Review of Nowhere to Run


Nowhere To Run is written by Amy Wallace.

What a suspenseful story!  You will love the intrigue in this story and how quickly the story moves from one scene to the next.  Ashley Walters is a police officer and finds herself being followed.  Fearing for her safety she has to leave her day to day life and hide.  She chooses a Mennonite community thinking she will be perfectly safe.  Will she be safe or will danger follow!

 I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I liked the story and thought it did great at being an adventure novel.  I did not think it did very well at keeping me interested.  The dialogue was hard to get through at times and that made me want to skip parts.  I did make it through the whole book but wish it had been better written.  I recommend this book for anyone who likes suspenseful stories, Amish fiction or just wants an adventure book to escape into.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading.  I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Review of Spirit Hunger


Spirit Hunger is written by Gari Meacham.

 The author’s personality shines in this very personal book written by Gari Meacham.  Learning how to draw closer to the Lord by reading about another persons journey is what this book is all about.  The subtitle to the book is Our Deep Longing To Connect With God.

I enjoyed the examples of other Christian’s and their journey to a closer relationship with the Lord.  I thought the author did an excellent job using personal illustrations to expound on her topics.  She used scripture to perfection.  Not over use but only when it will help make her point about the topic. 

I gave this book 4/5 stars.  The information given was informative and helpful.  The personal stories were meaningful and some were even filled with humor.  I wish there had been more on finding your purpose as a Christian rather then so much on what Christians long for.  Overall it was a good book that I would recommend to a friend.
