An Echo in the Darkness (Mark of the Lion #2) 48 reviews
Francine Rivers
Tyndale House Publishers, 1998
Beautiful!
When I started reading this book, I was afraid that a sequel could never be as good as an original. However, my fear was unfounded with this book. I have not enjoyed a piece of fiction this much in many years! This series has rekindled my love for fiction and deepened my walk with God.

The Holiness of God57 reviews
Tyndale House Publishers, 2000
This is flat out good stuff...
I told someone recently that I was reading The Holiness of God by Sproul and they looked at me like I was an alien. They responded with surprise that I had not read it and went on to rave about the book. Sometimes books get a bit too much pub and then don't live up to the hype; however, this book is not one of them. The Holiness of God is classic Sproul and it is a much needed message for the ...

Karen Kingsbury #1 Writer~
Anyone who has ever read any of Karens books knows that there is no other writer in this day and age that hits every emotion that we all go through in this life, in our own search for why we are here, who we are, and the battles that can and do happen in this life.
The number one moral is that Gods Love and our love for others is the strength to keep us all carrying on in this journey in ...

Excellent!
Safely Home puts into perspective as to what is important in this life. It is a window that allows the reader to view religious persecution in today's world both here in the U.S. and abroad. Once you begin to read, it will be hard to put the book down.

The 4:8 Principle72 reviews
Tyndale House Publishers, 2007
This is the only toolbox you will ever need.
I was diagnosed with Manic depression/bipolar disorder about 5 years ago. Prior to that it was severe Postpartum depression. I have been on and off medication for 9 years after the death of my mom. Through much prayer and seeking God I was healed of my depression and given joy abundantly, and do not take any medication whatsoever. God must know how much I love books, because only after 4 days ...

Best Christmas Pagaent Ever
I purchased this book simply to replace my original copy, which I loaned out and which was never returned. Reading this book has been a favorite part of my Christmas for many years. While I regret losing my old copy, I am thankful I will now be able to carry on this tradition.

The Truth Seeker (The O'Malley Series #3)37 reviews
Dee Henderson
Tyndale House Publishers, 2005
Enjoyable listening.
The Truth Seeker as CD audio book I received as a present. Due to ill health I now can't read very much for very long. For someone who has been a bookworm all her life this was very difficult, but audio books have come to my rescue. Mum listens to them while she is doing housework, and my sister has them on in the car during her 40 minute commute to work, & back.
Dee Henderson is a favourite ...

EXCELLENT BOOK!!! A must have for all parents
What a wonderful book!!! And what a fantastic resource!! I am so glad I found this while my children are still babies. Their father is grateful as well since this book has inspired him to take an active part in reading aloud to them.
I do wonder if I read the same book as some others!?!? Trelease isn't against phonics. (He says over and over that he's not suggesting we do away with ...

Karen Kingsbury
Tyndale House Publishers, 2004
Excellent book
Anything Karen Kingsbury writes is incredible. I recently gave this book to a mom whose son was graduating from high school. She loved it so much that she keeps it on her coffee table for everyone to read. I also gave it to a mom whose son just turned 5. She, too loved the message of treasuring your child's every moment--their firsts and their lasts. This book is more for moms rather than the ...

Elisabeth Elliot

Very Inspirational and Encouraging
This book really makes one question: How much do I truly trust the Lord? What would I be willing to give up should I be called to it? Would I be willing to sacrifice the basic comforts I know and depend on? Would I be willing to sacrifice my life with forethought decision? Even harder for me to think of than the sacrifice of my own life, would I be willing to sacrifice that of my husband, ...

Vienna Prelude (Zion Covenant, Book 1)32 reviews

Tyndale House Publishers, 2005
Fantastic Series. A real eye opener.
This book is a real eye opener if you are interested in WWII, but don't want to watch boring documentaries or read boring text books about it. It brings it to life. Charlotte Mason would have called this a "living book". Historically acurate history written in story format. There are 9 in the series, and all are worth the read.
