Wow, what a short story! I came into this not having read Ignite (sadly – I hope to change that sometime!), and while a few parts were a tiny bit confusing, it was still heartbreaking! While I’d definitely recommend reading Ignite first, there’s still so much to enjoy in this one.

Not being a baseball fan, I came into this novella a little clueless. I still don’t really understand baseball, but you don’t have to enjoy the sport to enjoy this story!

Wow! I read the first of this series back in the summer, and once I finished it, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next one! (Though that first one was a bit of a heartbreaker … be sure to read these in the order they come. That is of the utmost importance.) But wow – what a great continuance of the first in the series!

This was such a sweet, relaxing book. Don’t get me wrong – I love high-stakes drama and intrigue and intensity, but sometimes it’s nice just to read something that’s more everyday life. Even though there wasn’t much action, the character development and interactions kept me turning the pages.
Blog Tour: Interview with Maribeth Barber, Author of Operation Lionhearted
Today, I have the honor of taking part of the blog tour for Operation Lionhearted by Maribeth Barber! If you missed it, I actually reviewed this book just a bit ago. I’m not much of a sci-fi person, but this book has changed my mind on that!

Recently, I’ve been on a kick of WWII books. Saving Amelie seemed right up my alley, and oh man. It was.
Mini-review of The Intercession of Christ: Christ, A Complete Saviour by John Bunyan + Select Quotes
The Intercession of Christ: Christ, a Complete Saviour by John Bunyan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
4.5 stars
Bunyan’s commentary on Christ’s intercession for His children explored a glorious facet of the Savior I had never thought about in-depth. However, truly understanding Christ as Advocate on your behalf will bring about a wealth of peace and comfort. Bunyan goes into great detail, speaking to believers and unbelievers and explaining why every person needs Christ to intercede for them. While some parts of this book were quite thick and difficult to understand, there are many gems in here that speak to Christ’s nature. One of my favorites was on Hebrews 7:25: “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Bunyan explains how Jesus is willing to save, and He is also more than able to save – save to the uttermost – all who come to Him! I would recommend this book to any Christian – for we all need to know the benefits of Jesus, our complete Savior.
