Winter Austin hits it out of the park with these two covers. Read them in order with Atonement first and Born to Die second. Two big 5s for these.   Lord, please keep directing Winter to write the stories you have for her to tell. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

                  Well, what did you expect? It's Valentine's Day after all. This is one terrific romance cover and I'm willing to bet Anne Patrick wrote a great story to go with that cover. Love the colors, the muscles, and the young boy sitting on the fence. Just might have to read this one. I'm giving it…

                   I loved this cover so much I actually read the book! You know I don't do historicals, but I read this one and it was a good story. K. M. Weiland has one of the best covers ever on this novel. Not only did I read the book, I ordered a poster of the…

     He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the…

   Man's definition of evil is as vast as the dark of night. It's inconsistent, unreliable, skewed, variable, and often wrong. God's definition of evil is the only one that counts. It doesn't waver. You choose. What you think, what you do, what you understand, what you know. There is an innate sense of good…

                 What a fabulous old song. For long time lovers.   Lord, only you know real love. We pursue it, but you grant it in its limited capacity in this sin-stained world. Thank you for what you give. Thank you for loving us for real. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.  

      I'm looking forward to it. Aarrgghh! What say you?   Father, you see the hearts of us all. We're all desperate for you even when we fail to realize it. You know my prayers. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.  

              Yes, it's fiction. A short story. A novel. A drama. A comedy. Science-fiction. Fantasy. Make-believe. But it's not only make-believe. The reality is it takes inspiration and imagination to write it. And in order for it to be readable, it takes a basic knowledge of the – in our case – English language and…

Sing to the Lord, you saints of his;    praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment,    but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night,    but rejoicing comes in the morning.   Psalm 30:4-5 (NIV)

                  Most of you know I am generally not a non-fiction reader. I read and write novels. Many of my reading choices are thrillers. My favorite character is Mitch Rapp who, in several of the Vince Flynn/now Kyle Mills novels, in expedient circumstances exercised his own version of "enhanced interrogation". Contrary to the fictional Mitch Rapp's…
