Through The Eyes of a Child by Pam Funke

My book review today is on a child's E-book, Through The Eyes of a Child by Pam Funke. I was asked to read this book and review it. Although the book was given to me the review is my very own. I know your child or grandchild will love this book. The stories are delightful.

Mother and child are visiting the beach and find a strange creature. Bella, the daughter, asks about the creature and her mother shares several stories about different creatures and how God loves each of them and has a purpose for them.

The stories are heart warming and endearing. I can't wait to read them to my great grand kids. These stories will make great bed-time stories. You can find the book on Amazon.com

Top Secret Identity by Sharon Dunn

My book review today is on the next book in the series, Witness Protection. This is the fourth book in the series by Love Inspired Suspense, only two to go. Sharon Dunn did a great job on this one. It was fast paced and full of intrigue. I enjoyed it very much, especially the end.

Morgan Smith, is relocated to Iowa after she is attacked. Morgan managed to get to close to a baby smuggling operation. Now she was force to start her life all over. Sometimes we might think it would be good to start over but the consequences are more than most of us would be willing to pay. She left everything, a job she really liked, friends, and all her family she loved. Now she was a caretaker of horses on a farm and helped children learn to ride trying to hide her past from her handsome boss.

Alex Reardon was drawn to his new employee. He had been almost destroyed by an unfaithful wife and had no interest in getting involved with a woman who refused to tell him anything about her past. She's wonderful with the horses and the disabled kids but things begin to happen at the farm. Rural Iowa had always been a safe place now there were attacks on Morgan and the farm, what was he supposed to think?

A great story I know you will love. now I can't wait until the next book comes out. I always love the way they all pull together in the last couple of books. You really need to get the whole series. God bless you all and have a great week.

Beautiful Dreamer by Lorraine Beatty

My review today is on the Heartsong Presents book, Beautiful Dreamer by Lorraine Beatty. This is a good book I'm sure you will enjoy although I wanted to shake the Lena at times. When you put two people together who are exact opposites you definitely have problems. So the question always remains is love enough?

Lena Butler is a school teacher. She is an organized list maker who promises to help a film maker friend of her neighbors. He needs to find locations for his up coming movie. Against her better judgement she leads the man around, trying to keep walls around her heart to protect her from this charmer.

Dixon Edwards comes to Florida to scout out locations for his new Christian movie. He is intrigued by his uptight guide, a real challenge to his carefree ways. Dix is hiding a broken heart and has decided that it's God's will for him to remain single until Lena gets under his skin but Lena has her own issues and they don't include marriage or a relationship with a free spirit.

God has a plan and He loves to bring opposites together. I love it when His plan comes together. God bless you all and have a great week end.

A Place of Refugeby Janet Lee Barton

My book review today is one the Love Inspired Historical, A Place of Refuge by Janet Lee Barton. One of the Boarding House Brothels Series. I enjoyed this book. It is well written story about life in the tenements in New York City during the late eighteen hundreds. A horrible time in our history.

Kathleen O'Bryan is brought to Mrs Heaton's boarding house beaten half to death. Kathleen had been given a card by Mrs. Heaton when she was rescued from her brother-in-law a year ago. With the card in her pocket she now would be taken care of. Imagine her surprise when she opened her eyes and saw the man who had rescued her. She had never thought to see her hero again.

Luke Patterson was a heart broken author that lived in the boarding house. He helped Mrs. Heaton and her son to rescue women in need of help. The woman they brought to the home was hardly recognizable as the woman he had helped last summer. He was drawn to this woman and her family. Would he be able to keep her safe as the Heatons struggled to find a way to bring her out of the tenements.

A journey to rescue women in danger by people who only want to bring hope to the unfortunate. A great mission led by God. God always has a plan and they find He was in charge the whole time. I'm sure you'll love the book. God bless you all.

Deadly Safari by Lisa Harris

My book review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Deadly Safari by Lisa Harris. I really enjoyed this story. Africa has always been a place that has drawn me. I remember hearing a missionary talk about Africa as a child and me saying, send me God but that hasn't happened. I still love to read about it. This story is well written and I loved the characters. It would be really hard to protect someone if they didn't know that was why you were there and then how do you tell them.

Texas Ranger Alex Markham comes to Africa as a personal favor to his dad's good friend, Ambassador Jordan. Jordan's life has been threatened and so has the life of his daughter.  Fearing for her life he sends Alex in undercover. Alex is to be her production assistant but he knows nothing about film making. He didn't expect a beautiful woman and his protective instincts soar. He wanted to tell her the truth the moment he saw her but his hands are tied.

Meghan Jordan is a very independent film maker. In the middle of a documentary on lions, she is not impressed by this "cowboy" someone sent to be her assistant. What is worse is that he worries about everything, and soon she finds herself seeing shadows and hearing noises. She doesn't need a man in her life.

Their journey together is a great adventure, I know you will enjoy every word of it. God bless you and have a great week.

An Amish Christmas by Patricia Davids

My book review today is on the Love Inspired Book, An Amish Christmas by Patricia Davids. This is an older book I was given a part of the Brides of Amish Country Series. I enjoyed it very much. When someone loses their memories you never know how the author will end things but I liked what she did with this book. It is well written and keeps your attention. I liked the characters.

Karen Imhoff is driving the family carriage when her sister sees something on the edge of the road. Anna is sure it's a dead man. Not long ago they had lost part of their family in a buggy accident. Karen drives back and finds a man lying there. She sends her brother to call 911 to help the Englisher, she fears he will die in her arms as her brother did.

John Doe had no memory of his life before he woke up in a ditch. He knew he was in this area for a reason so he made arrangements to stay with Karen's family to try to find answers. He obviously is not Amish but he remembers some Amish words and glimpses of a woman. He is drawn to Karen and the Amish ways but there can be no future when you don't know who you are.

A journey to find out what kind of man he really is. A great book I know you will love. God bless you and have a great weekend.
