The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, Book 2)
Gena Showalter
HQN Books, 2008
Uh, WoW! What a sequel...
When I first read Showalter's Darkest Night, I really enjoyed this new take on paranormal romance. I've mostly been reading vampire romances so... I quite enjoy Greek mythology so I welcomed a story involving old myths with new. And to add hot romances to them, well... ...

It Speaks To The Heart.
This is a picture of Jesus - as a young boy - that fits comfortably into the character of Christ as found in the Gospels... and yet the creative detail imagined to fully render that character brings a fresh light and joy to the subject. The heart of this book ...

The Sermon on the Mount: The Key to Success in Life
Emmet Fox
HarperOne, 1989
The only spiritual book you'll ever need.
Emmet Fox once paid Florence Scoville Schinn (see "The Game of Life and How to Play It") a great compliment by writing that her works were accessible even to those who did not wish to devote their attention to deeper study. I believe that's true also of "The Sermon on ...

The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)
J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin, 2004
Very nice edition to have
This review is only about the `50th anniversary edition' and not about the master work of J.R.R.Tolkien.

The Meal That Heals: Enjoying Intimate, Daily Communion With God
Perry Stone
Charisma House, 2008
"The Meal that Heals"
I Highly recommend this book. I have heard many leaders speaking or writing on the subject. We need to listen and discern when we see a trend whether or not it is of God. I believe this is God's leading right now.
