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.
Sarah Holman lives in central Texas with her amazing family. When not working on her next novel, she can usually be found hanging out with her siblings, reading, or taking long walks. If there is anything adventuresome about her life, it’s because she serves a God with a destiny bigger than anything she could have imagined.
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...
