Spring Break ended today for me-
I need to hit the books again-- sadly not the "fun" books

I do love my classes though so it is worth it.
You will just see a slowing down of my reading--
Today I chose to download this book-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love how this message was presented! Without lecturing the author shows just how cunning the devil is. Her story explains how little by little we can be led to do his will.

We must be ever so careful!

Everyone needs to read this book-

I am excited to start this one today

What a fun book!

8- Smart Move by Melanie Jacobson

eBook is FREE with PLUS

Spring Break ends in about 9 days for me so I have to get in a much "fun" reading as I can before I have to go back to "textbook" reading :)

This book is a little older, and I was surprised that I hadn't already read it.

However, as my heart, and brain, are ready for a little fun. so I thought this was a great choice.

I love Melanie Jacobson's books and am anxious to start this one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What a fun book!

I love the twist that the voice on the phone, that has become her biggest obstacle, is the man she fell head-over-heals for in an earlier period of her life-- without her knowing that it is the same person.

This makes for great "battle of wits" to see it to the end.

And wait until you meet Sandy's mom--

This book is definitely an enjoyable read!

7- Don't Look Back (You're Not Going That Way!) by Eric D. Richards

Audiobook is FREE with PLUS

My husband and I came home from dinner and asked each other that age-old question of "now what do you want to do?"

While we were deciding, my husband wandered over to the table with the jigsaw puzzle on it. I agreed that working on the puzzle would be a fun way to spend the evening.

But I wanted just a little more-- So I downloaded this talk for us to listen to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IT IS AMAZING!
I am one who looks "back" often. I allow my past to haunt me.
It is not healthy and it is not good. I so want to change.

I highly encourage everyone to listen to it!
It really will help you to " intentionally look forward so the pain of the past doesn't steal the promises of tomorrow."

6- Escape to Everly Manor by Chalon Linton

Audiobook is FREE with PLUS

Holy as You Are was SO GOOD I couldn't stop reading until it was finished-- so I am ready for a new book already-- I told you I was taking advantage of reading as much as I can during Spring Break

In the past I have read a lot of Romantic Suspense. It is one of my most favorite genre's -- however, a couple of years ago I was introduced to Regency Romance and am loving them!

Let's see if I can get anything else done today, besides read :)

Of course, when I listen to audio, I can listen while cleaning, walking, driving, etc...

5- HOLY AS YOU ARE by Christie Gardiner

Audiobook is FREE with PLUS

I am taking online classes to get a Bachelor's degree in University Studies with a minor in Family History Research-- and I am on Spring Break :)

So I am taking full advantage of of reading as much as I can while getting as much housework done as I can.

This is the book I started today--

I love the quote from the book blurb:

"What if ordinary is extraordinary? 
What if you are Holy As You Are?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My heart needed this book- With the rain pouring outside, I sat quietly in my living room with the candles lit, curled up on the couch, allowing this book to bring peace to my soul with the words and messages held within.

I love that the author, herself, read this book to me. She brought out the passion she felt as she wrote this book and conveyed to me the love my Father has for me. As she read I felt a desire to seek out the purpose I am to have at this time of my life.

I also understood the message of the book that even though I feel ordinary, I am truly extraordinary to many as I find and serve them.

Every woman needs to read this book!

4- BLOODLINE by Kathi Oram Peterson

Audiobook is FREE with PLUS

This is the book I downloaded this morning.
I am LOVING IT!

Two years ago I would tell you I did not like audiobooks. If I wasn't reading from an actual page I would get distracted and let my mind wander.

Today I feel completely differently--
I have learned to focus on the book and actually get more done throughout the day.

So far this morning I have listened to 6 chapters-- I have also gone for a walk, done the dishes, worked on a jigsaw puzzle, and gotten ready for the day.

As soon as I finish this post I will turn the book back on, eat lunch, wash the windows in two sets of French doors, vacuum, and start the laundry.

While I don't relish doing housework I can testify that doing it while listening to a good book makes a world of difference!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOVED. LOVED. LOVED. THIS. BOOK!
From the very first page to very end-- I loved it all!
I highly recommend this one!

SAFE HOUSE

by Shannon Symonds

True, it was her prison, but it was also her sanctuary. 

Where can you turn when your house is not safe? 

In a small coastal town in Oregon, Amber and Kelly know the deadliest people sleep down the hall. As they attempt to escape the violent, domineering men in their lives, despair fights against faith. But getting out of these abusive situations is not as easy as it appears. 

As a victim's advocate, Grace James is used to rushing into trouble to save her victims from abuse or assault. And with a handsome officer like Joe Hart at her side, Grace is sure there's nothing she can't do. But an ominous storm brewing on the Oregon horizon is about to change everything-and bring with it dangers and revelations Grace and Joe never expected.

With their lives spiraling out of control, can they have faith that God’s grace will save them?

The Fighting Preacher w/ $50 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway

Behind the Scenes

NEW MOVIE by T. C. Christensen

“THE FIGHTING PREACHER,” is based on the real-life story of Willard and Rebecca Bean. In 1905, Willard became the world middleweight boxing champion, but when Joseph F. Smith asked him to step away from the limelight and serve a 5-year mission to upstate New York, the Beans immediately pack their bags and travel to the east coast. Once there, they find the hatred that existed 90 years prior is still alive and very present.

Utah’s own award-winning producer/director, and master story-teller, T.C. Christensen, once again weaves a tale of action, romance, comedy, and drama in this heartwarming story of a couple that overcomes all odds.

 It is truly a David versus Goliath story, as two people take on an entire town filled with hatred. After 24 years in the community, they eventually become loved and respected by one and all.

In the tradition of Christensen and Remember Films, who brought you 17 Miracles, Ephraim’s Rescue, Love Kennedy, and Cokeville Miracle; this new film brings elements that make the audience laugh, cry, and most importantly, cheer the underdog.

Scheduled for theatrical release July 24, 2019.

Dinner at the Bean's

Message from the Director:
There are all kinds of reasons why I wanted to make this film: It's a great story from Church history that is hardly known, with terrific conflict and resolve but at the heart of it all, I mainly wanted to make The Fighting Preacher because Willard and Rebecca Bean are wonderful, stalwart examples that throughout their story are funny and entertaining. Just what a movie should be!

A Monster Like me

A MONSTER LIKE ME

by Wendy S. Swore

Sophie is a monster expert. Thanks to her Big Book of Monsters and her vivid imagination, Sophie can identify the monsters in her school and neighborhood. Clearly, the bullies are trolls and goblins. Her nice neighbor must be a good witch, and Sophie's new best friend is obviously a fairy. But what about Sophie?

She's convinced she is definitely a monster because of the "monster mark" on her face. At least that's what she calls it. The doctors call it a blood tumor. Sophie tries to hide it but it covers almost half her face. And if she's a monster on the outside, then she must be a monster on the inside, too.

Being the new kid at school is hard. Being called a monster is even harder. Sophie knows that it's only a matter of time before the other kids, the doctors, and even her mom figure it out. And then her mom will probably leave—just like her dad did.

Because who would want to live with a real monster?

Inspired by real events in the author's life, A Monster Like Me teaches the importance of believing in oneself, accepting change, and the power of friendship.

Hard Times and Holy Places

HARD TIMES AND HOLY PLACES

by Kristin Warnen Belcher

“Trials and difficulties can, if we let them, become holy places — 

places where we can feel the power of the Atonement in our lives. 

Our struggles can be consecrated to our good and growth, 

and you and I can become more like Christ.” — Kris Belcher

When the only remaining sight she had left began to fade, Kris Belcher knew her cancer had returned. First diagnosed with bi-lateral retinoblastoma at the age of seven months, she had feared blindness since childhood.

Ironically, the treatment that had saved her life as a baby was responsible for the radiation-induced cancer that again threatened her life as an adult.

Now a wife and mother of two young sons, she faced her greatest challenge. Five major surgeries within the space of five months left her physically and emotionally devastated — and completely blind.

Yet during that horrendous time, Kris discovered moments of spiritual strengthening that became holy places in her life — places where she could feel the purifying, transforming power of Christ that enabled her to survive and to learn how to live in a world of darkness. 

Compelling, honest, and at times humorous, her story and the insights she gained will help others find hope and healing in the midst of their own trials.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kris Belcher is one of my super heroes! 
I completely adore her so very much!
Her story is amazing and inspiring!
I highly recommend this book!

Love at Lakewood Med

LOVE AT LAKEWOOD MED

by TJ Amberson

Savannah Drake would be thrilled about starting her final year of medical school if it weren’t for one thing: she has to spend a month working in the emergency room with cold, aloof Dr. Wesley Kent as her mentor.

When her first day in the ER proves to be a humiliating disaster, Savannah is ready to swear off emergency medicine forever. 

Gradually, though, she finds that the unpredictable, emotional experience of caring for patients in the emergency room is affecting her far differently than she expected—and Dr. Kent turns out to be anything but the arrogant attending physician that she assumed him to be. 

But just when Savannah finally admits to herself that she is falling for Dr. Kent, she learns that things at the hospital are not all what they seem. Faced with a seemingly impossible choice, Savannah must decide between her future career and everything that she has come to care so much about.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This book speaks to my heart!
Not only is it a sweet romance, but it also has compassion in emergency medicine, and trying to do what is right even though it might come out all wrong. A wonderful read!

Wager for a Wife

WAGER FOR A WIFE

by Karen Tuft

William Barlow's life has been forever altered: his estranged father is dead, and William has inherited the title of Viscount Farleigh. Along with the title comes a neglected estate, an enormous amount of gambling debt, and one astounding acquisition that will turn William's world upside down . . .

It is her first London Season, and Lady Louisa Hargreaves could not be more pleased. She has attracted the attention of the Earl of Kerridge, and the two are on the cusp of an official betrothal.

That is, until she learns of a generations-old family debt: her grandfather gambled her hand in marriage and lost, and now Louisa must pay the price. She will marry not the earl but a man she just met, who has taken her freedom in one fell swoop.

Even as she struggles to understand the handsome and aloof man she is to wed, Louisa is irresistibly drawn to him—and he to her. 

But she soon realizes he is harboring secrets, and as her wedding day approaches, she must discover what her future husband is hiding before she makes the gravest mistake of her life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What a fun book! I so loved it!

I especially loved the twist of the "wager."

I cannot even imagine marrying for anything except love.

but not until secrets are kept, discovered, and resolved in a most wonderful way. Some will even surprise you.

This is truly a book not to be missed!

Chasing Fireflies

CHASING FIREFLIES

by Taylor Dean

My sisters think I'm crazy.

But, I've never forgotten the mysterious woman from my childhood who told me Paul is the name of my one true love. She told me to search far and wide for him.

I haven't stopped looking ever since.

When I stumble across an article about a successful American entrepreneur named Paul who lives and works in China, I'm intrigued. When the opportunity to teach English in China presents itself on the same day, I know it's not a coincidence.

It's destiny.

My sisters say I'm chasing a dream.

Just like the fireflies we tried to catch on the warm summer evenings of our youth, the dream seems beyond my grasp. Will my quest for the elusive Paul always be just short of fulfillment?

My sisters tell me it's a fool's errand.

Until I remind them of the day we saw the Red Bird.
The memory silences them. The Red Bird Incident remains inarguable--and proves my search for Paul is not a silly fantasy.

I will find Paul . . . I will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WOW!  I LOVED THIS BOOK!

I especially loved the fact that a lot of the story is based on true experiences that happened to the author's daughter while she was living in China teaching English for a semester.

And there is a "stairwell" scene that I so want everyone to read!

New friends, travel experiences, tender feelings, and an ending with a wonderful twist, makes this a book that really is AMAZING!

Remember, Remember, Remember

REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER

by Clint Pulver

In a world that seems to move too fast with the constant demands of life, social-media consumption, and worldly temptations at every step, it can become so easy to forget the spiritual promptings, revelations, and faith-promoting moments we have had in our lives—moments when the Spirit has whispered peace to our heart, a prayer was answered, or a miracle was witnessed.

In this hilarious and inspiring talk, Clint Pulver teaches about the simple but powerful strength youth and adults alike can receive in moments of fear and uncertainty by simply taking the time to be still and, as the scriptures remind us, to remember, remember, remember what we know and how we know it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I LOVE listening to speakers like this!

A lot of humor, but also a lot of teaching-

This is a fantastic talk! I highly recommend it!
