Final Approach By: Lynette Eason

 

"For Nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, not is anything secret that will not be known and come to light." Luke 8:17 ESV

There are so many scriptures of true, selfless love throughout the Bible, I could list so many and they all would tie to this book in some way.  One that kep coming to my mind is John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." (ESV)  Love is not selfish nor does it seek to benefit self.  In this Lake City Heroes book by Lynette Eason Kristine has to come to grip with a father who does not love in this way.    She has always assumed her Father to be controlling and hard to get along, but she has never truly grasped or understood the depths or links he would go to fulfill his psychotic fantasies.   

Kristine, her friends, and potential love interest Andrew are on a flight to the sandy beaches of Florida for some much needed rest and relaxation.  Then the unthinkable happens!  An attempted hijacker on their plane sets off a series of events that Kristine and Andrew were not expecting.  They each must face demons in their past, forgive themselves, and find rest and peae in the arms of the Good Shepherd, the only one who can provide that rest. 

This is a fast paced read, that will have readers on the edge of their seat until the final pages.  Lynette Eason weaves so much spiritual truth into this book, and readers will feel like taking a moment to reflect on and look at their own hearts and motivations (I know I was).  In her uniuqe and spell-binding way, readers offers readers a glimpse into the psyche of a truly evil person, along with glimpses into the minds of those who have got caught up in evil for a myriad of reasons.  With all that we face in our world, this book was a solid reminder, that Our God is sovereign and on His throne.  Evil will not triumph, and all will be brought into the light.  As believers we can cling to an eternal hope and an eternal kingdom where there is no night, and the only light we need is of the Father and his beloved Son.

Fans of Patricia Bradley, and Eliazabeth Goddard will love this novel in Lynette Eason's Lake City Heroes novel (can be read as a stand alone).  The characters are rich and dynamic, and she weaves so much truth about good and evil into her book.  I was reminded of many verses after reading this, and motiviated to do better and to put away the selfish desires of my flesh.  Simba says readers do not want to miss this new book that is available for purchase now, and gives it four paws.  Happy reading!!

The Christmas Keepsake By: Annie Rains

Received copy from Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) to read for an honest review "Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul"  (Precious Memories Lyrics @Emibaapril Music Inc.   Songwriters Dp/Johnnie Robert Wright) As a first time mother, amd lover of all things Christmas, I was so excited to pick out that all important baby's first Christmas ornament.  It had to be the best,  so of course, off to the local Hallmark store we went.  I will always remember that little train with a bear that says baby's first Christmas.  And of course, it came as part of a set for the next couple of years (Which we proudly collected).  Twenty-five years qnd four kids later, we still make the annual trip to the store for that perfect keepsake ornament.  We have collected Disney princesses, Harry Potter, Superheroes, Charlie Brown, and many more.  All showing likes or what was important that year.  But for this mama's...

"Sometimes you Stay" by Liz Johnson: A Red Door Inn Romance

Psalm 32:7. "You are my hiding place, you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. " A small child growing up with trauma (physical, psychological, emotional abuse or neglect) is so hard for us to process.  For the child, there are scars they will carry throughout life.  Many times those cars will be picked over and bleed a bit more til they scab over again.  Many times we question and ask where God was in the midst of all this and why did He allow this to happen?  The people who are supposed to love and protect this innocent child, are the ones hurting him causing great pain.  I am no theologian and I do not understand the why, and I sincerely believe we won't understand it this side of heaven.  As a victim of childhood trauma, I can tell you that looking back, I see God's hand and protection throughout my childhood.  These painful experiences have made me who I am today, and God has used them to help me reach out to chi...

Getting Started

Growing up as an only child,  with older parents,  made for a very lonely childhood.  Books became my best friend.   My parents were always afraid to let me be play outside, and there were not many kids My age to look forward to.   Weekly, or sometimes bi-weekly trips, to the local library became the highlight of my days.   I would come home with stacks of books that would allow me to escape into a world filled with possibilities.  From the Babysitters Club, to Ramona and Beezus,  Mary Lenox in the Secret Garden, and Fern in Charlotte's web, I would lose myself for hours in a world where I felt safe and confident.   These characters became some of my closest "friends" and helped me to escape from a lonely and isolated childhood.   I was a fast reader and devoured so many books, I couldn't begin to name them all.   As an adult, I still love to read and find myself identifying with characters in my novels...
