This book is packed with phenomenal advice regarding field trips and the power of learning through experience! I enjoyed it.
Jill Eileen Smith has blown it out of the park *again*! Starting out with Joseph as a young man, Smith takes us in a journey into the developing situation of Jacob’s family. Smith thoroughly researched as she always does to present us with a story that is as accurate as you can get. Where there is fine a biblical truth, Smith sticks to it and builds her fictional world around it instead of trying to make the Bible change to fit her narrative. Definitely a recommended read!! I was provided a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.
When thinking of a Cinderella retelling, my mind certainly never went to the world that Chautona Havig has created. Havig has taken something “ordinary” and “mundane” and used her creative genius to form a world brimming with new possibilities. At the start of the book, Havig begins setting the stage with the main characters and we learn who is who. As the plot moves along, Havig does an excellent job of building the world and storyline. The plot moves along at a great pace and the character building is on par. But, this is what I have come to expect from a Havig book! Havig crafts great stories period. While this is not a storyline I would have come up with, at the end, Havig will leave you believing that it is a wonderful real world. That’s the thing with great storytellers - they have the ability to take something no one else would dream of and make an amazing work of art out of it. I received a copy of this book, but was not required to give a positive review. All...
This is another fantastic book by Kimberley Woodhouse! (Honestly, it’s only my second one by her - The Mayflower Bride was my first - but, it’s great nonetheless!!). I loved the way the storylines flowed - each was distinct yet interconnected. I love when historical fiction gets me interested in a period of history, and Mrs Woodhouse has done that with the legend, lore, and history of The Golden Gate Bridge. Mrs Woodhouse did a thorough job of researching the area during the different time periods. The dual timelines are seamless and flow well. The character development is flawless, and the plot line keeps a great, captivating pace. I do have one complaint - I did not get much sleep while reading this book!!! :) it kept me up at night with the “just one more chapter” syndrome. I highly recommend this book, and I am off to find other books by Kimberley Woodhouse! About the Book Book: Bridge of Gold Author: Kimberley Woodhouse Genre: Christian Historical Rel...
