Room of Marvels, A Novel by James Bryan Smith

Room of Marvels: A Novel by Smith, James Bryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am speechless!

James Bryan Smith has written the best book on grief!  His understanding after living beyond multiple intimate friends and loved ones crossing over is marvelous.  I did not know what the synopsis of this book was when I downloaded from "Inspired Reads'" website.  I just knew that it had a high rating.  Mr. Smith has taken the time to fully develop a believable circumstance based loosely on his experiences and weaved together a tale that helps one through the grieving process.

After loosing my own mother earlier this year, I did not realize just how to grieve for a Christian loved one whom I will see again some day.  Mr Smith's has written a book outlining a process by which I can be joyous in knowing that  I will spend an eternity celebrating with my loved ones who have gone on before.

Thank You James Bryan, for writing this tale.  I am going to buy copies to give to several friends who are facing the unknown right now.

RIVEN: by Jerry B. Jenkins

Riven: A Novel by Jerry B. Jenkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fabulous!


I was tearfully reminded of the reason we are called to HIS purposes.  In Riven, Jerry B Jenkins solidifies his place among my all-time favorite authors; including Dekker, Peretti, Lucado, and Maxwell!


In the first several chapters I was left pondering how this story was coming together but by page so I was hooked and could not stop reading.  Jerry's masterful ability to connect the reader to the story-line is one-of-a-kind!


You will be refreshed and ready to face the challenges of life after reading this novel.


Christ is Glorified in this spectacular novel.


Thank You Jerry!

Elisha's Bones; a novel by Don Hoesel

Elisha's Bones by Don Hoesel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this fast-paced, continent-hopping, Biblical thriller.

Although this novel is a bit more mythological than my normal genre, I enjoyed the story-line. Mr. Hoesel spent a lot of time building up each character, even those who would die in a few short pages.  I believed that each character was of vital importance because of the background detail he put into their lines.    The author is to be commended for his writing.

I will look for other novels by Don Hoesel.
