Finding Home by Susan K Macias

Wow! I won this book via LibraryThing and I'm so glad that I did! Here's my review: Wow. I'm still processing this book. It touched my heart on so many levels. The writing is extraordinary. I was literally transported to cities like Ephesus , Meron, and Sepphoris at the time period of AD 19-20. I could hear the lambs that were waiting for sacrifice and smell the roasting meat and baking bread! The complete symbolism of Abba and God the Father blew me away. I have heard the story of the prodigal son since I was in Sunday school, but this book took it to new depths. The love and forgiveness that Abba poured out continuously on his sons brought tears to my eyes. "I give you everything, my possessions, this home, the groves, the vineyards and sheep. Everything is yours. But even more, all my heart is yours, I hold nothing back." The characters are relatable in so many ways. Abba is so generous, loving, forgiving, sincere, compassionate, and giving. Hadassah is a woman of strength. Pavlos is an encouraging and caring man. The brothers- Judah and Seth. Each struggle with various issues. Their stubbornness and pride almost tear their family to pieces. I recommend this book to everyone. The lessons learned by the brothers are relatable. The scriptures used throughout the entire book are inspiring and encouraging! I will definitely be reading it again to see what more I can glean! I won this book from the author via LibraryThing.

Go See America by Matt Tory

Absolutely splendid! Wow! I love this book so much! Here's my review: This is a fantastic book! It's divided into 7 regions of the USA. I enjoyed reading and learning about every place that was included. Some of them I have been to and the rest are on my bucket list. The pictures are extraordinary! They made me want to hop on a plane and go on an adventure. I hope the author writes more books like these. I won a complimentary copy of the book from LibraryThing.

I don't like giving spoilers because I believe that everyone should read and judge a book for themself. This book is worth the time, believe me! Here's my review: Oh wow! This book is amazing!

Until We All Share Joy by Heather Wood

This is a wonderful novella! I was totally captivated by the story in its entirety. The characters are relatable and easy to like. Titan is my favorite! His compassion and gentleman-like ways are endearing. He grows so much during the book and he also helps others grow. Grandfather Gates is wonderful! He appears gruff and grouchy but he has a heart of gold. This book helped me to remember how blessed I am to have a family that loves me and to cherish every moment with them. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series!
