Review of Bluegrass Bachelors

Bluegrass Bachelors is published by Barbour Books.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I liked all the stories but the first one was the best!  The concept of the stories is a set of guy friends who all make an agreement to not get married or at least outlast each other.  It seems like a great idea until they meet women that win their hearts.  The first story is about Drew and Addy.  They have known each other for years but something changes for them when Addy has to move back home for awhile.  Their interactions are well written and believable.   I gave this book 5/5 stars.  I thought each story was linked to the others very well.  The stories were great on their own but having them all together in one book was perfect.  I would recommend this book for anyone who likes easy to read loves stories.

Review of Hill Country Cattleman

Hill Country Cattleman is published by Love Inspired.

This story follows the relationship of Violet and Raleigh.  They come from two different worlds, yet seem to be attracted to each other at first site.  Violet is from England where she lived a very plush life.  Raleigh is a farm hand in Texas.  When Violet is sent to Texas to live with her brother she meets Raleigh and how they come to know each other is the whole of the story.

I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I thought the idea of the story was a great one.  How the characters meet and get to know each other is entertaining.  The problems started with the main character of Violet who was a bit confusing.  She could be bold at times and then be very weak at others.  I did like the minor characters and thought they helped the story flow.  The character of Drew, a man who steps in and wants to marry Violet, was written the best.  The biggest problem with the story was there were not enough interactions between Violet and Raleigh.  There was just too much introspection and not enough conversations.  I do think the story itself is cute though and worth a read!

Review of Where Love Grows

This is book three in the Fields of Home Series written by Jerry Eicher.  I would recommend reading the others in the series before reading this one.  You will get a full understanding of the characters and setting that way and not feel like you are coming into the middle of a story.

I gave this book 4/5 stars.  I did not especially enjoy the main character in the story, Susan.  I do not like characters that are very dependent on others and feelings to respond to their circumstances.  I thought she could have been written with more depth.  I liked that the families where forced to face issues that had been hidden in the past.  I would recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of the author or who enjoys Amish fictional stories.

Review of To Whisper Her Name

You cannot go wrong reading any book written by Tamara Alexander.  This book is no exception.  For me the setting was the best part.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  If you like Christian historical fiction books this is the perfect story for you!  Books written by this author are so full of description and details that you put the story down feeling like you might actually know the people in the book.  The story follows multiple characters and each one is likable if not lovable.  I would recommend this book and actually any book by this author.  I guarantee you will enjoy this book!

Review of The Wisdom Compass

This is such a simple book but filled with some very thought provoking guidelines to having a Christ focused life.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  It is meant to be a 31 day journey through the pages of the book.  I found that by spreading it out over a couple days instead of one each devotional had time to sink in.  It also gave me more time to read the many scripture references provided.  I would recommend this book for anyone, whether a new or seasoned Christian.  You will find something to learn from in these pages!

Review of The 13: Fall

This is a great Christian suspense book.  I enjoyed the setting and different cities the story took place in.  I thought the characters were interesting and kept me cheering for them throughout the book.  The plot itself was exciting and had me entertained the whole time.  I gave this book 5/5 stars.  If you enjoy action, suspense and a Christian themed story, then you will really enjoy this book!  One of the best books I have read in the past year!

Review of Organic Outreach for Families

This book has helpful information about ways to expand your families outreach.  The outreach it is talking about is being a family that witnesses for the Lord in all they do.  I gave this book a 4/5 stars.  I did not find as much helpful information in this book as I thought I would. I did think it was more of a do this and this book then just helpful advice.  I felt it was saying if you do not do these things then you are not doing enough for the Lord as a family.  I do however think that if you are looking for some ways your family can make more of a difference in the world this book would be a great read for you.
