br />
<br />
Next, this story is a romance. Whoa! Cover your eyes ... or ears ... or don't. But be prepared for some spice. I can remember being a tad shocked reading Wade's first book <a href="http://jodijanz.blogspot.ca/2012/07/book-review-my-stubborn-heart-by-becky.html" target="_blank">My Stubborn Heart</a> when the main characters started commenting on her "boobs". Can you say that in Christian Fiction? Yet in context of the story it felt real and very life-like. So I moved on.<br />
<br />
Now, after several more Wade stories under my belt I still l<b>ove the authenticity and realness</b> she gives her stories and characters. But I was also caught off guard with her latest shocker. "Bedroom eyes" Will. A secondary character who I'm hoping will be the main character in the future. As you can tell by now, I read almost exclusively Christian Fiction. (Otherwise those words wouldn't snag me.) So, this is my one warning to potential readers. <i>There is <b>no</b> explicit information in this book, nor did I find it uncomfortable or inappropriate</i>. However, if there is a line in the sand for you on what you want (or don't want) in your fiction, be aware. Becky Wade is wonderful at bringing to life a fact of romantic life that sometimes is overlooked in Christian fiction. Passion and attraction are real and there is a way to write it with modesty and truth. (And spice!) Fans of <a href="http://www.julielessman.com/" target="_blank">Julie Lessman</a> will know what I mean here. If there was an award for kissing scenes - I'd give it to Becky Wade ... or Jake Porter ("Tall, Dark and Brooding"), however you want to see that one. Phew! Moving on ...<br />
<br />
Next this story tackles the issue of disabilities and gifts. There is a sweet sub-plot moving throughout the story that adds such depth and character to the main story line. And I love how Wade made this thread work on both sides of the characters and mirror the main plot. Fantastic!<br />
<br />
First we have Mollie, Lyndie's younger sister who is non-verbal and blind suffering with cerebral palsy. But Lyndie believes God gave her sister the power to heal others. Then we also have the horse, Silver Leaf, a horse with potential that only a few can see. This raises the complex topic of God's grace and His healing hand. Why would God not heal Mollie, but use her to heal others? And why would a horse that can't or won't win any horse races be useful to anyone? And why would God take a broken, wounded man and bless him with an optimistic, life-breathing woman that won't give up?<br />
<br />
There are so many more aspects to this book but I realized how long this blog post has gotten already.<br />
<br />
Bottom line: this is an interesting, thought-provoking, heart-stirring and blood-pumping good novel. Go get yourself a copy. If you're not sure yet, Becky Wade has provided a <a href="http://www.beckywade.com/my_books.html" target="_blank">free excerpt on her website</a>.

I remember so clearly the early days of each of my babies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Baby #1. I had high hopes. Not just for them but more so for me. I'm gonna be a good mom and do all the things good moms do. I had a list.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then came baby number two and dressed in tears I spoke a new promise ... "I'm gonna do better this time. I'm gonna <b>try</b> to get it right with <i>this </i>baby."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then came baby number three. The words were there, underneath a suffocating cloak of shame. I was too burdened to speak them out loud because I had failed. Not once but twice. Dare I <b>try</b> again?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://assets.bakerpublishinggroup.com/processed/books/covers/listing/9780801016677.jpg?1415810876" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cover Art" border="0" height="200" src="http://assets.bakerpublishinggroup.com/processed/books/covers/listing/9780801016677.jpg?1415810876" width="129" /></a>Wow! If only I knew better back then what God is teaching me now. He never wanted good. He wanted surrendered. He wanted me ... covered in His grace. He doesn't want me to <b>try </b>so much and so hard. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Christine Hoover's new book From Good to Grace is an exceptional book on exactly that. God never asked for us to be good enough. We can't. We won't ever be. And wishing for it only destroys His true purpose for us. He only wants us ... dripping in His grace.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Do you struggle with wanting to do better? Wishing for more energy so you could accomplish more? Praying for a second chance so this time you could get it right?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stop right there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You are living in what Christine describes as the "Goodness Gospel". That was never where God wanted you to be. Striving for that Gold Star or that pat on the back. That sweet "You did great" smile. Do enough. Be enough. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stop. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is not the gospel of our Lord and Savior. Christine reminds us, "we aren't enough, but God has made us enough by his grace." </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a wonderfully enchanting manner, Christine uses examples from her own life as a mother, pastor's wife and child of God to impart to us the importance of recognizing the false gospel in our lives. She dives into scripture with the reader to point out the areas that we "try" when we should just lean in instead.</div>

In the process, we find ourselves living by a lesser gospel: the gospel of goodness. It's a gospel without grace, and in the end, it's good for nothing.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.0000610351563px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.0000610351563px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.0000610351563px;">With compelling illustrations from her own life and from Scripture, Christine Hoover helps you start asking, "What does God want </span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.0000610351563px;">for</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.0000610351563px;"> me?" before asking, "What does God want </span><i style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.0000610351563px;">from</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.0000610351563px;"> me?"

A definite keeper. I recommend this book for any women, young or old, as an individual or a group study (discussion guide included). Even if you don't see yourself in the description of the book, you probably know a woman who does.<br />
