Book Recommendation - Messy to Meaningful: My Purse Runneth Over


Do you ever feel like you're carrying too much? Not just in your purse, but also in life. If so, have I got a book for you! This book, written by 3 hilarious but spiritually adept ladies, uses each chapter to compare some item from your purse to a life lesson. While most of this is not actually "new" information if you've been in a relationship with Jesus for any period of time, they're great reminders that pack a solid punch and bring us back to the basics. 


Here's a blurb about the book:

Got Baggage?


Ever find yourself lugging around messy spiritual baggage like so much purse clutter?
Sometimes that baggage runneth over and shows up in:

    That utterly overwhelmed feeling
    Anxiousness and stress
    Anger, fear, discontentment
    Feelings of failure and a lack of peace


Let's stop holding on to what we don't need, and start fighting for what we do. Learn to walk out your faith life less weighed down. Lighter, FREER than ever!


Not only free, but our powerful God wants you to live in a gracious overflow--

A LIFE OF PURPOSE RUNNING OVER WITH GLORIOUS MEANING

Book Recommendation - The Curse of Misty Wayfair

Image
My very first read of 2019 was this super-creepy dual timeline novel, The Curse of Misty Wayfair by Jaime Jo Wright. I discovered Ms. Wright at the beginning of 2018 when I found her debut novel, The House on Foster Hill, and LOVED it. Later in the year, she released The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Though this one spooked me the most (I had ghostly dreams a time or two while reading this one), I think this is the best one yet! This book goes back and forth between Thea in 1908 and Heidi in present day. Both are on a quest to find themselves and for both of them, their quest has brought them to the small town of Pleasant Valley, WI. There is a curse that supposedly haunts the woods, and both characters in their respective timelines are drawn into the curse and what it means for them. In their quests, both of them also come face to face with their Creator. Here's the back-cover blurb for those interested in learning more about the story line:

Book Recommendation - Voice of the Ancient

Image
  Connilyn Cossette is one of the best writers in the arena of Biblical historical fiction. With her words, she brings the old testament world to life and pulls the reader to see it through new eyes. Her upcoming novel, Voice of the Ancient, takes place during the time of Samuel, when Israel clamored for a king. I really enjoyed her take on what Israel was like during that time and absolutely adored the characters of Avidan and Keziah. Here's a bit about the book: As the eldest son of a Levite and a Philistine, Avidan is torn between his duty to his family legacy and the desire for something more. When Ammonites attack the city of Yavash-Gilead, he takes the opportunity to fight with his cousins for the newly crowned King Saul. But when one of the cousins goes missing during the battle, Avidan stays behind to search for him in hopes that he's still alive. Keziah is the daughter of one of the most powerful clan chiefs in the territory of Manasseh. On the brink of a forced marria
