Really Woolly Bible Stories

Take a journey with your child through some of the Bible's most well-known stories. Read about Noah, Abraham, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus and others. Each story demonstrates God's great love and power as the Good Shepherd.

Really Woolly Bible Stories is appropriate for children up to the age of 8. (Approximately) Younger children who can not read will enjoy the illustrations while the older children will enjoy reading the book. The book features a hard cover and thick pages that seem like they would be durable. I liked how each story was followed by a little notation telling where the story could be found in the Bible. I think this would be helpful if you were reading it to a child and you wanted to tell the child more. Each story is presented briefly and obviously can not cover every facet. However, by giving the reference, it gives an opening for parent and child to study more about a particular story if they want to.

Pursuit of Justice by DiAnn Mills

God has a good purpose for everything that happens to those who love him. Or does He? Carr Sullivan is starting to wonder. Three men have turned up dead on his property and he is the prime suspect. The FBI has sent in Special Agent Bella Jordan to investigate Carr, the murders and the possible link to the Spider Rock Treasure hidden in West Texas. Agent Jordan is determined, smart and prides herself on her discernment. She spent the first 15 years of her life in the Runnels County area of West Texas and is thrilled to be the investigation's lead agent. However, when Agent Jordan's past, including the reason she left the area, emerges, she realizes that she can no longer run from the past if she ever wants to embrace the future. Revisiting the past may lead her to the truth, the Spider Rock Treasure and true love – if the killer doesn't get to her first.

Pursuit of Justice by DiAnn Mills is a fast-paced, adventure with high stakes. Both Carr and Bella are grasping for a new, beautiful future while constantly eluding death. The plot consists of mystery, adventure, romance and spirituality. These elements combine to create a story that will keep drawing the reader back until the end. I enjoyed reading this book and I liked the fact that the author wrapped up the loose ends and mysteries. I've read books where the reader is just left to wonder about some things and I much prefer this style.

Walker's Wedding by Lori Copeland

Sarah Livingston wants nothing more than to marry, take care of her husband and have children. No one seems to understand her urgent need for these things. When she happens upon the chance to switch places with an unhappy mail-order bride, she seizes the opportunity. All she knows of Walker McKay is that he was recently injured and wants a wife only so he can produce an heir. Sarah is okay with that. Without too much thought of the future, Sarah travels to Wyoming where she marries Walker McKay and enthusiastically embraces her new life at Spring Grass. Unfortunately, she might not have told the full truth to Walker McKay before she married him. He already distrusts women and when her deception is made known, the future suddenly becomes much more unsure. Will the combination of present and past wounds keep Walker and Sarah apart forever?

I think I smiled from the first chapter of Walker's Wedding to the last. Lori Copeland uses the dialogue and actions of her characters to create humor that amuses the reader and enhances the situations of the characters. I laughed out loud when I read S.H.'s statement in the fifth paragraph of the book. “Yer pa would sit up in his grave and spit if he knew how you were avoiding the altar.” I've heard of people rolling over in their graves, but never sitting up and spitting. That's just an example of some of the amusing dialogue that Copeland uses masterfully. I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romances.

German Enchantment

German Enchantment is a collection of four romantic novellas: Where Angels Camp, Nuremburg Angel, Dearest Enemy and Once a Stranger. Each novella features some sort of attachment to the enchanting German castle of Engelturm.

Where Angels Camp was the first novella in the book and the earliest in time period. A knight and a lady meet, but the lady's family has an allegiance and she is to be a form of payment. The story is short and the romance is sweet, but I felt the characters were underdeveloped. I suppose this is to be somewhat expected as it is a short novella.

In Nuremberg Angel, Comfort, as her name implies, offers comfort to a Hessian soldier who her family is forced to provide housing for. Her own sentiments on the war lean toward the Patriots, yet, she still finds kindness in her heart to offer care to this unwanted man.

In Dearest Enemy, war and fear surrounds Brigetta Linder's life. When she discovers a wounded enemy soldier, she is understandably afraid. However, fear eventually succumbs to her guilt of leaving him to die. What follows is the story of her nursing him back to health and the predictable romance that blossoms. This was my favorite of the four novellas.

In Once A Stranger, Madeline Johns is beautiful, wealthy and enjoys traveling. Meeting Jacob Bruckner was not part of her planned excursion, but when attraction takes hold and Madeline is introduced to a very important part of his life, she finds it harder to leave than she ever thought it would be. There is an very adorable element involving children in this story that I particularly enjoyed.

Overall, German Enchantment is enjoyable if you are looking to read something light and romantic. The stories are pretty predictable, but that is probably the reason that people buy this type of book. I would recommend renting from the library before you buy.
