God's Love Letters To You

This book is a well written collection of truths that God has been giving his people since the times of Noah. It was interesting for me to read through this book once and I am now reading it with my daily devotional. Much of what Dr. Crabb has to say is not new ideas, but reiterating the old ideas in a way that touches the hearts of the readers. I feel like I was able to understand the love of Christ in a new and different way after reading through these "letters."

a Vision of Lucy

Margaret Brownly's book "A Vision of Lucy" was creative, romatic, exciting, and fun to read. I was hooked at the very beginning. The story is based in a small town called Rocky Creek. She dreams of becoming a photographer. Lucy always falls into trouble when she is trying to capture just the right picture. The picture she is working on is one of a wild man, and all of her trouble leads her right down a path to love. Brownly tells a wonderful love story in this book. ONe that captures your heart and lets you fall in love with all of the characters as well.

The Final Summit

Andy Andrews has a wonderful ability to write about wonderous things and make you feel like you are living them. In his book "The Final Summit" he does just that. I have not read the first book in this series, but this book could definetly stand on its own. In this book David Ponder is taken to a meeting place by an angel. Here he is to decide the fate of humanity. While at this meeting he comes to know many of the world's most famous people, like Abraham Linclon and Anne Frank. The book began with a slow introduction and first chapter, but once through those parts I loved reading the book. It had great ideas and Andrews did a great job of making you feel like you are there with them in the heavenly meeting hall.
