Answers to the Most Important Questions About the End Times by Dr. John Hart




In this book, Dr. Hart has taken common questions about End Times and answered them according to his understanding of the scriptures. Eschatology is on everyone’s mind these days as the signs seem to be coming thick and fast. I appreciated the way he broke this down so you could skip to the part you want the most immediate answer to or just read it cover to cover to get a feel for the entire subject. This is a deep subject and there is a lot to be learned about it. It is not always easy for the average person to dig this all out for themselves and many people rely on other peoples’ research and insight to supplement what they have gleaned from the scriptures. I found this book very helpful and a good addition to the other books on this subject that I have in my library. I highly recommend this book to anyone who might have questions and would like to be directed to where the answers can be found in the scriptures.



I received this book from Bethany House in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The Domino Effect by Davis Bunn






This is a timely and intriguing story. It involves Esther Larson, a risk analyst at one of the U.S.’s largest banking institutions. She is a genius and has an affinity for mathematics. She has analyzed the current financial system and the global effects of the methods the major players are using. She knows that the bubble is about to burst and she has figured out how it will happen and is watching for signs of it coming down. She turns away from loyalty to the crooked bankers and dedicates her time to warning the public and devising ways they can protect themselves. Danger is part of the process because obviously the major players don’t want to be exposed. I can’t say I understood all the financial / economy talk but I have heard for years that we are headed for a major crash globally and that makes this story timely.


I loved the characters in this book. They all had real problems, real feelings, real relationships with God and drew the reader into their lives.

Catching Heat by Janice Cantore


This is the third and final installment in the Cold Case Justice series. Abby Hart (Detective) and Luke Murphy (PI) and a couple of other professionals are part of the new Cold Case team. In this book they are looking for the murderer of a co-ed whose case was never solved. While they are in the area they are also looking for clues to solve the case closest to Luke and Abby’s hearts. Luke’s Uncle and both of Abby’s parents were murdered years earlier and Abby suspects that the governor’s wife may have had something to do with it. This book keeps you on your toes from cover to cover.


I really enjoy Janice Cantore’s characters and all of her criminal justice books. She has a lot of expertise in this area and her research is excellent. Add to that the fact that the characters are likable and walking their Christian convictions as an integral part of their life or searching for their worldview in the course of the story.


I received this book from Tyndale in exchange for a fair and honest review. Quite frankly, I would have bought it at the first opportunity anyway since I have enjoyed every one of Janice Cantore’s books I’ve read and the fact that I was waiting for this conclusion to this series.

Gratitude -- A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal



Adult coloring! Fun! This coloring journal has a cover like a toddler’s board book but regular pages inside. Each page has a place for journaling and illustrations that you can color. It has prayers, Bible verses and journaling pages. For instance two facing pages say “never, never, never give up!”, followed by a prayer and a scripture. The facing page says “he never changes” and has lines for journaling. All around the two pages are black and white drawings for you to color any way you want to.


Once you finish this book it will be a keepsake. You will want to go back and look at it over and over and your kids and grandkids will think it’s a cool keepsake someday.


I received a free copy of this from Tyndale in exchange for a review.

365 Pocket Morning Prayers




This is a great devotional book with a page for each day of the year. I received this book from Tyndale House in exchange for a review. Here’s an example of one day: Day 103 – A prayer about overconfidence (Trusting My Leader) It’s all about trusting the Lord and not yourself. There is a short essay and then two related scriptures: Psalm 138:8 and Proverbs 20:24.


This is a nice little book and is a good size to tuck into your purse or briefcase and take along with you or you can leave it in your nightstand for easy reference during your quiet time. It gives you something to think about each day.
