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.

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.

Newest from Deborah Heal
About the book:
A modern retelling of the Old
Testament story of Ruth—a sweet romance about courage, loyalty, and second
chances.
When Julia passes through the small
town of Coldwater, driving her screeching pickup with her mother-in-law and
everything she owns in the RV they’re towing, all she wants is to get Helen
settled on what’s left of the family farm and hurry back to civilization.
Julia’s still mourning her husband,
and so romance is the last thing on her mind. But whenever Neil Ashe shows up,
the attraction between them flares—even though his divorce has left him leery
of city women, and she’s not interested in muscle-bound farmers, no matter how
handsome they may be.
Julia soon realizes she’s going to
have to stick around to help Helen hold on to her forty-acres because someone
is after them. Besides, how could she leave her mother-in-law to the tender
mercies of the legalistic bullies who have taken over Bethel Church? They pick
at Helen like Job’s “friends,” telling her God has cursed her. Why else would
her husband and both sons die in tragic accidents?
Julia is determined to deal with
everything on her own, just as she’s been doing ever since Lucas died. But Neil
thinks it’s his job to make all their problems go away. Will Julia stubbornly
go it alone, holding on to both her pride and the memory of her husband, or
will she ask Neil to come to the rescue—and into her heart?
Lisa's review:
I was a Deborah Heal fan before I learned she was working on
a series of Biblical fiction set in contemporary times. This story of Ruth and
Naomi is a beautiful and timeless story perfectly fit for today. I learned a
lot about the setting and fully enjoyed the characters as they played out the loyalty,
despair and love that go along with making a forever commitment. I adore
too-good-to-be-true heroes, even though they make me sigh into tomorrow and
realize they're not perfect. That only makes them sweeter. We don't get to know
Boaz's inner angst in the Bible, but the author of Holding On made an excellent
and determined effort to show it.
No, it's not the time traveling adventure of her earlier
series, but show Heal's versatility, and you know...in a way, we do time travel
here in this story that parallels the biblical romance of Ruth and Boaz.
Recommended for teens and up. Told from multiple viewpoints.
