Be Blessed

Song of SilenceSong Of Silence by Cynthia Ruchti is a contemporary Christian novel and oh what a powerful read it is. I love everything that Cynthia Ruchti writes and always know that I will be in for a real treat, but Song Of Silence is something extra special. It is brutally honest, it is touching and it is hauntingly beautiful.

And even worse, she loses her joy “when they closed down the music program they stole the joy of music.”Song Of Silence deals with how to continue living when everything inside feels like it is dying. The rug pulled out from under her, how will Lucy survive? Every day is a struggle.

Outrageous, Extravagant Love

An Endless ChristmasAn Endless Christmas By Cynthia Ruchti is another wonderful novel from an author who never fails to warm me with her writing.

Christ’s love as described in 1Corinthians:13 is worked out in the pages of this beautiful novel.
