Lynn Austin does it again. A historical fiction book with a Christian undercurrent. This story about WWII in the Netherlands was everything I expected. It deals with how Christians reacted and quietly fought back against the Nazi regime.
It is a Christian book and brought up some interesting thoughts about decisions that were made.
I read an ARC version and the editing was already very well done. I would definitely recommend this book if you enjoy Christian historical fiction.
Tessa Afshar is an author that has not written a book yet that I haven't enjoyed. This book has not disappointed me.
This wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it was good. It had Biblical persons mentioned in the book but they were not major characters. This book was set in Biblical times but the characters, though well developed, were fictional except possibly one.
This story is part mystery and part romance. The characters were well developed. Some items, while making the story interesting were not quite believable. This story did a good job of showing true Christian faith and beliefs without being preachy.
I would recommend this book and give it a 4 out of 5-star rating.
This is the first book I've read by Rachel Scott McDaniel and I hope it's not the last.
This book is part mystery and part love story. It is a Christian book and that quality is shown very well. Not overbearing and not understated, just right.
The copy I read was an ARC so I'm hoping the few editing errors are fixed.
I enjoyed how well the main characters were developed. Quite believable. The story flowed well also. I enjoyed the story and I think you will too. It was an easy read.
I give it a 4 out of 5 star review.
I was happy to be chosen to read the ARC or Under the Bayou Moon, a story set in the Louisianna bayou in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
The story was well told and you could actually see the setting in your mind. The story flowed well and the main characters were well developed. This is mostly a love story with a little mystery thrown in.
This is published by Revell, a Christian publisher, but I wouldn't call this a Christian book per se. It was a good, clean book, but not much reference to beliefs or prayer or such.
I enjoyed the book and would recommend it. I give it a 3 out of 5-star rating.
I have enjoyed all these true colors, true crime books, some more than others. This is one of my favorites. The characters were believable. The story flowed well. The story, though gruesome at times was not told in a gorey manner.
This book shows the importance of trusting God and not your feelings. It isn't preachy but does show what happens if you do or do not trust God.
If you enjoy a good mystery/crime story that is clean and a non-preachy Christian book, this is for you. I had a hard time putting this book down and it had a satisfying ending. You won't be disappointed.
I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters, they felt real. I'm not sure if the plotline was truly believable but it was interesting. It was a new concept/storyline and I enjoyed it.
The story flowed well. The editing was well done. It is a Christian book and it showed. It is not preachy but shows how faith makes a difference.
I would recommend this book to my friends. I give it a solid 4 out of 5-star rating.
I enjoy novels by Susie Finkbeiner and this is no exception. Her books are a bit different from the ones I normally read. They usually touch on historical events but they also are usually non-linear time-wise. I don't mind this but this book jumped between the main characters and 3 different times so it was easy to become confused even though the headings told who and when.
The things I liked about this book are it kept my interest. It gave a view of the 1970s that was different from giving 2 viewpoints. It is a good, clean book. The characters are believable and interesting. And lastly, it's set in my home state.
What I didn't like is that it is listed as a Christian book but so many opportunities were missed and it still would not have been preachy.
I give this a 3 out of 5-star review.
