The Prince and the Prodigal

 


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.

Forget and Now Review and Giveaway

This is the first story I have read by Alana Terry and I was blown away! Alana Terry was able to captivate my attention from the beginning to the end.

Aiming For Love Review and Giveaway!

Image
I’ll be honest here: when I first started reading the book, I thought it would be a Robin Hood type of retelling because I did not look at the picture closely or read the description. Completely my fault!!  This was my first book by Mary Connealy, and I have found a new favorite author! In Aiming for Love we are transported back in time to an era when anything could happen. Jo seems a little rough around the edges at first, but as the story progresses, she quickly became a favorite. I love how Mary Connealy touched on subjects and did not make them out to be just any old mountain people. Instead she opened our eyes to a possibility of why people were the way they were in that time period.  From the first time Jo sneaked around to the very last line, I loved this story! I am very excited to see that she will be making this into a trilogy and will be touching on each of the sisters because I want to see how their stories unfold as well! I was provided a copy of this boo...
