    This book tells the story of "eight women in the underground church and their stories of costly faith". Several lost everything. And I mean EVERY THING! Family (parents, sibling) and including their own children and spouse.

    As I was reading I kept thinking, "How do you get past some these losses?" I wondered if I was putting enough faith in God to take as firm a stand as these eight women did? Could I receive word that my husband and two sons were killed by anti-Christian groups, and they were burned alive? Immediately she praised God and offered forgiveness to those responsible.

    This book left me with re-dedicating my life to the Lord, and praying for faith to endure at any level.

    I am placing this book close to my Bible. I can see myself reading this, just to reassure myself that whatever I am going through, I can praise the Lord as these women did.

I can only give this book...

...Five Stars... 

and a great big...

… Thumbs Up!

    This book is available on Amazon $19.94 in paperback, and less for used.

    I fell in love with the main character of this book. He suddenly finds himself as the host for Jesus' earthly visit. While "Philly" can see and hear him, Jesus is invisible to everyone else. Except Grandma, after He miraculously healed her.

    You will laugh at Philly's adventures. You will ponder the truth's that Jesus shares with him. And you will cry. (This is a half box book!) 

    What I took away from this book was the fact, that while we do not see Him, Jesus is ever with us as He was with Philly. We may not see His physical body, but with a little practice we can know that He never leaves us! He is there with us around the clock! We need only listen to His voice! He sees us when we act badly, or say something inappropriate. And He talks to us all the time! We need only understand how He does this, and our lives will forever be changed.

    I can do nothing less than give this book....

FIVE STARS...

 and a big...

THUMBS UP!

    This book is available on Amazon as a free download with Kindle; and for $11.99 in paperback.

Back at the Desk

    Hello Everyone! Yes, it's me! I know you've probably felt like I either abandoned you, I must have died. Am I right? Well, Surprise, Surprise! I am back for another year of writing and reading!

    This year I am determined to read 52 books! Yes, I haven't over speculated at how many books, but simply went with one per week.

    So, we are three weeks into 2020, and how am I doing?

    I'm not doing so well. I often have to take medication and it leaves me sleepy and unable to read. Week three, and I've read two books so far. Is that bad? Never fear, I really do think that I can catch up, and maybe even surpass my goal!

    So, be looking here for my book reviews. I write those just before just before I either place the book upon my shelf; or I rotate into my ever growing pile on my Kindle (gotta love the space saving idea of the Kindle, but my favorite will forever be the heft and feel, and sometimes the smell of brand new books, as well as antique ones!

    So be watching for my reviews, coming up next!
