Devotions for the Hungry Heart: Chasing Jesus Six Days from Sunday by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson

By -


"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6).” This book reminds us that it is not the obtaining and getting that makes us happy, but in the hungering. Tomlinson is very talented at taking bible verses written thousands of years ago and making real life applications for them, with humor and wisdom. Her anecdotes make her very relatable. And the book is indeed for the HUNGRY heart - she has included some of her recipes. I have not made any of the dishes yet, so this review is just for the devotions. I wholeheartedly recommend it, and plan on giving the book as a gift to friends.

received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

I had the privilege of getting to know Author Gayle M. Irwin as part of Christian Book Academy created by Shelley and CJ Hitz. We were matched as accountability partners. We meet via zoom every 2 weeks or so. Gayle M. Irwin is an award-winning author and freelance writer, being recognized by Wyoming Writers, Inc., and the Wyoming Press Association for several of her works. Gayle is currently re-releasing one of her Pet Rescue Romance stories, My Montana Love. I was able to interview Gayle about her re-released book My Montana Love found below . Litany: Can you tell us a little about yourself? Gayle: I’ve been a writer for more than 30 years, working as a reporter and editor for various newspapers as well as a freelance writer. I became an author in 2007 with the publication of my first book, Sage’s Big Adventure: Living With Blindness. It’s the story of my springer spaniel and her journey as a blind dog, a chapter book for kids (although adults enjoy it as well!) encouraging them...

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.

Charity's Code by Hallee Bridgeman

In book 3 of the Virtues and Valor series Dorothy Ewing code name Charity is a character you cannot help but fall in love with from the start. She was a mother, wife but most of all protector of her family at homer especially when her husband had to go off to war. We see why her name is code named Charity, her generosity to her friend during the bombings at the beginning shows how good of a heart she has. From the prologue you get a sense of why the title of this book is Charity’s Code due to her deciphering the text of a crossword puzzle. Through prayer Dorothy stepped out on faith and accepted a job that would change the course of not just her life but her family as well as she uses the skills, we saw from the prologue to do her part to help. We see Charity go through the emotions of dealing with the war and how it is affecting her family and still have time to give encouragement and a listening ear to her sisters of Virtue. All in all, she keeps her wits about her to do ...

Daring The Unthinkable By Jean L. Kuhnke

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...
