Book Review: Answers to the Most Important Questions About the End Times

As the Bible begins to talk about the end of times, questions begin to arise in the most devout Christians. What is the Second Coming? Who is the Antichrist? Are there signs that we are there?

Each of these questions have been answered in many different ways over my life, however, I found the answers in Dr. John Hart's book to be straight forward and easy to understand, The book itself is not a large tome, which helps the reader see that the answers will be concise.

Prophesies have been a part of our history from the beginning of time, so it is not surprising to see that they are a part of the end of time. It is easier to look back and see how the prophesies have been true, but there is always that little doubt about the ones of the future. I found Dr. Hart's book to be enlightening in many different ways, I found that most of his theories aligned with my own.

This is a fascinating book and could give a different light on end times to those who are fearful or full of questions.

Book Review: the Tea Planter's Wife

This book is set in Ceylon with Gwen, a 19-year old bride to a tea planter. She was originally from England, so after the marriage, on her way to her new home, many odd things begin to happen. Ravi was a friend of the family who Gwen's husband begins to act differently to. Then there is the previous marriage of the groom. There are many mysteries which come to the open as the story continues to unfold.

The author has a way of making the reader feel they are a part of the conversation which is going on through the book. I feel like she has a deep grasp of the times and marriages like this that occurred. There was good character development, overall and the plot was well-done. Overall, I enjoyed this book and recommend it.

Book Review: The Babel Conspiracy

Sylvia Bambola has written another great book. The Babel Conspiracy is my fourth book that I have read of this talented lady.

She has such a gift with words that they bring me right into the story as she tells it. Trisha, one of the main characters in the book is a Christian, however, like all of us, she is faced with temptation when she falls for a married man. She fights the temptation and turns to her work. Her job is to build the first nuclear powered aircraft. She remains strong in her faith.

Each of Sylvia Bambola's books are so different. This one deals with the political and spiritual atmosphere of the world.

I cannot give enough praise for this book. It is definitely one that I will treasure.

Book Review: Family Inheritance

In Family Inheritance, three sisters leave behind their lives to travel to Minnesota to be at the bedside of a dying mother. They have not seen each other since leaving home. So there are many issues that have never been faced and resolved. They come to be with their mother and each other, even though there are many hurt emotions, which caused them to move away in the first place. None of them knew the hurt that the others were feeling.

Due to the issues that are uncovered, this is not an easy book to read, but it is still very well-written. Plus it does show how the problems of one sibling can have far-reaching effects on the others.

Book Review: The Stonehenge Letters

The first thing that drew me to this book, by Harry Karlinsky, was the title. I love all things about Stonehenge. So, of course I had to get the book.

As I began to read this book I was ready to sit down to a nice fictional book. Instead, soon after beginning to read, I caught myself wondering if I was wrong. This book centers around a secret prize which Alfred Nobel originated looking for secrets of Stonehenge. Only winners of the Nobel Prize were allowed to submit and the submission period was 10 years.

The people who were asked to submit were action people in history, which helped to make me wonder whether I was reading fiction or nonfiction.

I was so drawn by this book, on so many levels, that it was difficult to put down, once I began. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys history. Or well-written works of fiction.

Book Review: Secrets to Surrender: Living Wholeheartedly

Debby Akerman has put togethera good work which helps the reader to look at their lives and see how they can "wholeheartedly" follow Christ. She does this by sharing Biblical people who were not perfect, yet discovered they could become stronger individuals by giving all to God.

This study begins with the first book of the Bible and shares scriptures, comments and then applications for the teachings within your own life.

I found this was a wonderful resource for reflecting on my life and seeing different ways that I could improve to become a better Christian.

Book Review: Between Sisters

Cathy Kelly is such a rich author and she shares her wealth of talent with each of us through her works.

In the book Between Sisters, the sisters are Cassie and Coco. Their mother left them when they were younger. Now that they are grown, they are still feeling the pain. They were left in the care of their grandmother, so they did know love but not the love of their own mother.

Cassie now has a family with two teenage daughters and Coco is single. Each are successful career-women.

There are problems that erupt into their lives and seeing their pathway to the resolution is very interesting and intriguing.

As with many of her other books, Between Sisters, is not a light book to read. It includes mistakes and real-life instances throughout it.

I love the bond that Cathy Kelly is able to include in this book between the sisters. I would highly recommend this book to Cathy Kelly lovers and to those who enjoy books with reality throughout it.
