Sarah Holman is a not so typical mid-twenties girl: A homeschool graduate, sister to six awesome siblings, and author of five published books and counting. If there is anything adventuresome about her life, it is because she serves a God with a destiny bigger than anything she could have imagined.
That was great, Sarah! I do some of those same things. I also don't read fantasy, or si-f-, horror, thriller, or things like that. And I never have figured out what is so "cozy" about a murder mystery. :P Like you mentioned, checking the one star ratings is something that has helped me. If I see that someone mentioned bad language, or "adult content" I won't go any farther. There have been times when there really aren't any low reviews, so if it's not a free kindle, I'll get a sample of it and see what I think. Sadly, I've discovered that most of those weren't worth reading. I have a hard time stopping a book even if I don't like it. But there are a few things that will make me stop. If the story is putting images in my head that shouldn't be there, I'll quit. I just read one book and gave it a 1.5 star rating. The spiritual aspect was wonderful, but the rest was . . . If a lot of my friends are reading something, I like to wait a bit and see what they are saying before I give it a try. And if I can get a book out of the library, I'll often flip through it before deciding if I really want to read it. I really can't think of any other tips. Thanks for sharing.

While not the best formatted ebook, not an exhaustive history, I really enjoyed this little book. It was a bit of history, with lots of pictures and interesting facts. I look forward to reading more in this series.

I am not going to be to harsh in this review because I didn't finish the book. I got to the chapter of bigotry and I deleted it from my Kindle? Simply put, I think that the author was unbiblical in much of what he said. The book felt lik...
I wrote this story in one day after a conversation with my mom. It is a what if story. What if Joseph of Arimathea was the rich young ruler and was on the road to Emmaus.

Since I really enjoyed Duty, I jumped at the chance to review Honor. After all, I love how Rachel writes her romances. Yes, maybe there is a little more pre...
