The Cottage On Juniper Ridge by Sheila Roberts My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a particularly delightful book this is, and I can recommend it to romance lovers of most genres. There are no bedroom scenes (thank goodness!), and the profanity is minimal. I truly wish that “sh–” had been left out of this book, but I am not […]

I was sent the following product for review purposes. As a parent, I am so grateful to find excellent, educational, and entertaining multimedia for children.  And I am so grateful to be able to tell you about one I recently discovered:  Iesodo.  I know the name sounds strange, but its subtitle may make more sense–“Where Fun and Faith Take Flight.”  […]

The Thief by Stephanie Landsem My rating: 4 of 5 stars For much of this book, I was quite intrigued. I often relish Biblical fiction, and this one is no exception as far as that goes. The characters were captivating, and as the story captured my attention. It is nearing Easter, and I believe that the fascination with the cross […]

Scraps of Evidence by Barbara  Cameron My rating: 3 of 5 stars I always luxuriate in reading a well-written mystery, and it is even better when it is cozy, clean, and Christian. This book meets the criteria–no profanity, no sex, and definitely Christian (even though the message is much more subdued than I would like it to be). This is […]

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I am so pleased to be able to tell you about something called the Elite Little Dog Bark Control.  Permit me to preface this review by saying that we have a large dog, and so this did not work as well as the large dog bark control collar would have.  […]

Distortion by Terri Blackstock My rating: 5 of 5 stars Generally, I am not an incredible fan of contemporary novels, but with Terri Blackstock, I make a notable exception. I know from the moment I pick up one of her stories that I will read an intensely involving story with strong Christian themes. She is not afraid to talk about […]
