I'm always thrilled to preview new Bibles and Bibles designed for young people are especially exciting. We want our children and grandchildren to become invested in God's Word but it isn't always easy to find a translation that they want to use. This NLT Go Bible is a perfect choice! The New Living Translation makes it easy to read and easy to understand, and the abundance of colorful illustrations are visually appealing. It is filled with colored maps, pages with vivid graphics, and a sturdy hard cover, but the content is what I especially love.

Beautiful colors and charming illustrations help bring God's Word to life!

This Bible has more than 600 features connecting Bible Truths to everyday life. Some that are appealing to me include Mini Devotions, Key Verse Challenge, Greatest Story Bible Reading Plan,
Quick Answer Index, and Choose to Change (Using God's Word to modern-day challenges)

I love that there are "Snapshots" of the New Testament authors.

Children get a glimpse of the person responsible for the book they are reading! 

This is a Bible that I would have loved when I was growing up! It's a great addition to home and church libraries, and it's also the perfect gift for Christmas, birthdays, or other special occasions. The NLT Go Bible is a life changing Bible that I highly recommend!

Playing for Keeps (Home to Heritage Book 4) by Andrea Michelle Wood, Tari Faris, & Susan May Warren

ABOUT THE BOOK

Substitute Teacher Piper Caveneau is all about making sure her students succeed—even if she has to bench the entire Heritage Football team. And of course she’ll stand up to the school’s new football coach. Even if he, inconveniently, happens to be the charming man who rescued her on her first night in town.

But being a teacher is her calling—and a fulltime position in Heritage is her dream and she’ll do whatever it takes to finally call this small town home.

Former NFL player Titus Ford can’t believe he’s back in the tiny, cramped town of Heritage, Michigan—but a guy has to do something while he’s trying to recover, so sure, he’ll coach his former high school team. Titus doesn’t have time for distractions—especially not the fiery new English teacher who’s derailed his season by failing his players.

When Piper suggests tutoring for his kids, he’s willing to give it a chance. He has no idea that one yes might lead to the life he never thought he wanted. And Piper just might find the home she longs for.

But when a prestigious coaching job comes calling…and Piper’s dreams go up in smoke, maybe Heritage wasn’t their happy ending after all.
AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

What could be better than a return visit to Heritage, Michigan? How about a visit during football season? I loved the hilarious first meeting between a substitute teacher and the football coach, but it didn't take long for their initial attraction to cool! How dare a teacher allow a football player's grades to interfere with his playing in an important game?

I loved this return to one of my favorite fictional places, the chance to catch up with all of the residents, and an opportunity to meet some intriguing newcomers. Playing for Keeps was filled with heartwarming interactions between Piper and her students, Titus and his players, and the townspeople who were there to cheer both of them on. Could they overcome their past hurts and build a new future in Heritage? Would they find a way to work together?

This is an engaging story with well-developed characters and an inspiring message of hope and faith. I thoroughly enjoyed this second-chance story from new-to-me author, Andrea Michelle Wood!

Through Water and Stone: A Zion National Park Novel by Karen Barnett

ABOUT THE BOOK

In 1948, Zion National Park ranger Henry Eriksson and his wife, Alma, are less than one year removed from their infant son's sudden death in a flash flood, and the weight of the loss hasn't diminished with time. When Henry discovers an abandoned baby in a hatbox on his morning rounds, he's unsure how to react, but Alma is delighted, and she reignites with purpose at what seems to be a miracle from God.

Nearly eighty years later, Talia Eriksson leaves her job at an athleisure company in Palo Alto, California, in disgrace and returns to Zion National Park to reconnect with her grandfather and review her life goals. But when an at-home DNA test exposes family secrets, Talia and her newfound friend, law enforcement ranger Blake Mitchell, work together to search for answers.

Talia navigates the rocky path into her past with Blake by her side, what she discovers may alter everything she knew to be true about herself. With the uncertain future looming, Talia must learn that family is deeper than genetics and that trusting God can mean being still and clinging to the Rock.

AMAZON     

MY THOUGHTS.....

Oh, how I loved this book! I was mesmerized by the beautiful descriptions of Zion National Park and emotionally invested in this dual-time plot that offered mystery, romance, and a powerful message of faith. This wasn't my first book by author Karen Barnett, but it is now one of my favorites. She was able to tell two different stories, almost 80 years apart, and keep me wondering about the possible connection between the two. I was deeply moved by Henry and Alma Eriksson's grief in 1948 and so very inspired by the strong faith that carried them through as they faced even more loss. Talia Eriksson's strong convictions were admirable. and her present-time romance with a Zion Park ranger was captivating! And, when the two timelines were fully revealed, there was total satisfaction!

Through Water and Stone is both a guidebook and a how-to manual! I was charmed by Zion National Park and challenged to have more hope, faith, and trust. A perfect setting, intriguing characters, and a riveting mystery made this a book that I couldn't put down!

The Amish Nanny's Secret: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance by Amy Lillard

ABOUT THE BOOK

Will a temporary arrangement
turn into the love she needs?

Naomi Ebersol has always felt like the black sheep of her Amish community, and even more so now that she’s been accepted into art school. It’ll be difficult leaving Miller Creek behind, but she longs to follow her heart. To pay for her tuition, she agrees to be a nanny for widower Josias Schrock, who needs help caring for his five energetic little boys. Only now, everyone in their community thinks they’re engaged! Being around his family starts to feel all too real. But how can Naomi choose between the dream she’s always wanted…and the promise of love?

MY THOUGHTS.....

I enjoyed catching up with the Ebersol family in this return visit to Miller's Creek, and I loved learning about Naomi Ebersol's secret wish to attend art school. Taking a job as a nanny to the five Schrock boys would help with the finances, but it also meant being in close contact with their widowed father Josias. It didn't take long to see the special chemistry between them and suddenly, both of their lives were in complete disarray! Josias never wanted to marry again, Naomi yearned for a future away from Miller's Creek, and God seemed to have His own plans. Was a temporary solution becoming something more?

The Amish Nanny's Secret has all the feels: sweet romance that made my heart happy, five adorable little boys who made me laugh out loud, and a reminder that our plans are not always God's plans! Author Amy Lillard shares a heartwarming story for all who enjoy Amish fiction.

Girl Lost (The King Legacy #1) by Kate Angelo

ABOUT THE BOOK

Luna Rosati found acceptance and a family during childhood, but when she became pregnant at seventeen, she gave the baby up for adoption and left without a word. Now a CIA counterintelligence officer, Luna wants to reconcile her fractured sense of self by finding the only blood family she has left--the teenage daughter she's never met. Her mentor, Stryker, promises to reveal her daughter's identity, but first Luna must meet him in the old neighborhood, the last place she wants to be. Then Stryker is captured.  
  
Special Agent Corbin King changed his surname to escape the shadow of his convicted father serving a life sentence. When he runs into Luna, the object of his failed teenage romance, the two must put their pasts aside and work together toward a greater mission. But when they encounter a kidnapping, missing bodies, and murder, the secrets Corbin and Luna are keeping from one another are only the beginning of the threat they face with more than their own lives at stake.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

Calling all fans of romantic Christian suspense. Kate Angelo has a compelling story that you don't want to miss!

Luna Rosati's determination to find the daughter she gave up turns to devastation when her only link suddenly disappears and she's forced to accept help from the one person she wants to avoid! Realistic characters and a riveting plot kept me turning the pages, but my favorite part was the faith message in both Luna and Corbin's stories. Their moral compasses may have altered, but second chances were possible! Angelo's source of inspiration? Luke 15:3-7 reminds us that our Heavenly Father is always seeking His lost children.

Kidnapping, evil, and betrayal---Girl Lost is a roller-coaster ride with surprising twists, heart-tugging emotions, and intense danger. It starts with a bang, and the explosive drama continues until the final page! I look forward to more exciting suspense from Kate Angelo and the next thrilling story in The King Legacy series.

MY THOUGHTS.....

My granddaughter is almost twelve years old, and I find myself experiencing many of the emotions that I felt when I was raising my daughter. Each generation of teenage girls faces different challenges! My teenage years were certainly different from my daughter's, and now, there are even greater hurdles for young girls growing up in 2025. Is there a question why my concerns seem even more troubling now? 

Author Kari Kampakis packs a wallop in the 205 pages of IS YOUR DAUGHTER READY? Be sure to grab a highlighter for the abundance of enlightening statements and thought-provoking comments that need to be notated. I also loved that each of the ten chapters concludes with the same special sections: Truths Worth Packing, Questions to Unpack, and A Prayer to Lighten Your Load. There is also a special Appendix with 25 Talking Points for Hard Conversations. Talk about inspiration!

There are ten chapters, but one was especially relevant to me. 

Chapter 7 focuses on Connection---Grow Your Connection as You Lose Control

"Our daughters don't care what we know until they know that we care."

If you are a mother, grandmother, aunt, or merely a loving friend, grab a copy of IS YOUR DAUGHTER READY?" Kampakis offers encouragement as you strive to mold a young woman who is equipped to navigate her future. I am so grateful for the chance to review this book!

Meet Me at the Christmas Cottage (Jonathon Island, #6) by Christen Krumm & Susan May Warren

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Jonathon Island series is created by USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Susan May Warren.

When a cynical novelist and charming military doctor become accidental roommates over Christmas, 'tis the season for unexpected romance!

Bronte Parker is a successful very-much-non-romance writer who gave up on her own happily-ever-after long ago. With a looming deadline and a bad case of writer's block, Bronte decides to rent a quaint cottage on Jonathon Island for some holiday peace and quiet. But her plans for solitude are completely sleighed when the cottage owner's brother, Jonah, shows up unexpectedly. Now Bronte is stuck sharing eggnog, Christmas movies, and way too much time with her new accidental roommate—and the last thing she needs is a distraction.

After two years away, Army surgeon Jonah White is finally going to be home for the holidays. And he’s got a big decision to make about his future—something he needs to talk through with his parents. Except, much to his surprise, he arrives to find his family gone on a tropical Christmas cruise and a seriously uptight author in their place. And thanks to a blizzard, he can’t even escape.

Determined to make the best of it, Jonah pushes Bronte out of her comfort zone and tries to help her overcome her writer’s block by showing her a real Christmas—something foster kid Bronte has never had. And as the unexpected pair are swept up in the magical Jonathon Island Christmas festivities, they start to envision a different kind of life for themselves…one where maybe a happily-ever-after could actually exist.

But with a looming book deadline and their temporary living situation nearing an end, can they be brave enough to rewrite their expectations about love and family?

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

I've enjoyed this series, and now, I've had a chance to celebrate the holidays on Jonathon Island! Imagine a blizzard outside, two very opposite people on the inside, and no way to escape each other's company. One person only wanted a quiet place to finish her book, and the other longed for the joy of Christmas with family. Grumpy versus cheerful. How would this scenario play out?

I loved Bronte and Jonah! From a hilarious first meeting to intriguing snippets of their pasts, from heartwarming awareness until a perfect ending, this is a book you don't want to miss! I was engaged with the characters, the Christmas holidays, and the budding romance. My only reservation? This is the last book in the Jonathon Island series!

I recommend "Meet Me at the Christmas Cottage" to all who enjoy contemporary Christian romance. Kudos to Christen Krumm and Susan May Warren!

The Aviator's Lady (Ladies of the Wilderness, #3) by Gabrielle Meyer

ABOUT THE BOOK

Two Generations. One destiny.

In 1863, Matthew Merrick is desperate to prove to the world that he isn’t a mistake. Sent to the untamed Minnesota wilderness to oversee a pivotal land treaty, he finds his resolve tested—and his heart captured—by the daughter of an Ojibwe chief. But when his ambitions clash with those of Jacob Bailey, a fierce rival determined to shape his own fate, both men are drawn into a web of choices that will echo for decades...

Half a century later in 1917, the world is at war, but for stunt pilot Cade Bailey, the true battle is at home. Haunted by the mistakes of his past, he returns to northern Minnesota—not just to save his family’s struggling farm, but to find redemption in the wilderness he loves. Heiress Emma Merrick has wealth and privilege—but the freedom she longs for remains out of reach. Bound by family secrets and unyielding expectations, she jeopardizes everything to be a Red Cross nurse on the homefront, and dreams of learning to fly to bring aid to her patients.

When Cade’s reckless courage collides with Emma’s fierce determination, neither will be the same. But as their families’ secrets unravel, and the choices of their ancestors return to haunt them, they will be swept into a whirlwind of consequences that neither can escape, risking everything to chart their own course.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

Wow! This is another example of Gabrielle Meyer's masterful storytelling! The Aviator's Lady is the third book in The Ladies of the Wilderness series, and it's now my favorite of the three. This dual timeline story spans the periods of 1863 and 1917, as the Bailey and Merrick families navigate perilous journeys. Cade Bailey and Emma Merrick share a beautiful connection in 1917, until the hurdles appear insurmountable and happy endings don't seem possible. Discouraging, yes, but even more troubling when it appears that many of the problems were instigated in 1863 by Emma's grandfather, Matthew. Meyers. His story is a powerful reminder that bad choices can lead to devastating consequences many years later.

I loved the history that is shared in this book. Matthew's actions regarding land treaties with the Indians set the stage for the hurtful circumstances that filter down to Emma and Cade as they face the reality of World War 1. Meyer shares in her author's notes the fictional liberties she chose in weaving fiction with fact. The results? Pure magic!

This book has something for everyone: riveting history, sweet but swoony romance, and an inspirational thread that is powerful without being overpowering! Tissues were often needed, and the epilogue was everything I could have hoped for! I highly recommend The Aviator's Lady to all who enjoy historical Christian romance.

A Song in the Dark by Kimberley Woodhouse

ABOUT THE BOOK

Against the simmering backdrop of the impending WWII, blind virtuoso pianist Chaisley Frappier embarks on a concert tour through a rapidly changing Europe despite the dangers. When she learns that Hitler's escalating regime of injustice is targeting other disabled people, Chaisley realizes she is in a prime position to help those who are threatened reach safety. But the Führer's growing fascination with the celebrated musician endangers her undercover mission and forces her to walk a tightrope between her fame and her calling.

When Rick Zimmerman receives his next assignment from the British Secret Intelligence Service, he's surprised to learn he'll be acting as the personal driver of a world-renowned pianist as she traverses Europe. The role gives him the perfect cover to complete side missions of sabotage and intelligence-gathering, but he soon suspects the brilliant, alluring pianist has secrets of her own. As Chaisley and Rick confront evil at every turn, it will take every bit of faith and courage they possess to triumph over hate--and survive.

Bestselling author Kimberley Woodhouse crafts a stirring story of fighting for hope, love, and justice amid the tumultuous European continent on the brink of war.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

This book is set during the years leading up to World War II, a time when the world shuddered at the mention of Germany and its leader. People were targeted for both their religious beliefs and their disabilities, and it appeared that there was no end to the horror. Kimberley Woodhouse states that this book has been in her mind for two decades, and the research for it made it the most challenging book she'd ever written. I assure you, her efforts were not in vain! I consider A Song in the Dark one of her best books, and the subject matter is as thought-provoking today as it was in 1938. Do we stand by and allow ugliness to overtake our world when a select few are targeted by evil? Can we overcome our complacency, stand up for what is right, and help all of our fellow men?

Amazing characters, a page-turning plot, and a satisfying ending would ordinarily make this a good book, but the faith element and social relevance made it an exceptional read! Chaisley isn't just a renowned pianist who is blind; she is also a genuinely good person who wants to offer light and encouragement to her European fans. Rick isn't just patriotic and courageous; he is also determined to make the world a safer and better place. It isn't surprising that they are drawn to each other, but will they become targets of the evil they are trying to fight?

A Song in the Dark is filled with powerful emotions, dangerous adventure, and infinite inspiration. It is one of my favorite books of the year, and I'll be shocked if there aren't major book awards in its future. I highly recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian fiction.
