First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books and participants share the first line from a nearby
book.
Today I'm sharing the first lines from What If It's True? by Charles Martin:
"He is stumbling now. A trail of blood marks His serpentine path on the narrow street out of the city."
Have you read this book?
What are you reading this weekend?
Have a great weekend! Happy reading!
About the Book:
With the same depth, sensitivity, and emotion that has made his novels beloved to millions, Charles Martin helps us engage the fundamental principles of our faith in new and inspiring ways.
Years ago, Martin cracked open his Bible and began wrestling with a few fundamental questions. He asked, “What if every single word of Scripture is absolutely true and I can trust it? How do I respond? Something in me should change, but what? How?” This book is the result of that exploration.
Writing as our guide, he uses a storyteller’s imagination to illuminate key moments from the Scriptures, primarily from the life and ministry of Jesus. In addition, Martin shares key moments from his own journey as a disciple—and bondservant—of Christ and a mentor to others. The result is a striking exploration of truth that helps us not just think differently, but live differently. Today.
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteOn my blog I am sharing the first couple of lines from Delicate Balance by Brooke St. James: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/04/04/first-line-friday-82/. It's a really sweet book I highly recommend. Currently, I am reading A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer, so I will share the first line from chapter 7.
"'Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.' Willie gave a little jolt. The preacher read on, but the second verse of Galatians 6 seemed to bounce off the wood-planked walls and echo in Willie's mind."
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!
I haven't read either of those. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteMy first lines are friom The Artful Match by Jennifer Delamere:
Venezuala, August, 1881
Julia Bernay Stephenson watched as her father carefully stirred honey into his coffee. For years she had thought he was dead, and now, even though it had been a week since she’d found him alive, she still looked at him with wondering eyes.
Sounds very intriguing! Happy reading!
DeleteHappy Friday! I'm sharing from Up from the Sea by Amanda Dykes on my blog today. This is the first line from my current read, In the Shadow of Croft Towers by Abigail Wilson:
ReplyDelete"I often wonder what my life would have been like if I had never learned the truth."
I've heard lots of good recommendations about In the Shadow of Croft Towers!

ReplyDeleteOn my blog I shared the first line from Suzanne Woods Fisher's upcoming release, On a Summer Tide.
My current read is The Theory of Happily Ever After by Kristin Billerbeck so I'll share the first line from that:
"Life is filled with irony."
Happy Reading!
