review
 

The Restoration by Wanda Brunstetter continues in the tradition of all her stories. It contains everything you need to have a great read, romance, a little intrigue, personal growth and a faith building message. Once you start reading it you will not want to put it down.As with her other books I found the author's ability to weave a story that was so realistic I lost myself in the tale, following as an unseen extra. How many times in real life have I stumbled through a task to success. Wanda Burnstetter's down to earth style of writing made the story come alive to this reader. There are no limits to God's plan for your life and this story re-enforces that truth to the reader.


Wanda Burnstetter has done it again by developing characters that are realistic and easy to identify with. Through their personal growth and adventure the characters force the reader to look at their own life choices and grow. I found it very easy to identify with the characters and follow along their individual storylines.


I really enjoyed The Restoration by Wanda Burnstetter and I highly recommend this book to all readers.

review	Boomerang: The Return of the Prodigal Son by Britt Rickey is the story of, in the author’s words: “A wayward son. A broken father. An angry brother. A story for today.” It is a great study of God’s unending love taken from the story of the prodigal son out of the Bible. The author did an excellent job of breaking the story down into its individual segments and analyzing each. He was able to relate each to everyday situations and the personal needs of modern day life. I especially like how the author related his own personal life events with the story. This added another level of realism to the life application. Britt Rickey’s style of writing made it easy to follow the story and various sub-themes in the text. He brought the story down to my level and comfort zone. This helped me personalize the story and apply it to my life. I really enjoyed reading Boomerang: The Return of the Prodigal Son and highly recommend it to all readers. Everyone will find some life application in this book.     Click here to buy your copy today from Amazon.com

review	“The Castors of Giza” by Chris Hambleton blew me away. At first I thought it was just another good book about ancient Egypt but the more I read the harder it became to put down. I was totally captured in the story. The author did an excellent job of tying the various storylines together.  What started out as a story about the building of the Great Pyramid took on new meaning when the author brought Abram and Sarai and the Biblical story of their trip to Egypt into the story. I love when an author is able tell an Old Testament story and make it real and at the same time stay true to the original Bible text. Chris Hambleton did an excellent job of this. Plus, there is a surprise biblical twist I won’t tell. The characters he added to the story were well developed and believable. I found it easy to join them as an extra and follow along, getting lost in the story. I totally enjoyed reading “The Castors of Giza” by Chris Hambleton. I highly recommend this book.

review	“Journaling with Jesus: How to Draw Closer to God” by Carol Round is an excellent book and study guide on the benefits and “how to’s” of journaling. The book is well developed and laid out in a very logical and easy to understand way. The author’s writing style makes it easy to follow and easy to get into the book. The book is written primarily to a female audience, but I found the book very informative and helpful. She makes it clear that the life applications of journaling is just as applicable to a man.  I have found it very useful in my spiritual life. I highly recommend “Journaling with Jesus: How to Draw Closer to God” by Carol Round to all readers who want a closer walk with God.

review	Like most readers of the Bible I love the Psalms for both pleasure and especially for inspiration in periods of trail. Bob Saffrin’s book, “Psalms: The Sunrise of Hope” is an excellent study and guide to some of the best Psalms. The author’s insight helps bring the psalmist words to life and added life application examples, making it easy to relate to my life. I have always been taught to use the Bible to explain and define the Bible. Bob Saffrin does this as he provides insight to the heart and soul of the psalmist. He uses other scriptures to interrupt the true meaning of the psalm. I found “Psalms: The Sunrise of Hope” to be very uplifting and informing. I really enjoyed this book and Bible study. I highly recommend “Psalms: Sunrise of Hope” by Bob Saffrin to all ages.
