Lost Christmas Memories by Dana Mentink

Nov22

Romance, Adventure, Suspense

Lost Christmas Memories by Dana Mentink is a romantic Christian suspense that will have your heart racing as you hunt for clues to fill in the missing pieces.

The novel has the theme of searching. There is a search to regain a snapshot in time as well as searches to belong. Being hurt and excluded in our pasts are heavy burdens to carry. Living with our eye on the past prevents us from enjoying the present. We need to give our burdens and our pasts to the One who can make all things new.

This links to the theme of trust. After a crime is committed, suspicion needs to find an outlet. As the net widens and more ‘coincidences’ of bad luck happen, the question of trust looms large.

A Taster

Innocence Denied by Mike Garrett is on its way… due out 21st February 2019, why not pre order your copy today? This is a work of love and a work of great beauty. I was fortunate to read it last summer… and oh wow have I been dying to shout about this book!

Not long to go now before I can share my whole review but how about a taster?

“This is a man who loves God. He knows that bad things happen to good people. They are not caused by God. Like Job, he is faithful, loving God through all circumstances. His faith is catching.”

An Impossible Thing Called Love by Belinda Missen

Perfectly Charming

An Impossible Thing Called Love by Belinda Missen is the most charming, fun filled, delightful contemporary romance that will leave you feeling good.

A wonderful humorous look at love, with two lead characters exchanging many amusing dialogues. This book will have you smiling throughout as a great love radiates from its pages. I found An Impossible Thing Called Love very reminiscent of the film Love Story – the great love is tangible for all to feel.

The characters are perfectly drawn. I could ‘see’ them in my mind’s eye, but more than that, I could ‘feel’ them. I felt an emotional attachment to them, as if the characters reached out from the pages of the book and touched my heart – never have I felt such an emotional response to fictional characters before.

The Four Gifts Of The King by R Scott Rodin

Go And Bear Fruit

The Four Gifts Of The King by R Scott Rodin – wow! What to say? This is a marvellous Christian allegorical tale and definitely up there with C.S. Lewis’ Narnia. R Scott Rodin could definitely be the next C.S. Lewis with his insight into the heart of God. The reader will find this book jam packed with wisdom and Godly lessons that we would be wise to follow.

The story is perfect for ages ten to adult. We are never too old or too young to follow a Godly path in life.

This book points the way to the King, showing that life is a journey. Along the way we will meet deceivers who whisper lies that appear as truth. “Words… were delivered with a venomous hiss: ‘the king does not care about you.’“ The job of deceivers is to distract us from God by turning our focus inwards. “We can cause him fear… panic… despair… and to doubt who he is.”
