The Midwife of Venice - Book 10

I really enjoyed this book. I found it while walking through my library.





There were moments when I was reading and I could so feel how the midwife character wanted to help this woman even when it was not okay to do so. I have often found myself giving more of myself than I ever imagined when I started this journey of midwifery in my own life. Your heart seems to open to those sweet mamas and you so want to help with the knowledge you have.


I found this a quick read and I was very involved in the marriage of this Jewish midwife and her husband. One of those books that takes you on a journey and you hate to see end. I love the way this author writes. Very rich detail...pictures for the brain!

Cassidy, Sabrina, and Jessie - Books 7, 8, and 9

I have read three books this month! I will try my best to read as many as I can for my goal.


I read this series of three book by Lori Wick, starting with Cassidy.





This book starts you on your journey in this little town. A new pastor is finding his way with serving his flock, and a young woman is finding her way into a future she has only dared to pray for. She comes with a need for family and belonging as she sets up shop in the town. She finds that and so much more.


I need sweet books like this one. :)





I really enjoyed the Sabrina book because she came with one of those pasts that could really keep one from God. I love the way her story unfolds and her life with the now not so new Pastor to Token Creek mingle in such a sweet way. This book reminds me of how brothers and sisters in Christ can and do forgive as he does at times and we can and do bring each other into a fold of forgiveness and love. We are all sinners...waiting to be saved. I think this one was my favorite of all three.





The last book in the series so far was about a woman who is a wonderful person, but she can't see or believe in the realness of God. This is so true of most of us. Most people live beautiful lives, they love others, and they do nothing really wrong. This is the hardest type of life to have of all because it makes us believe we can save ourselves. I enjoyed traveling Jessie's road of forgiveness with her.


I read through all of these books so quickly. They blessed my heart. They even reminded me to pray for my husband more. This was something I had relaxed on. We all need good stories to bless our hearts and help us move forward for the Kingdom.

Peter Pan ~ Book 6

I only have 46 books left to read!


I really enjoyed the real Peter Pan. Once again, Disney, the thief of stories has taken a classic and turned it upside down with just a enough of a hint of the real deal. This story was much darker than what Disney protrays in the movie and books they create.


The children are gone for some time, they actually KILL pirates and indians. The pirates and Indians attack back. I often found myself worried about those children when I wasn't reading. Neverland is a very scary place at times.


You must read as the ending is so good. :)

Winnie-the-Pooh ~ Book 5

I never knew that the orignal Pooh book was so sweet and delicate. I really enjoyed reading the real story and not Disney's chopped up version with added mess to my little boys. Noah, the baby, enjoyed it while holding onto his pooh bear his Aunt Tabatha gave him.


This book thrilled my heart and I can't wait to read the next one. :) Noah fell asleep many a time nursing and listening to those beautiful words from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Dreamfever ~ Book 4

I really love faerie tales. This series is a darker breed of faeries, but I tend to think they would be IF they were real. Mac finds herself once again on the hot pursuit of all things fae and fights to set her humanly world back to normal. There were a few funny moments, dark funny, but the intimate details are going a little far now.

Secrets from Beyond The Grave - Book 3

I really enjoy Perry Stone's sermons. We were blessed to go and see him in person when Noah was maybe 2 months old. I love a pastor that has the guts to go into the mind blowing accounts and moments in the bible. This is not a watered down book. Reading the words that I believe God made Perry write and comparing the writings with the bible verses on my own was a wonderful way to spend my time. I feel I grew "years" in my spiritual growth after this book.


If you need to be refreshed in your walk, remember things you have forgotten, or learn something you have always asked God about, I bet you will enjoy Perry's latest book. It was very hard to put down. I feel ready and refreshed to keep walking...God spoke to me so much through this book.

The Call of the Wild ~ Book 2

I finished book two yesterday! I read this:





Really...one of the best books ever written. I just love Buck and how he is able to change to adapt. I just love it. A classic, what else can you say? If you have never read this, you must. This story meant so much more as an adult woman. I got so much from it.


It also makes you admire your own "little wolves" even more. :)


Two down 50 more books to go!
