Wakulla Book Review: The Asquinn Twins: No Greener Pastures Book Three, by Heather Radford




Book Summary:
After a life full of debarchery and infidelity, Sherry leaves Ken and returns home to Forest Lake with her two boys, threatening to divorce Ken if he doesn’t change.
Ken gets right with God and leaves his old life behind to reclaim his family. He moves back to Forest Lake, Ontario, and becomes Police Chief Superintendent of the Forest Lake department.
Three years later Bradan gets right with God and returns home as well to become a constable first class. Together, they clean up the hamlet as well as work on relationships with God and family.

AUTHOR’s PURPOSE:
To show the mercy and power of God to forgive and rebuild families and lives of the backslidden.

THEMES:
1/Repentance
2/Rebuilding relationships
3/ Rebuilding dreams.

Thesis:

God is always willing for the prodigal to come home.

I liked this third book, although I hated to see the elder Turehues die. But I still rejoiced with the characters because their salvation was secure.
A great ending and well put together.

The message is sound and good but the story has the adults sounding like five year old kids. If this is a children’s book, the language is awkward.


If it’s adult fiction, the Christian morals and standard teaching are awesome. But the characters need to be rebuilt to display their proper age and mentality of adults. Also, too many typos. It takes away from the story; you have to piece together what the author is truly saying.

Wakulla Book Review: Children of Dreams, by Lorilyn Roberts


Wakulla Book Review:  Children of Dreams, by Lorilyn Roberts.



Summary:  The story chronicles Ms. Roberts’ journey to Nepal to adopt a young girl through an agency where the father loved her [ daughter ] so much that he would sacrifice and put her up for adoption, because when he remarried nothing would become of his daughter because of the cast system and culture of his country.

Ms. Roberts is tested when her daughter becomes ill, doctors don’t have answers, and she is concerned about moving forward with the adoption that she knows in her spirit she is led to do.

When all is clear with the health of her daughter, adoption laws have changed, and this time her journey takes her to Vietnam only to find out that the child she has come for was “kidnapped.”

After a trail of lies, deception, and becoming aware of an ongoing investigation by U.S. officials of her adoption agent Anne, she adopts a child born to a single rice-farming mother.
Her faith is tested in all phases of the adoption, even when she must leave the country without her daughter depending upon Anne to bring her daughter stateside.

Purpose: The author wanted to tell her story of adopting her two daughters and show that our adoption into the Body of Christ can be better understood through what she went through and her ability to love.

Themes: Abortion, human trafficking/baby stealing/family support versus family against divorce and feeling unworthy/incomplete.

Thesis: Adoption into the Body of Christ and trusting in the ways of the Lord even when we can’t understand why in the natural and when those around us talk against instead of giving their support.

daughters in 2014
Controversy: The author is against abortion, which her views are in line with the Word of God. She is also against taking part in bribes and corruption even if it seems as though it is for a greater good for the Word tells us not to.

I enjoyed the book and the fact that the author continued to hold fast to her faith and walking in the direction she knew the Lord was leading her.

Wakulla Book Review: Shadow Stalker by Barbara Derksen



This was a really WOW! book. I normally do not read murder mysteries but I was given this book to read and write a review on it. As I have already said, “WOW!” This book kept me so into it and the figures within the book were downright riveting.

I could not read the darn thing fast enough. The religious parts of the book were handled in an excellent manner also. It gave me a good attitude about Jesus and I felt that was a major factor in the book.

A very good written book. I am still not a murder mystery book lover but I am a Barbara Ann Derksen book reader. I do have the second book of the Finders Keepers series and will probably read the second book as fast as the first one.


Lord have mercy. This was an excellent book to read. We can only hope for the future in our regular lives.
