The Farmer's Marriage Bargain (Triple C Ranch, #4) by Heidi Main

ABOUT THE BOOK

They agreed to a practical marriage

But love never goes as planned…

Raising three children alone was never part of the plan, but after losing her husband, Emma Bailey is doing the best she can. Until she discovers that she can’t afford the medication her youngest child needs. Suddenly, her late husband’s best friend comes to the rescue. Carter McCaw promised he’d always watch over the family and the farm. But when he proposes a marriage of convenience, Emma’s not so sure. It seems like the perfect solution…until loves blooms between them and complicates everything. 

MY THOUGHTS.....

Carter McCaw never planned to marry, and young widow Emma Bailey had already married the only man she'd ever love. Why would either of them consider marrying the other?

The Farmer's Marriage Bargain is a relevant reflection of our society today. One of Emma's children needs medical treatment that Emma can't afford, and the only solution requires a great sacrifice. Yes, there could be a marriage, but it would be in name only! Aww, the best laid plans of mice and men...!

Author Heidi Main takes us back to the Triple C Ranch in a heartwarming romance filled with fantastic characters and realistic challenges. I admired Carter and Emma's willingness to put the needs of others above their own, and their "friends to more" and "marriage of convenience" relationship offered many swoon-worthy moments! The Farmer's Marriage Bargain is an engaging story of love, commitment, hope, and faith. I recommend it to all who enjoy contemporary Christian fiction.

The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep: A Story of God’s Redemptive Love by Hannah E. Harrison

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep is a humorous and heartwarming picture book about God's unconditional love. This story beautifully captures the essence of Psalm 23, showing the importance of trusting God, our Good Shepherd, with our lives.

Meet George, a silly and sometimes stubborn sheep living happily under the care of a Good Shepherd. But when shearing time comes, George decides it’s time to make a run for it, and soon finds himself on a journey full of unexpected disappointment, discomfort, and danger. Ultimately, he finds rescue and learns why he really does need a shepherd.

The Bible is full of references to sheep and shepherds, but what does it mean to be a good shepherd? And how are we like sheep? The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep uses an unforgettable character and riveting story to bring biblical truth to life for kids and illustrate the many comforting and loving attributes of God.

The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep is perfect for:

• Children ages 4 and up
• Family devotions and bedtime reading
• Discussions about the meaning of Psalm 23, the parable of the lost sheep, and how God is always with us
• Sunday school lessons and church libraries
• Easter baskets, baptism or First Communion gifts, birthday gifts, and other gift-giving opportunities

MY THOUGHTS.....

I loved this fun story about a stubborn little sheep named George and the kind shepherd who saved him. The Good Shepherd and the Stubborn Sheep is filled with bright, colorful illustrations of cuddly sheep, a frightening wolf, and a protective shepherd dedicated to protecting his flock but its real charm comes from the entertaining and inspiring story. Children may laugh at George's antics, but they'll also learn about guidance and protection.

Isn't this a sweet picture? The shepherd cares for the sheep and he watches over them!

Our good shepherd cares for us, and He's always watching over us!

I couldn't believe it!

I hadn't listened. 

I'd run away. 

And still, he rescued me!

Me---a helpless, lost sheep covered in muck!

I'd never been so happy, or so grateful!

This is so powerful to me because this little sheep personifies mankind. We don't listen, and we often run away. We are helpless, lost, and covered in muck but He still rescues us! He considers us worthy!

This book targets children, but it's a fantastic choice for the entire family. Read it with your children, discuss the importance of rules and obedience, and compare George's story to the biblical concepts found in the parable of the lost sheep and the 23rd Psalm. Kudos to author and illustrator Hannah E. Harrison!

He's a good Shepherd. 

     He's MY Shepherd.

          And I'll follow him for all of my days.

I appreciate that the last page shares the 23rd Psalm! 

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS BOOK

• It's perfect for the upcoming Easter season! 
• It's a cute story based on Psalm 23!
• Perfect for children but this grandmother loved it also!
• Hannah E. Harrison wrote this book and she also illustrated it! She had a vision and she shared it in every way!

A Pocketful of Wonder: 50 Hands-On Adventures for Kids to Discover God's Creation by Amanda Dykes

ABOUT THE BOOK

Invite Kids to Delight in the Wonder All around Them

In a world increasingly dependent upon screens and technology, it's as crucial as it is countercultural to help kids capture the natural joys and treasures each day holds. Written and illustrated by mom of four, former teacher, and award-winning author Amanda Dykes, this family-friendly field guide offers fifty low-prep or no-prep hands-on activities that invite children and their caregivers to spot the wonders of God's creation. Taking a multisensory approach, each entry

· incorporates physical activity, art, music, poetry, exploration, Scripture, and prayer
· appeals to a vast array of personalities, interests, learning types, and abilities
· offers tools to see and magnify the meaning God has woven into this world
· fills little hearts with hope while pointing to a Creator who loves them very much

Small in size but big in impact, A Pocketful of Wonder is an adventure-filled guide that encourages parents, caregivers, and young children to see and explore our amazing world.

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Christian Book |

MY THOUGHTS.....

I've learned that this author's name on a book cover guarantees a beautiful work of fiction, but Amanda Dykes has taken a new direction. She's written a non-fiction book that caregivers can share with the children in their lives. I had the chance to preview a short excerpt, and I am captivated by what I've read so far!


This book begins with the words "In a land full of storybook wonder...", and I discovered many years ago the many wonders found between the pages of a book! Reading became my passion, but I also experienced the joy of playing outside until it was too dark to see, pretending to be a kidnapped princess, or using God's creation to create dolls out of hollyhock flowers. Our family owned a b&w TV, but who wanted to watch television when you could do these things?

A Pocketful of Wonder is divided into themed sections, topics, and entries. Each of the 50 entries has five elements labeled the 5 P'S: Pause, Ponder, Pray, Play, and Pair. Dykes offers prompts and suggestions for using these elements and there's also a Bible verse that connects God's Word with that day's activities. I especially love this!

The timing of the publication for this fantastic resource couldn't be more perfect, as Spring and Summer are great times for children to step away from their computers and video games! Grab a copy of A Pocketful of Wonder, enjoy the months ahead, and teach your children about the wonders of God's creation!

I received a complimentary excerpt from the publisher. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.

The Peacemaker (A Mifflin County Mystery, 2) by Wanda E. Brunstetter

ABOUT THE BOOK

An Unresolved Mystery Holds an Amish Community in Limbo

In book two of A Mifflin County Mystery series, Rosa Petersheim’s disappearance continues to cause suspicion and pain to swirl in the Big Valley.
 
Ada’s best friend, Rosa, disappeared a year ago and still has not been found. In their grief and confusion, Ada and Rosa’s boyfriend, Ephraim, have grown very close. But some in the community feel Ephraim is responsible for Rosa’s disappearance. Now Rosa’s younger sister is making accusations against Ephraim that can’t be true, and he pulls away from Ada, feeling betrayed. A fire set by an arsonist might finally be the thing to reveal secrets that have long been dividing this community of friends and family. But will it be too late for love between the peacemaker and the suspect?

MY THOUGHTS.....

Rosa Petersheim's disappearance was first introduced in The Protector, and it's still an issue in The Peacemaker. Her family and friends don't know what happened to their beloved Rosa. Did she leave voluntarily, or was she taken against her will? Is she still alive? If so, why hasn't she made her presence known?

So much grief and pain have been experienced in the past year, and no one has suffered more than Ada Detwiler, Rosa's best friend, and Ephraim Peight, Rosa's boyfriend. Author Wanda E. Brunstetter poignantly describes their feelings and the uncertainty of the entire Amish community but hope and trust have never been lost. Isn't this a true representation of the Amish faith?

This is a must-read for fans of Amish fiction, and mystery lovers will love the unanswered questions about Rosa. The Peacemaker is a wonderful addition to the Mifflin County Mystery series, and Brunstetter shows why she is known as "Amish Country's Most Beloved Storyteller"!

Courting Daniel's Daughter (Daniel's Daughters, Book 1) by Mindy Steele

ABOUT THE BOOK

Jesse Plank promised to keep a secret. A secret that drove him away from his home eight years ago. But when his father is injured, Jesse must return to help provide for his family. Finding Catherine still the beauty he remembered might convince him to stay.

Becoming Amish wasn’t the same as being born Amish. Thankfully for Catherine Raber, her terrible school years are behind her and life is looking up. That was until the last person she ever wanted to see again arrived in Miller’s Creek. Worse, her father just gave him a job.

  

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

Have you ever met a character that you hated to say goodbye to? Four years ago, I found one of the best fictional heroes ever, and now I get a reunion! Author Mindy Steele takes readers back to Miller's Creek for another intriguing tale with Daniel Raber, his wife Hannah, and the three little girls first introduced in "His Amish Wife's Hidden Past." Those little girls are now grown, and two sons have joined the family, but the core values of this family remain the same. They love each other deeply and are fully committed to serving God!

I'm thrilled that Steele has dedicated a new series to Daniel and Hannah's daughters. This first book focuses on Caroline Raber and a young Amish man who has just returned to Miller's Creek. Jesse Plank left under a cloud of doubt and suspicion, and Caroline has trust issues, but is it possible that they might find a future together? Sweet romance, hidden secrets, and a light mystery add to its appeal, but this story's true strength comes from this Amish family's hope, faith, and unconditional love. Courting Daniel's Daughter kept me fully engaged and eagerly turning the pages. Now I wait, somewhat impatiently, for the next book in this Daniel's Daughters series!

Seeking Evil (Hallowed Halls #3) by Mary Alford

ABOUT THE BOOK

When BAU Agent Sierra Parker's car dies in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, she breaks a critical rule by catching a ride with a kindly stranger. This decision leads her straight into the lair of serial killer, where she discovers she isn't the first victim. Dozens of barrels contain the remains of those who went before her, and none of them escaped. Can Sierra outwit the seasoned killer to save her life, or will she become the latest victim buried in a barrel?

The last Agent Zeke London heard from Sierra was when she told him she needed to get away to figure things out between them. That was over a week ago and his calls have been met with radio silence. Can he do the impossible and locate Sierra in the middle of the mountains before it's too late?

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

I always enjoy this author's romantic suspense novels, but this book takes it to another level! It is an intense story that kept me turning the pages to discover a serial killer's identity and determine the motives that spurred the actions. It didn't take long for me to think it was an older man named Henry until another possibility emerged. Who was "T"? Was more than one demented person involved?

I was drawn to the sweet but troubled romance between two FBI agents, but the psychological aspects were the real attention-grabbers. What causes someone to kill not once, but over and over again? Can they receive forgiveness and redemption? Do they deserve to be forgiven?

Seeking Evil is a page-turning, nail-biting, and often gut-wrenching story of danger, survival, and an overpowering will to live. I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.

His Unforgettable Bride (Bride Ships: New Voyages #4) by Patti Stockdale & Jody Hedlund

ABOUT THE BOOK

A pickpocket turned lady and a prince with a forgotten past find love in the most unexpected place…

Juliet Dash, orphan and former pickpocket, yearns to leave her troubled past behind. So when she arrives in British Columbia and takes a respectable job working for a pair of society sisters who offer to give her etiquette lessons, she’s one step closer to that dream. But when an unexpected encounter with an unconscious man turns her world upside down, Juliet must choose between her heart and her aspirations.

Weary of the pressure of royal life, Prince Henry Graighton longs for solace and anonymity. But when tragedy strikes and his brother winds up dead, Henry finds himself thrust into the role of heir apparent, leaving him to struggle with the weight of his grief and unwanted responsibility. And when Henry is kidnapped, he narrowly escapes with his life...but loses his memories in the process. In his darkest hour, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of Juliet, his savior and the key to unlocking his forgotten past.

With danger lurking at every turn and the weight of Henry’s royal duties looming over them, can their budding romance withstand the trials that lie ahead, or will Juliet be forced to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of Henry’s kingdom?

AMAZON     

MY THOUGHTS.....

I loved this story! His Unforgettable Bride is part Cinderella, part Prince and the Pauper, with a slight nod to Pygmalion/My Fair Lady! Juliet Dash longs to put being a thief behind her, and amnesia has robbed Gray of his past. Is her new job as a servant the path to Juliet's redemption? Will Gray's attraction for the beautiful Juliet help him make new memories?

This is a fantastic conclusion to the Bride Ships: New Voyages series. There's electrifying chemistry between Juliet and Gray, a mystery concerning Gray's true identity, and a special bond between Juliet and her society employers, Liby and Tabitha. Could these sisters make her "a proper young lady who never uttered Holy Moses, dad-blamed, or snakes alive"? Am I the only one reminded of Professor Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle? Author Patti Stockdale even shares intriguing etiquette tips from the mid 1800s at the beginning of each chapter!

His Unforgettable Bride is a captivating story filled with history, romance, and multiple surprises. I recommend it to all who enjoy historical Christian romance, and I applaud this successful partnership between authors Patti Stockdale and Jody Hedlund!

Green Pastures (The Amish of Shepherd's Hill, #1) by Patricia Johns

ABOUT THE BOOK

Tabitha Schrock's return to Lancaster County shakes the foundations of her family and community. After her departure during rumspringa and a recent divorce, Tabitha faces the challenge of reintegrating into Amish society while pursuing her dream of working as a veterinarian. Meanwhile, her sister Amanda, whose own prospects were dimmed by Tabitha's leaving Shepherd's Hill, decides to seize her chance at love by pursuing a man with a shadowed past. And their youngest sister, Rose, despite her beauty and romantic hopes, faces the harsh realities of matrimony, grappling with the weight of vows made before Gott and her community.

As the sisters navigate the intricacies of love, faith, and tradition, they are bound by their commitment to uphold their Amish way of life. But as they strive to keep their promises, how much are they willing to sacrifice to remain true to themselves and their community?

AMAZON     BARNES & NOBLE

MY THOUGHTS.....

Three sisters and their somewhat cantankerous father are the primary focus of Green Pastures, but this isn't a typical Amish story. Tabitha Schrock left her Amish faith to marry an Englischer, but her divorce has brought her back to Shepherd's Hill. She's even been welcomed back into the community and permitted by the bishop to serve as the local veterinarian. A female Amish veterinarian? Uncommon, but there's more! Tabitha's sister Amanda longs for a husband and home but she's given up hope and her other sister has personal problems also. Rose's marriage isn't what it should be but how could she ever go against her marriage vows?

Author Patricia Johns is known for sweet Amish fiction but this story features so much more! It has well-defined characters, realistic family dynamics, a special Amish community, and the promise of romance. Will Amanda's longing for a husband overshadow her better judgment? Would she really consider bringing Menno Weaver into the Schrock family?

I was captivated by the endearing courtship of Amanda and Menno, and I loved the support and encouragement these three sisters shared. If you enjoy stories with hope, faith, and second chances, you will want to read Green Pastures. I can't wait for another Shepherd's Hill visit!

Shattered Sanctuary (The Erin Delaney Mysteries, #1) by Nancy Mehl

ABOUT THE BOOK

Grappling with the aftermath of a tragic incident that altered her life, ex-police officer and bestselling mystery author Erin Delaney finds solace in the tranquility of a cabin nestled deep in the Smoky Mountains. But her newfound peace is shattered when cries pierce the night, hinting at a haunting presence lurking in the woods. When local police chief Adrian Nightengale seeks her help with a baffling murder case, she is thrust back into the world of crime solving. As they delve into the investigation, Erin's intuition reveals chilling truths about the killer's motives and methods.

Joined by the enigmatic Kaely Quinn-Hunter, a former FBI behavioral analyst, Erin not only embarks on a quest to stop a merciless serial killer but also confronts the ghosts of her past. In a race against time, Erin must defeat her own demons while outmaneuvering a cunning killer or risk becoming the next victim in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

In this propulsive series starter, bestselling author Nancy Mehl steals readers away to the perilous Tennessee town of Sanctuary, setting the stage for an action-packed mystery that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

It's happened again! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to learn the identity of a serial killer responsible for a surge of murders in Sanctuary, Tennessee. Who was killing young women and leaving them, clad in white with an angel figurine in their hands? What evil was lurking in the beautiful Smoky Mountains?

Shattered Sanctuary introduces ex-police officer Erin Delaney and Police Chief Adrian Nightingale, along with the return of FBI profiler Kaely Quinn-Hunter. I loved seeing Kaely in action as she worked to find the killer, counsel Erin in her struggles with PTSD, and also keep both of them alive! Erin was a non-believer so it remained to be seen if Kaely's Christian witness would be strong enough to convince Erin that God was real.

This blend of intriguing characters, thrilling suspense, and Christian faith is captivating; I marvel at Mehl's ability to show the best and worst of mankind! We are reminded that evil exists, but redemption is possible, forgiveness is freely given, and God is all-knowing and ever-present! I recommend Shattered Sanctuary to all who enjoy Christian suspense, and I look forward to more books with Erin and Adrian!

Anticipation Thursday: Courting Daniel's Daughter by Mindy Steele

 Anticipation Thursday!

I'm always excited to learn about a new book by a favorite author. Today, for Anticipation Thursday, I'm sharing a new book scheduled to be released on April 1, 2025. I enjoy Amish fiction, so how can I not be excited about Courting Daniel's Daughter by Mindy Steele?

ABOUT THE BOOK

Jesse Plank promised to keep a secret. A secret that drove him away from his home eight years ago. But when his father is injured, Jesse must return to help provide for his family. Finding Catherine still the beauty he remembered might convince him to stay.

Becoming Amish wasn’t the same as being born Amish. Thankfully for Catherine Raber, her terrible school years are behind her and life is looking up. That was until the last person she ever wanted to see again arrived in Miller’s Creek. Worse, her father just gave him a job.

Why is my anticipation so great?

Mindy Steele's first book was published in 2021 and she hasn't stopped writing since then! In September, 2021, Harlequin Books added one of her books to their Love Inspired Suspense line. This story featured a young woman placed into witness protection who decided that the only way she could protect her three young daughters was to marry her late husband's brother. Hannah's journey to becoming an Amish wife and Daniel Raber's willingness to accept a ready-made family turned into a heartwarming story of faith, love, and devotion. 

Now, we're given the chance to revisit this special family first introduced in His Amish Wife's Hidden Past. 

This is the introduction to Courting Daniel's Daughter. What do you think has happened since Jesse Plank left Miller's Creek eight years ago?

Want to learn more about Jesse, Catherine, and the rest of the Raber family? Courting Daniel's Daughter is the first book in Steele's new series, Daniel's Daughters. It will be released on April 1st.
