THE DIGITAL STORY OF NATIVITY – ( or Christmas 2.0 )
Review: a Hope Undaunted by Julie Lessman
A Hope Undaunted by Julie Lessman is the first in the new Winds of Change series. A Hoe Undaunted hits the shelves with with the power of a best seller. You’ll want to get your’s now. You don’t won’t to be the last one among your friends to read this!
Through her characters and excellent setting skills, Lessman has the unique ability to breathe into history. There were times while reading this I wanted to go squeeze my own lemons for lemonade.
This is Katie Rose’s story and the Katie we’ve watched grow up in the previous series(The Daughters of Boston) has embraced all that the roaring twenties had to offer women. She has her list of what would make her life the bees knees and she’s determined to stick to that list –well she is Katie O’Conner and we would expect nothing less from her. And then…
out of her past steps Luck McGee and he may be the only man able to tame Miss O’Conner but can he get her to love him and toss out her life goals?
Entertaining from page one, it’s a nice thick juicy book. Knowing Lessaman’s skill at writing I knew I needed to start reading in the morning because I wouldn’t stop until I was finished. She didn’t disappoint me. I finished the book late that night.
Katie’s story is one not to be missed.
Book provided by Revell for review–but I’m buying my own copy. All of Julie Lessman’s books have a place on my shelf.
Review: Fatal Convitions by Randy Singer
Once again Singer has stepped past the ‘norm’ in Christian fiction tackling the difficult subject of the Muslim religion.
This book made me uncomfortable with it’s semi-acceptance of the Muslim religion. Maybe that is a good thing, and then again maybe not.
One thing I do know is we cannot judge a ‘religion’ in fact, we must not judge at all, but rather be accepting of others belief’s. Can American readers ignore what has been done in the name of Allah though?
Fatal Convictions does keep your attention and you will be turning pages. For this book I’d have to say you’ll have to read and decide for yourself.
From the back cover:
Their two cultures are practically at war, but now he must defend the man everyone thinks is guilty.
The wife of a prominent Muslim leader is brutally murdered shortly after converting to Christianity. Is it a coincidence,k or has honor killing reached the resort towns of America?
Bust with a promising personal-injury case–and his role as a part-time pastor–attorney Alexander Madison isn’t interested in talking the case that every other lawyer is running away from. But deep down, he believes the accused imam is innocent and decides to defend him in the biggest murder case Virginia beach has ever seen.
Soon, a media firestorm, pressure from his church to drop the case, and increasing evidence against his client all make Alex wonder if he’s just made the biggest mistake of his life. When the imanm’s beautiful daughter arrives from Lebanon to help with the case, Alex is torn between his feelings for her and his obligation to his client.
But with a ruthless assassin still on the loose, not only is Alex in for the fight of his career…his life itself may be in jeopardy.
Randy Singer is a critically acclaimed, award-winning author and veteran trial attorney. He and his wife, Rhonda, have two grown children and live in Virginia Beach. Visit Randy’s web site

BLT! Gluten Free Bread of course!
I’m reaping the joys of having my own tiny garden. I picked my first tomato to eat. The first one some creepy crawly thing ate before I picked it. 🙁
Of course if you’re going to have a BLT you need lettuce too, right?
Got that out of the garden as well as some basil. Every try basil on a BLT? It’s really good. Although I couldn’t get Mr. Traditional to try it that way.
A few more shots of my lovely sandwich.
Creative Thursday–Remember the Strips?
It took a lot of time to cut all of these strips, even though I used my friend Diana Z.’s aquuilt. Without that machine I would still be cutting!
I wasn’t quite sure what kind of quilt I would make.
I found a pattern I liked called Crayon Quilt over at www.quiltville.com and decided since I had so many bright colors in my strippy stash I would make that one. So I pulled out the brightest of them all and made my blocks. Then I decided to add the ladybug fabric I had on my shelf to make borders. Yep, can’t leave things alone, I always change them even if it’s the words I just wrote on a page or a recipe! So my quilt isn’t quite the same as the one found on quiltville.com, but I do like it. I think the person I made it for will to. She’s 11 going on 17.
Because the front is so full of color I needed to have something just as fun on the back. I went for the bright neon dots on black. I machine quilted it with pink thread. I like it I wish I was 10 going on 17, because I’d put it on my bed.
