Of all the Christians in this country today, how many are really on fire for Jesus? How many churches preach the true Gospel? Too many of us are complacent—calling ourselves Christians but living like the world. The Bible tells us to be in the world but not of the world, but it's very common for…
In Love by Christmas
A collection of three heart-warming Christian Christmas romances set in Rios Azules in south Texas. Each story stands on its own, but it's fun to read in order to keep up with continuing characters. Individual ratings are shown below; the 5 star rating for the collection is rounded up from the average of the three…
Calm and Bright
I appreciate that both characters had to grow emotionally and spiritually in order to overcome their differences. They had fallen in love and married quickly without really knowing each other well. Instead of trying to understand one another, they had done when they "assumed" they should do as a husband or wife. The marriage ended…
Blind Justice
The story kept me engrossed from beginning to end. I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. Jake and Howie were both broken, but Howie was so trusting in Jake, who didn't seem trustworthy at all. The ending was a surprise.
Just as I Am
I enjoy romantic suspense, especially when there is a strong faith element. So this book was just what I like to read. The characters were relatable, the romance was sweet, the suspense was intriguing, and the faith element tied it all together.
Lightning on a Quiet Night
Imagine a complex mystery, a sweet romance, a prideful town filled with quirky and often self-righteous people, and a strong Christian message. Lightning on a Quiet Night is all this and more. The mystery kept me guessing, the romance kept me smiling, and the town and its inhabitants kept me thinking. I don't think anyone…

Each devotional includes a Scripture related to that theme, a meditation upon the Scripture, a prayer, and a Chrismon pattern with a brief sentence explaining the…
For You: My Life Memoir
As an editor, I love working with people writing their life stories, and I believe each of us should leave our story for future generations. When I encourage people to tell their stories, I often hear "I don't know where to start." Now, that excuse doesn't work. This book includes more than 250 pages with…
What If …
I really like both of the main characters—and some of the minor characters as well. I appreciate that Emily and Connor were each on a faith journey, and that was as important to the story as the spy stuff and the romance. Like most of us, they sometimes wanted to go their own way and…
Washington’s Lady
I enjoyed this fictionalized biography of Martha Washington. It was written in the first person, and I felt I got to know this remarkable woman through her story. The novel begins after the death of her first husband. It covers her courtship with George Washington and their marriage through his election as president. Then it…
