What a Daughter Needs From Her Dad: How a Man Prepares His Daughter for Life 11 reviews
Michael Farris
Bethany House, 2004
A new perspective to how we'll raise our daughters...
Sure, they're just 3 and 5 but every day counts, right? My husband embraced this book and so much of the suggestions rather solidly. He was raised in a home of all boys with rather Godless and unstable parents. While I was raised in a strong Christian home, I think my upbringing would have been so much richer and less heart-wrenching had this book been around 38 years ago... Our favorite part ...

Telling Yourself the Truth25 reviews
William Backus, Marie Chapian
Bethany House, 2000
Eye opening and a quick read
After reading this book, I've since given away my copy and bought it twice. It's based on a simple concept: eliminate negative self talk by recognizing it, arguing with it, and replacing it with the truth. Anyone who has ever been discouraged, experienced doubt, or been angry at themselves will learn from this book.

An Uncertain Dream (Postcards from Pullman Series #3) 1 review
Judith Miller
Bethany House, 2008
An unexpected ending.
I always look forward to reading books by Ms. Miller and this one was no exception.
I hadn't read the second book in the series in a while (because of the long gaps in the release dates), but that wasn't a hinderance. The book was written well enough that you don't have to read the other two in order to understand this one, although you'd enjoy this book more if you read the others.

Bethany House, 2008
Another great read from Beverly Lewis!!
I love all the Amish stories but this one has me fascinated!! I was in the middle of reading another book when this one arrived so I put the other book 'on hold' so I could continue the story. Can't wait for the next book on this series. The time flies by when I'm reading a story like this - a great way to spend an afternoon or evening on the front porch.

Janette Oke

Excellent Reading
I've loved the Hallmark Movies and now am reading the books. The print size makes them easy reading and who would not enjoy a Janette Oake story. Amazon pricing also makes them a excellent value.

Bethany House Publishers, 2004
I felt I was a part of the story
I loved this book, I could hardly put it down. Beverly Lewis writes her books in mini-series form and they are funny, have the ability to transport you to being part of the Amish (watch out though you may find yourself speaking like the Amish!)and they also leave unanswered questions in each book that make you want to finish the entire series to get the final answers. She puts some interesting ...

Kingdom of the Cults, The 130 reviews
Walter Martin
Bethany House, 2003
Great book to learn about how cults were created and work
This book is very good for those who really want to know about how cults work and were created. Being a young Christian man, I have always wondered how many cults I have heard about started, and also how they have used and twisted Biblical scriptures to help support what they do. The book talks about many religious cults and other cults that I had never heard of before. It offers supporting ...

Magnificent Merry
Summerhill Secrets is a super novel about a 15 yr. old girl, Merry, who follow's God's law and grows as a teenage Christian. The 5 stories in this book are very well written and interesting.

A Lady of Hidden Intent (Ladies of Liberty, Book 2)7 reviews
Tracie Peterson
Bethany House, 2008
Wonderful Addition to the Series
This is another great book in The Ladies of Liberty series by author Tracie Peterson. It kept my attention throughout and it resonates with the power of God. It helps us remember that His ways are not always our ways and we may not always understand why things happen in our lives, but can be assured that God has His reasons.
The heroine in this book (Catherine) had lost a lot, yet she ...

Great continuation of the Christy Miller series...
I really liked this book. It was hard to put down. Robin Jones Gunn writes with such nice imagery and detail about the different locations in this book and the whole series. Since I live in California I know nearly every place she talks about in the Christy Miller series and it brings back memories when I read them. This college series starts in Europe and I found myself longing to go to Europe ...

Tracie Peterson
Bethany House, 2007
Can't go wrong with a Peterson book
I'm so glad that Tracie has started a new series. She has a great knack for bringing up social issues of the day (1800's). The women of Tracie's stories go against the social norm. They don't just want to see change, they do something about it.
Mia is one of those women. She sees how the seamen's families are being treated and sets out to find an answer. In the mean time, she makes an enemy. ...
