Inescapable, by Nancy Mehl, is an intriguing novel. With the main character, Lizzie, having lived in a big city and a small Mennonite village, the reader can sense there will be tensions between the two cultures will arise. These and other scenarios makes this book one that is difficult to put down until the end.
Mehl is a talented author and even though this is the first of her books I have read, I know it will not be the last.

Book Review: God in this Cave by Paul Yoder
For a first novel, Paul Yoder picked an immense topic. God in This cave sends the reader on a familiar journey set in modern time. I think Mr. Yoder did a fine job. There is additional editing that needs to be done but congratulations on this epic work. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Book Review; The Song: The Ultimate Love Story by Thomas Lochnicht
Praise God!! That is what I wanted to say over and over as I
read The Song; The Ultimate Love Story. The title does tell what this is about…
God’s love for us is the ultimate love story. This was such an enjoyable read
and I want to share this love with all of my friends.
I highly recommend this to everyone; it is the ultimate feel
good read as the reader experiences God’s love through every word.
I am so glad that I was given this book by the author and

Book Review: A New Resolution
A New Resolution by Rose Dee is a book that has unexpected
life issues throughout it. The story is set in Queensland and the two main characters show
how being a Christian does not mean that their past lifestyles do not affect
others they may meet. Each of them had had sexual partners before they became
Christians and the way they face this can help others that may face this issue.
This was a well-written book that presented difficult
subjects and how it is hard to come across the best decision at the time.
Because of this, it is easy to identify with the characters, which helps the
lessons taught to be more easily received.
I received this book from the author and bookfun.org in
exchange for an honest and fair review.

Book Review: Never Ending Night by Tanya Stowe
T.R. Sheridan fought and died during the Civil War. Or did
he? During a re-enactment of the same battle, Sheridan came out of the woods and suddenly
the world changed for several people. The photo-journalist who took pictures of
the re-enactment as a part of her newspaper assignment, also took pictures of
T.R. coming out of the woods. The gentleman who was in charge of the event, and
he was a professor of Sheridan ’s
poetry. Then there was a dr. who wanted to observe this man from another time.
Never-Ending Night, by Tanya Stowe, tells the story of these
people and makes it intriguing. Once I picked up this story I could not put it
down. Stowe knows how to build a book to a wonderful climax and then finish it
so that the reader is satisfied with the reading experience. I look forward to
more work by this author.

Book Review: Ashes in the Wind by Peggy Levesque
Sara’s life was turned upside down when her husband, a DEA
agent, was killed. She was placed in witness protection, but that did not work,
as someone tried to shoot her. With a myriad of other actions aimed at her and
her late-husband, Sara did not know who to trust.
This is a suspenseful, action-packed book that was very hard
for me to put down. Peggy Levesque, the author of Ashes in the Wind, is a
talented writer and I look forward to anything else that she may write. I
recommend this book highly.
Ashes in the Wind was given to me by the author and
bookfun.org in exchange for my honest review.
