MY THOUGHTS.....

I've seen many plans for reading The Holy Bible in one year, but this special Bible takes it a step further. Each day offers an Old Testament reading, a New Testament selection, and readings from Psalms and Proverbs. They are all together, listed under the same date, so they're right at your fingertips. The New Living Translation is easy to understand, there are commentaries and devotions to enhance your understanding, and each day's selection can be completed in 15-20 minutes. For easy reference, The One Year Bible for Women begins on January 1, but I didn't receive my copy until late October. My one-year reading journey began then..what a blessing!

This is the suggested reading for my birthday.

The Old Testament reading is Ezekiel 10:1 -11:25. 

Hebrews 6:1-20 is the New Testament selection, along with Psalm 105: 16-36. 

November 4 concludes with Proverbs 27:12 but there are devotional thoughts and a commentary to inspire me even more!

"As we live in a world full of corruption, rather exiled from our citizenship in heaven, God's presence goes with us. With what challenge today will we practice trusting in God's presence?"

Are you thinking of starting your own one-year reading plan? This is the Bible for you! It's perfect for new believers or seasoned Christians, for personal Bible study, or even for use in a small group setting. An added attraction is that The One Year Bible for Women can be paired with The One Year Bible for Men, making these Bibles a great resource for couples’ devotional experiences. This Bible is also a wonderful gift suggestion!

Their Burden to Bear: A Post-WWI Novel by Heather Tabers

ABOUT THE BOOK

In the shadow of a grieving nation, two broken souls are bound by duty, drawn together by circumstance, and tested by a love neither expected.

Washington, D.C., 1921. As America prepares to honor the first Unknown Soldier, Elsie St. Clair longs for freedom from her father’s cruel control and the chance to build a life of her own. Instead, she is forced into the spotlight of the upcoming ceremonies when she’s chosen to serve as companion to Gunnery Sergeant Phillip Pierce—a decorated Marine tasked with bearing the Unknown Soldier to his final rest.

Phillip is a war hero, but the medals pinned to his chest weigh heavy with loss and unspoken pain. To Elsie, his quiet strength and battle-hardened scars stir a hope she thought long the hope of being truly seen and loved. Yet danger shadows their every step—from subtle whispers in the capital to the schemes of a jealous rival determined to come between them.

When Phillip offers Elsie a marriage of convenience, it seems a practical way to shield her from harm and keep his own heart untouched. But as they raise her orphaned nephew together, friendship blossoms into a tender bond neither can deny. Still, secrets from the past threaten to shatter the fragile peace they’ve found, forcing them to decide if they will cling to silence—or risk everything for the kind of love that bears all things.

MY THOUGHTS.....

I experienced a multitude of emotions while reading this story! Pride in being an American, dismay that so many have died to preserve my freedom, and a reminder that we must never take that gift for granted. I've long known about the Unknown Soldier from World War I, but this is my first time learning about the body bearers who carried that soldier to his final resting place. Reading this story so close to Veterans Day, and being acquainted with a soldier who served as a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, increased my appreciation even more.

It's hard to believe that this is a debut novel! Their Burden to Bear has well-defined characters, an exciting plot, and twists and turns I could never have imagined. But author Heather Tabers doesn't stop there! She allows a marriage of convenience to blossom into a friendship that may become something more. Would Phillip and Elsie be strong enough to endure the trials and uncertainties before them?

Romance, history, and faith are flawlessly woven into a thought-provoking story of sacrifice, hope, and love. I recommend Their Burden to Bear to all who enjoy historical Christian romance.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. I was not required to leave a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Forever Cowboy (Noble Ranch Book 1) by Jody Hedlund

ABOUT THE BOOK

After running away from her wedding and hiding for months, Violet Berkley is back home in the high country of Colorado. Her father’s gambling debt has caught up to him, and he wants Violet and her sister to help him pay it off by working as dancing girls in a saloon. Rather than face such degradation, Violet seeks out the one man she hopes might be willing to help her.

Sterling Noble doesn’t want anything to do with Violet after being jilted at the altar by her. He doesn’t want to see her, be near her, or even speak to her. But when she shows up on his doorstep in desperate straits, he’s too kind—and maybe still too in love with her—to do anything but protect her.

Violet knows she doesn’t deserve another chance with Sterling, but she wants to prove she’s a new woman. But has she really changed, or are the insecurities still there? Sterling tries hard to resist his old feelings for Violet because his broken heart can’t take another beating. But as the danger closes in, he’s afraid he’ll lose her all over again.


The inspirational themes in this book are light, and the romance is the primary focus. While the romance is sizzling and the kisses swoony, both the language and physical attraction are clean and wholesome.

MY THOUGHTS.....

We first met Sterling Noble and Violet Berkley in Waiting for the Rancher, and they now have another chance to shine! The Favored Cowboy allows Violet to repair her relationship with Sterling, and they both get a second chance at love. Sizzling chemistry, deep emotional ties, and an exciting plot made this a book that I couldn't put down!

This is classic historical romance from Jody Hedlund, and it's the first book in her new Noble Ranch series. If you enjoy wide-open spaces, loyal cowboys, and strong but needy heroines, you will love The Forever Cowboy!

I received a complimentary ARC from the author. There was no obligation of a positive review.

The Favored Cowboy (Noble Ranch #2) by Jody Hedlund

ABOUT THE BOOK

After a tragic mistake cost him everything, veterinarian Thatcher Hoyt is doing his best to start over in the high country of Colorado. He’s gaining back his life, but he’s missing one thing—his mail-order bride, who should have arrived well before Christmas.

Fleeing from her husband’s murderer, Amelia Stone makes it to Breckenridge, Colorado, as a mail-order bride. When she’s thrust into a wedding with her groom by an excited crowd, she hopes that this time she will have a respected place in the community and a happy home to give to her unborn baby.

Thatcher is relieved his bride has finally arrived, but it doesn’t take long after the wedding for him to realize that many things about his new wife don’t add up. When he and Amelia finally figure out there’s been a bride mix-up, they’ve already started developing feelings for each other. But Thatcher’s real mail-order bride is still on the way. Can they find a way to stay together before it’s too late?

The inspirational themes in this book are light, and the romance is the primary focus. While the romance is sizzling and the kisses swoony, both the language and physical attraction are clean and wholesome.

MY THOUGHTS.....

There are so many reasons to love this book! There's a mail-order bride, a marriage of convenience, and major miscommunication involving two people who deserve only the best that life has to offer. The question is, "Will they enjoy it together?"

The Favored Cowboy is the second book in the Noble Ranch series. It has great characters, a beautiful Montana setting, and the adventure we expect in a Jody Hedlund novel. It also has heart-tugging emotions and sweet, but sizzling, romance that left me swooning. Who knew that a lost letter could be the start of something so special?

This story is everything that I've come to expect from Jody Hedlund. I recommend it to all who enjoy historical western romance!

Love in the Castle Library (In the Castle Library #2) by Ann Swindell

ABOUT THE BOOK

Predictability and efficiency have marked Delphine DuVert’s orderly life as Castle Stewardess in the small European country of Lethersby—until she is tasked by the monarchy to hire a British researcher. Lethersby needs help solving the 100-year-old mystery of their Lost Queen, a young royal who disappeared into the night during World War I.

Delphine’s split-second decision to hire Jack Worthington, a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, has long-lasting consequences when he steps in to protect her from an angry colleague determined to ruin her life. The only catch? That protection looks like Jack posing as her beau.

Jack Worthington believes that his instinct to protect Delphine was the right one, but he’s determined to stay focused on his research for Lethersby—and keep his emotional distance after reeling from a broken heart. Yet as the clues to discovering the Lost Queen’s story unravel and the Delphine’s future hangs in the balance, both Jack and Delphine must step out in faith, choosing to trust that what God has ahead for them is worth any risk.

AMAZON     WHITECROWN PUBLISHING

MY THOUGHTS.....

Are you fascinated by royalty? Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a library? This book is definitely for you!

Love in the Castle Library is set in Lethersby, an imaginary European kingdom, and it revolves around the century-old quest to find answers about a missing Queen. This is a contemporary romance, but it's rich in history, mystery, and faith. I loved the characters, the castle library setting, and the strong attraction between Delphine and Jack. However, even fairy tales aren't exempt from problems. What made this story so special was Ann Swindell's ability to weave inspiration throughout this engaging plot. You should see all of the highlights in my digital copy...so many good thoughts to read and ponder!

I'm thrilled to discover this new-to-me author! I look forward to more visits to Lethersby, and more adventures in the castle library!

The Red Cottage by Hannah Linder

ABOUT THE BOOK

She forgot she loved him.
He would die to make her remember.

Meg Foxcroft has never minded the tattling village gossip or her uncle’s ill-tempered rebukes. After all, she has Tom McGwen—and one day, they will build their own cottage, paint it red, and live a wonderful life.

But then the unthinkable happens. Meg is attacked, her uncle’s apothecary shop goes up in flames, and when she wakes up in the arms of an eloquent lord, she remembers nothing. Not even her own name.

In a frantic race against time, Tom plunges into dangerous water, bent on sheltering Meg from harm and discovering who wants her dead. Even if she despises him. Even if it’s now the handsome lord she casts her smile upon.

As danger swells and truth comes crashing around them, Meg must confront the past and decide who she trusts—and loves—before the enemy makes the final strike.

AMAZON     BARBOUR PUBLISHING

MY THOUGHTS.....

Hannah Linder's name on the cover of a book is always an exciting invitation, but this may be her best story yet! Meg Foxcroft's life was marked by uncertainty after a brutal attack, loss of memory, and continued threats on her life. Linder's depiction of these events kept me turning the pages, and her depiction of Meg's emotional state was absolutely riveting!

A beautiful cover, unforgettable characters, and a Scottish setting set the stage for this tantalizing historical romance. I loved Tom's devotion to the woman he had long cherished, and I couldn't decide if Lord Cunningham truly had Meg's best interests at heart. Would Meg's heart make the right choice?

Looking for haunting, melodic storytelling? Search no further, because this is a book to savor and keep! I recommend The Red Cottage to all who enjoy inspirational Regency romance.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

Under the Mistletoe (Home to Heritage Book 5) by Tari Faris

ABOUT THE BOOK

Sometimes the best Christmas gifts come wrapped in second chances…

Social worker Devin Hendrickson pours her heart into running Heritage's foster care support program, organizing magical Christmas events for families while trying to ignore her own abandoned heart. When her program faces shutdown, she'll need a Christmas miracle - and maybe the help of the one man who once broke her heart.

Logan Kingsley, the bestselling author behind the pseudonym Victor Holt, hides away in his cabin fighting writer's block and his forbidden feelings for Devin. But when three foster siblings capture his heart, he realizes he might be ready for more than just writing happy endings.

As Devin races to save her program and Logan struggles to finish his book, they discover they need each other—at least for the season. With three children's futures hanging in the balance, they must decide if they're brave enough to risk their hearts again. If they fail, it's not just Logan's career or Devin's program at stake - it's the chance at the family they never knew they wanted.

Can a Christmas-loving community coordinator and a reclusive author learn to trust in love again? Or will past hurts and present fears keep them from building the family they both desperately want?

"Mistletoe" delivers all the cozy small-town Christmas romance feels with a heart-warming story about chosen family, second chances, and the courage to fight for love. Fans of foster family dynamics, secret identity reveals, and Christmas community events will fall in love with Heritage and its enchanting cast of characters.

This sweet contemporary Christmas romance features childhood crushes, secret bestselling authors, Christmas charity events, found family dynamics, and enough holiday magic to make you believe in second chances. Content suitable for all readers.

AMAZON     SUNRISE PUBLISHING

MY THOUGHTS.....

"Heritage is more than a community. It's a family. We are here for you. Your parents are not the only family you have."

I'm thrilled to return to Heritage, Michigan again! Under the Mistletoe is set during the Christmas season, but it's so much more than a Christmas story. There's a powerful reminder of the need for, and importance of, caring foster families, and the poignant suggestion that families aren't determined by blood alone.

There's also a touching romance between two wounded people. Is there anything worse than feeling unloved or unwanted? I loved the progression of their relationship and the novel that allowed Logan to express his personal feelings for Devin. It isn't often that readers have the chance to enjoy and savor two romance novels at the same time!

Under the Mistletoe has endearing characters, take-your-breath-away romance, and all of the joy and emotions of the holiday season! There's also a delightful reunion with many characters from the previous stories! I loved this latest addition to the Home to Heritage series, and I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian fiction.

Texas Christmas Cover-Up by Terri Reed

ABOUT THE BOOK

A hunt for the truth
could be deadly.

When widowed FBI agent Kara Evans returns to sell her late mother’s home, eager to shed reminders of her tragic past, she’s assaulted by a masked attacker. With the house ransacked and a daughter to protect, Kara must turn to her former love, police chief Jeremy Hamilton, to track down her assailant. But when the trail of clues leads to unanswered questions about her father’s cold case murder, it’s clear that someone is determined to keep Kara from uncovering the truth. As a string of new murders unfolds, can they expose this deadly plot before Kara is silenced forever?

MY THOUGHTS.....

Twists, turns, and long hidden secrets...Texas Christmas Cover-Up is a real page-turner! What was meant to be a brief return to San Padre Island immediately turned into a heart-pounding race to stay alive for Kara Evans and the police chief trying to protect her. Suddenly, Kara was forced to accept help from the man who broke her heart so long ago!

Texas Christmas Cover-Up is a tantalizing web of suspense, constant peril, and romantic tension. I was captivated by the clues surrounding the cold case murder of Kara's father, and I also loved the peek into Kara and Jeremy's tumultuous past. Working together, remembering they were each other's first love, and Jeremy's increasing affection for Kara's little girl, Emily---was there a chance for a future together? I also enjoyed catching up with characters from a previous visit to San Padre Island! Kudos to author Terri Reed for this engaging romantic Christian suspense novel.

I received a complimentary copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review. I am voluntarily sharing my own thoughts.

MY THOUGHTS.....

There are so many reasons to love this new Bible! It is written in the New King James translation, so it is true to the original King James Version but easier to understand. Each book in this Bible is introduced by sharing its history, including author, time, key verse, and theme. There are also numerous Peace Notes throughout the Bible, along with many study aids that include a Topical Index of Devotions, a concordance, and several colorful maps. The font is easy to read, the theme of achieving personal peace through our faith is extensively explored, and I especially love that the words of Jesus are printed in red!

This is a wonderful Bible for personal use, but its beautiful appearance makes it perfect for gifts. I recommend the Peace of God Bible as a wonderful resource for reading and understanding God's Word!

Many thanks to HarperCollins Christian Publishing for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
