A Melody For James written by Hallee Bridgeman

By -
A Melody for James, what can I say except I truly LOVED this book! After I started reading this book  I could not put it down until the very end.

  At first I was like what is going on in the beginning with James wife being killed because like normal people I always read the back cover for a synopsis of what to expect. Then as I was reading I saw how things tied together and how this invisible man was really someone really close to Melody. I also love how she overcame a domestic violence situation and in doing so she used that  to catapult herself into using her God-given gift, which was to sing.

 Then I admired how even in tragedy James decided to minister to the man that kidnapped his wife. This particular scene emulates how we are suppose to forgive someone, not for their peace of mind but for our own salvation. Also, this taught me how the true and living God, by using tough situations and events, can use us as a beacon of light to minister to the unbelievers and evildoers!

 The ending will leave you SPEECHLESS!! I was not as shocked at the end but I was shocked at who the other accomplice was. All in All this book really shows you who God is and how he uses a bad situation to turn it into a blessing and a testament of his goodness and mercy. So I HIGHLY recommend you read A Melody For James and I so can't wait for the next book in the series.

A Parcel for Prudence by Hallee Bridgeman

I  read Book 4 in the Virtues and Valor series. I love how the Author interweaves the previous books in with this one yet it can also be considered a stand-a-lone book. Muriel code name Prudence comes from an influential family so it was surprising to see her even participating in the war but thank God for God and the wisdom of her husband who told her to fight the war because she was more than just a pretty face but she has brains too knowing different languages. She is very instrumental by being a Currier for the British operatives on the ground. She proves herself to be more than just a British house wife but a soldier in her own right. I highly recommend this book and the previous books in the series.

I've read a lot of Olivia Newport books but the by far is one of my favorites.. Meek and Mild is a great Amish book that gives you a better insight of how things works and the role their faith plays.

She's just scared that if she has children of her own she will die like her mother did, during child birth. Andrew Raber is loves Clara and would marry her if only she'd say yes. He's not sure that every rule in the Ordnung is biblical, and so he when he sees Model T Ford abandoned on the road he is mesmerized.. He has his own place and he works hard. Fannie is Clara's cousin and she is wishing for another boppli(baby) t although she has Sadie. When her mother becomes pregnant, she takes it hard. Every character mentioned in the book have a need only the Lord can provide an answer to and Olivia&

Daring the Unthinkable is set in the late 1800s in Montgomery, Missouri. I have read several books by this author and most of the books have been set in some part of Missouri which I have grown to love. This faith-based book takes you on a journey that you never thought you needed.  Daring the Unthinkable is about one woman's selflessness and trust in God. Rachel Atkinson, is a young woman who by society's standards, during this time period, should be married with a house full of children. Instead, she goes on a journey that allows us to see her faith in God and also God's promise to never leave us nor forsake us in action. On this journey, we are introduced to her family, which consists of 4 sisters and her parents; Mr. and Mrs. Payne, a wealthy family who hires Rachel to take care of 2 siblings; and Hal Brevin and his family. Through Rachel's selflessness and trust in God to make a way out of no way, we in turn see how her faith and dependence on God help to bring the
