Dawnsinger

I found this story to be quite amazing and full of adventure and suspense! Shae and Kai are brother and sister, or has there been an alteration of the truth to protect ones real heritage! When Kai starts to figure out that their relationship is a lie, he starts putting together the truth of what the future has in store. Once Kai finds out the truth he becomes her protector in the story. The first half of the book is plot after plot of what is happening in the High Queens Court. The second half is all about the adventure!

From Wingabeasts to Garns, this book has all kinds of beasts, giants, wizards and magic throughout which will not disappoint. Be aware of the many different names that sometimes can be confusing, but if you can keep up and remember all of them, you will have an epic rollercoaster ride! This story has a deep rooted fantasy base well suited for all of the fantasy and even Sci-Fi lovers alike! You will want to keep this book close as you read it and you wont want to put it down once you’ve picked it up!

I rate Dawnsinger by Janalyn Voigt a 4 out of 5 stars! Only due to the confusing names where it is sometimes hard to keep track of each character. This definitely was a good book to read! I received Dawnsinger by Janalyn Voigt compliments of Kathy Carlton Willis Communications for my honest review and think this would be an exceptional book for those young adults and teens that really LOVE a great Christian Fantasy Fiction based book like Lord of the Rings and The Chronicle of Narnia series. This is the first book in the Tales of Faeraven series and I can't wait for more!

Patchwork Dreams - Giveaway and Review

Ever since returning from her rumschpringe pregnant and unwed, Becky Troyer has been a pariah in her Amish community. Even after she confesses her sin and rejoins the church, her peers continue to shun her. A distraught Becky wonders if she will ever marry for love.

Becky's world changes, however, when the handsome Jacob Miller arrives at her family's farm. The assumption is that he's thee to help with chores during the summer, and then he'll return to Pennsylvania. But Jacob's father actually sent him away to introduce new blood into the Amish community of Seymour, as well as to distance him from his sweetheart, Susie.

As their friendship deepens, the two find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other. Can Jacob cheer up the lovely yet listless Becky by offering her the only unconditional friendship she's ever known? Or will he honor his pledge to Susie and turn his back on Becky, as others have done in the past?

In the Amish novel, Patchwork Dreams by Laura V. Hilton, the readers are taken for a journey into the broken life of Becky Troyer who believes that due to her irresponsibility during her rumschpringe that left her with a child to care for, she will never marry. She will wind up a spinster forever living with her parents no matter how many suitors the town brings in.

Jacob struggles with the decision of remaining true to his love for Susie, a girl that is waiting for him back in Pennsylvania, and finding his heart pulled in the direction of unconditional love for Becky. Believing he will find a way to remove her grayness from her days and return her smile and laughter again, he makes it his mission to do just that before he leaves. Only every day he spends with Becky brings him one step closer to falling in love with her and falling out of love with Susie.

I received this book compliments of Kathy Carlton Willis Communications for my honest review and found this a story of what it means to love someone unconditionally. This one rates a 5 out of 5 stars and I can't wait to read more stories in this series. To find out more about the book, the author and where to purchase a copy, click on the link below:

DIVAS' Top 10 Necessities for a Fulfilled Life A Great Bra! (Prayer Foundation) – Even though many women don’t enjoy wearing this undergarment, it is the most critical aspect of any DIVA’S outfit! Why? It is the foundation—just like a relationship with God that offers support and is always uplifting. Mirror (Real Beauty) – A DIVA looks into the mirror to check hair and lipstick but more importantly to make sure what she sees is real—to make sure her beauty is reflected from within, transparent and authentic. Shoes (God’s Purpose) – The perfect designer shoes guide her daily walk with Christ. Must fit her style as an individual and accentuate the relationship that is uniquely hers in order to make every step count. Little steps help her go the distance. Sunglasses (Priorities) – Oh, how important to filter the harmful rays and the worldly view of the sunlight so she is only exposed to the pure Son and all of His benefits! Chocolate (Time Out) – Every DIVA’S little piece of heaven! It may be small but it’s sweetness, it’s creamy comfort, and its AHHHH factor, is enough to sustain her until she gets to experience the wonder of heaven. It’s the little pick-me-up that will remind her to sustain her eternal perspective no matter the circumstance. Wrinkle Cream (Forgiveness) – It is the hottest thing on the market for any DIVA who wants to remove lines and wrinkles. The Spirit-inspired ingredients are key to erasing the fine lines of stress, worry, and bitterness to help her let go of the past. This cream is full of the healing power of forgiveness, grace, and unconditional love. Watch (Commitment) – Every DIVA has a favorite watch. This piece of bling pulls every outfit together. She feels lost when she forgets to wear it. Time! Time requires commitment and every DIVA chooses wisely how she spends it. Girlfriend (Accountability) - The most important necessity for all true DIVAS. She’s caring and fun to be with. She is the “speak the truth in love” kind of friend that will hold the DIVA accountable to being the true Designer Original she was created to be. Purse (Balance) - Whether it’s top-of-the-line or a bargain-deal, the DIVA’S purse must be perfect to keep all her most important things close—flexible to bend when in tight spots but sturdy enough to withstand day-to day-use. Her purse contains the necessary items to stay balanced and “keep it all together.” Lipstick (Positive Words & Attitude) – Positive words and a polished tone flow from her lips in pretty colors and a high-gloss shine. Her words inspire others. About the Authors:

With Hearts Courageous

In this sequel to Into The Storm, With Hearts Courageous by Jon Steven Nappa takes you on a journey into the private and personal life of Sir William Hillary.

Sir William Hillary is the founder of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution or RNLI who spent his life finding ways to help those less fortunate than himself. In one situation the herring fleet of fisherman find themselves caught in a storm only to loss more than 75% of the fleet both in the loss of men and their boats.

When one particular local fisherman finds his son rescued after his boat is overturned, he wishes to repay the family of the man who saved him. The man named Red unfortunately in saving Micheal's son passes away upon reaching the beach. He leaves behind a wife and children who have no way of supporting themselves now that they have lost their husband and father.

Michael is distraught when he can't provide for his own family due to losing his own fishing boat, and wants desperately to help Red's family as well. Thankfully, Sir William comes to the rescue and offers Michael a boat as a Christmas gift. This way Michael can provide a means for both families.

Sir William shows us that we can provide hope where all seems lost and the book follows his story from riches to rags who puts everything on the line in service to a passionate call.

I received this book compliments of Kathy Carlton Willis Communications for my honest review. It makes for a great sequel to show the sweeter side of life when it doesn't boil down to how much money one has, but what one does with the money he has to make life better for others. I would rate this book an 8 out of 10. This book is available at Barnes and Noble in paperback and hardcover versions.
