The Devil In Pew Number Seven


What would you do if your small family moved to a small town to become the new preacher and you found one individual there that did not want you there? In fact, they would go out of their way to make sure you and your family got the message loud and clear that you aren't wanted and for you to pack up and go home.

Yet you felt strongly in your heart that God has called you to bring the message of love and forgiveness to a church that is being run by one man with the power in his hands to control all the towns money and property that is, except for the church.

When your father decides to stay even at a risk to his live and the lives of his family, all hell truly breaks lose when Mr. Watts decides to take matters into his own hands to make sure that you get the message to leave, dead or alive.

I received the book, The Devil in Pew Number Seven from Tyndale House Publishers for my honest review and found a true story behind it all. It was written by Rebecca Nichols Alonzo and Bob DeMoss, who is the daughter of the preacher, Robert Nichols who is called to the small town of Sellerstown, North Carolina, in hopes of sharing God's message of love and restoration and in the process finds her family terrified beyond what anyone thought possible. What starts off as mere threatening midnight phone calls goes into causing physical harm to the family even with children present in the home. No one is safe!

The author uses information from police reports, crime scene photos and eye witness testimony to convey the details of their story in this wonderful book.

I would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars for the mind blowing reality that this could really take place in small town America even today. The violence that the enemy is willing to use to bring about the fall of the church is eye opening to the reader.

Whisper On The Wind


Just what price would you be willing to pay for love? What price if the country you grew to love and call home was caught up in the middle of World War 1?

That's just what Isa Lassone does in the wonderful historical romance of Whispers On The Wind by Maureen Lang. The time is 1916 in Belguim and the Germans have occupied the country while in the midst of the war. They have taken to burning down existing buildings and looting what goods they can and shipping them off to Germany. They have burned all the buildings that Isa remembered growing up in Brussels, yet her home has miraculously survived. It's contents and servant staff have also been left untouched.

Isa's family had managed to escape just before the invasion taking her back to America, but deep within her heart she has always loved one and that one is now a man, Edward, who is worth risking her own personal safety to come back in the hopes of persuading him and his family to flee with her to safety. Only Edward isn't so willing to leave even if it means risking his mother and younger brother Jonah. Just what is prompting Edward to stay? Why does he stay gone at night? You'll have to check out the book and find out.
