Book Review by Lorilyn Roberts of "My Little Angel" by Sherrill S. Cannon
My favorite children's books are rhyming books, and Sherrill Cannon once again in "My Little Angel" has created a masterpiece. The story is uplifting, the illustrations are beautiful, and it's one of those books where you feel good all over when you finish it. You want to linger on the words, the message, and read it again and again.

Book Review by Lorilyn Roberts of "Understory" by Lisa Lickel
Lisa Lickel weaves together a masterful tale of intrigue
and romance, and the multilayers of complexity will leave the reader
turning the pages.
The characters are well-developed, and overarching
themes involving racism and prejudice will resonate with the reader.
The story takes place in the Midwest—in a small town that
harbors a big secret—perhaps more common than anyone dares to imagine. UnderStory is one of those rare
books that’s not only a great read but makes a statement about what’s most
important—in the midst of depravity, unfairness, and greed.

Book Review by Lorilyn Roberts of "Prepare to Meet Your Maker" by Pearl Nsuah-Kumi
If you are wondering how to become a Christian, "Prepare to Meet Your Maker" tells you exactly what you need to do to become one, as well as how to live the Christian life afterwards. I loved the succinctness of the book, all the Scripture references, and that every page is totally Biblical. There is a heaven and a hell, and every person who has ever lived will go to one of these two destinations.
Points stressed include:
The urgency of this decision - no one knows how long we have this side of eternity.
Once you die, your decision is irreversible.
The love and holiness of Jesus.
God's judgment for those who don't turn to Jesus.
Free will.
It is pointless and needless to perish.
I highly recommend this book to unbelievers and believers alike. It can be read and one sitting, and is a great addition to your Kindle library.

Book Review by Lorilyn Roberts - "Living & Breathing the Psalms" by Jim Edwards
After a year-long battle with cancer, I have found this book to be a great encouragement. Jim brings alive the true meaning of Psalms - to lift us above our circumstances, to show that God's love surpasses our most difficult trials, and that with Jesus, we are never alone. God is with us, and we can trust Him in our pain.
Each page is filled with encouragement, written in a style that anyone can understand as the Holy Spirit shouts praises and affirmations of God's unfailing love.
I have to admit, at times I haven't felt like praising God this last year, but "Living & Breathing the Psalms" reminds me that human feelings can be overcome and transformed into the worship of King Jesus.
if you are hurting, reading "Living & Breathing the Psalms" will renew your mind.
God hears our cries when we give Him our struggles. I found this book to be a great encouragement, prompting me to be more thankful. It helped me to keep my eyes on my Redeemer. Sometimes we need to be reminded, God is greater than our suffering, and He is able to do far more than we ask.
If you enjoy reading the Psalms, you will enjoy this modern-day praised-filled rendition. Soak in a little each day, and be filled with God's joy.

New Young Adult Book From Award-Winning Author William D. Burt - "The Lake Lights"
“The Lake Lights” by William D. Burt is the first book in
his new Creation Series Seekers.
Jonathan Oliver, the main character, comes from a long line
of scientists and inventors, and after the disappearance of his father, sets out
to discover what the strange creatures are over Lake Oswego.
Jon's quest becomes more than a scientific homeschooling
project when he is confronted by evilness that wants to destroy
his father’s legacy and family at all costs.
God is an integral part of the story as William D. Burt discusses
evolution versus creationism. Throughout “The Lake Lights,” God’s concern over
the affairs of men is emphasized, and the compatibility of Christianity with
science is explored, giving the book a Christian worldview
I enjoyed the intrigue, the suspense, and the surprise
ending that ties everything together into a delightful and engaging story.
While the book is geared toward a younger audience, I
thoroughly enjoyed reading “The Lake Lights” in my “old age” and learned a few
scientific facts. I also highly recommend “The Lake Lights” to homeschooling
families and look forward to reading the next book in the series.
*~*~*~*
William D. Burt is the award-winning author of the seven-title Christian allegorical "King of the Trees" series. Other works are in progress. Two of his titles (out of three submitted) were finalists in the 2014 Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest: "The King of the Trees" and "The Golden Wood."

"The Blue Little Moon," A New Children's Book by Kelssee Colleen
Book Review from Amazon
ByKara U. on July 6, 2017
The author is serious about helping people embrace their gifts
and be who they were designed to be. Through delicate prose, author Kelssee
Colleen has woven a parable to explain the light cast from the moon, using the
story as an allegory for the readers to bridge to their own life experiences.
But even those too young to fully grasp the significant of the text will be
mesmerized by the cadence of the author’s tone.
Whimsical, elegant and expressive-faced illustrations by Heidi Thompson enhance the story and will appeal to the intended audience—God’s children of all ages.
Whimsical, elegant and expressive-faced illustrations by Heidi Thompson enhance the story and will appeal to the intended audience—God’s children of all ages.
Children will identify with the Little Moon as she strays from the role God
made her especially for… with little reason or temptation beyond sheer
curiosity. The expressions worn by the Little Moon inspire inquisitiveness and
empathy in children. However, this book will also make a great gift to a
high-school or college-aged young person due to the subdued “Prodigal Son”
theme.
To all potential readers: this book is a cozy reminder of the source of the moon’s light on nights when we feel alone in the darkness.
