BellaOnline Forums Books and Music Christian Literature What are you reading this week?

I am reading LoneStar Sanctuary by Colleen Coble. I am only a few chapters in. I like the suspense that the writer has in her other novels, and how the characters really go through outward trials - not just internal arcs.

Thanks Lisa!

I looked it up on Amazon and see that it is the first book in a series. Admitably, I am partial to all things Texan, but this book sounds really good.

Thanks for sharing!

Here are just a few of the books on the shelf:

Pilgrimage of a Soul by Phileena Heuertz
Unsqueezed by Margot Starbuck
The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews (watch for the review on Sept 7)
Pursuit of Justice by DiAnn Mills
Living With Confidence In A Chaotic World by David Jeremiah

I am still working on Lonestar Sanctuary - I am not as into this book as I got into the authors other works. I started Tell Me Everything by Marling Meberg - lots of stuff in this book, written in the casual style of most Women of Faith books, but Meberg is touching on some really deep stuff so far.

Meberg is an inspired writer. I read an excerpt and the book sounded very interesting. I'm sorry to hear Lonestar Sanctuary isn't living up to your expectations.

I love all the Women of Faith authors.
This week I am excited to be reading a Christian fiction book. I receive a lot of books for review for the Christian Living site but very few fiction.
This week's book is "Mercy Land" by the author River Jordan. I was kind of intrigued by the book title and the name of the author.

Mercy Land/River Jordan....it does have an interesting ring to it. I'll watch for your review.

I highly recommend the book "Letters From a Distant Shore" by Marie Lawson Fiala.
It is a true story of the medical, emotional and spiritual journey the author and her family experience after her 13 year old son suffers a massive cerebral hemorrhage. It is emotional but also very inspirational. My review will be featured on the 18th of Sept.

I finished Bible Babel by Kristin Swenson last week and The Christmas Train by David Baldacci yesterday.

I'm currently reading The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker.
