Review of Stranded by Dani Pettrey

Stranded by Dani Pettrey
This is book three in this series but I do not think you need to read the others to enjoy this book.  I liked the adventure as well as the romance.  This is a well written and very enjoyable book and that is why I gave it 5/5 stars.  The intrigue will keep you turning the page to see what will happen next.  The characters are well written and when the two main characters are interacting you can feel the tension and romance!  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian books that have detective work and some romance.

I would like to thank 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 Stopping Words That Hurt

 Stopping Words That Hurt by Michael D. Sedler

The theme of this book is pretty simple, words are powerful and can change a persons’ life.  Stopping Words That Hurt is an updated version of a book this author wrote years ago.  The principles he writes about are still very relevant and this book is definitely worth reading.  I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I thought the emphasis was mostly about the negative.  The book went into great detail about gossip and not talking to each other with negative words.  I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to speak to others in a more positive way and needs a reminder of how much words can hurt others.

Review of Setting Boudaries for Women

Setting Boundaries for Women by Allison Bottke
This is an excellent book and a must read for ALL women!  Please buy this book, read it and share it with a friend.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I thought the author did an excellent job of being open about her own personal struggles and ways she learned to overcome by using boundaries.  I liked the advice given.  From leaning on others to looking at what really matters in your life, you will learn where you need boundaries and how to set them up.  This book is perfect for the woman who does not know when to say no or let’s people take advantage of her because she wants everyone to like her.  I would recommend this book for all women and will definitely be reading this book again and again!

Review of Rescued by Brian Brown

Rescued by Brian Brown
 
If you enjoy the retelling of real life adventures, you will enjoy this book.  The author recounts a plane crash and does it so well you can picture everything he describes in your head.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I thought the book was well written and did not contain any useless information.  What I mean by that is the whole book keeps you on the edge of your seat and thankful you are there and not on a plane!  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys real life stories, adventure stories, stories about planes and stories about impossible rescues.  A must read and I thoroughly enjoyed the book!

Review of The Outlaw's Redemption

The Outlaw's Redemption by Renee Ryan
I read this book in one sitting!  I enjoyed the characters right away and was rooting for the main male character, Hunter, within the first few pages.  The young girl in the story is written very well and adds a unique storyline to the book.  You will fall in love with her immediately.  The main woman character, Annabeth, is not as likeable until you get to know her characters history a bit.  I liked that about the story.  The characters develop and grow closer together as the story moves along.  Very much like a real life romance might.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I would recommend the book to anyone who enjoys short Christian fiction books with characters that are entertaining.

Review of Mistletoe Memories


 Mistletoe Memories by Jennifer AlLee

I thoroughly enjoyed these stories!  Set around the holidays they each will give you a bit of holiday cheer.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I thought the stories were all well written and made me want to read more by the authors who wrote them.  I liked the time periods of each story and the descriptions were excellent without filling the pages with too much detail.  I would recommend this book to those who enjoy the simple Lifetime and Hallmark movies around the holidays.  I would definitely buy this book as a present for a friend, knowing that they will enjoy it!

Review of The Immigrant Brides Collection

The Immigrant Brides Collection by Irene Brand
There are multiple stories in the book and each one is unique.  I enjoyed each story and thought they were all well written.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I really liked how the stories included a diverse group of women.  I did not expect that when picking up the book. The women are all written with intriguing personalities and interesting story lines.  I would recommend this book for anyone looking for some small stories that are enjoyable to read.  You can choose to read one or a few and not spend too much time.  I highly recommend this collection and hope each author continues to write other stories like these!

Review of Couponing for the Rest of Us

Couponing for the Rest of Us by Kasey Trenum
Are you looking for a book to help you get started in saving money for your family?  Think it will be too time consuming or complicated?  If you have any interest in coupons and saving money in your monthly budget this book is a great buy.  The author uses her own life examples to help explain the different ways to save.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I thought the author did a great job of simplifying the saving process.  She shows that even busy people can take a few minutes and save money every week.  I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a simple and easy to understand help book about saving your family money.

Review of The 40 Most Influencial Christians

The 40 Most Influential Christians by Daryl Aaron
This book was not very interesting and it took me awhile to get through it.  I gave the book 4/5 stars for a few reasons.  I would say this book is more of a textbook then a sit down and read for the enjoyment book.  I also thought some of the people chosen were not as influential as others.  There are so many great Christians to choose from that I was surprised at some that were chosen and written about.  If you are looking for a book about Christians and are willing to skim over some boring parts, you might enjoy the book more than I did.
