From Catherine:

A Man Called Blessed by Ted Dekker


“A story with miraculous surprises.   The leading lady is much like Ziva on NCIS.  The leading man is nothing like Gibbs, but he gets the job done.”

Death of a Dude by Rex Stout


“As usual Nero and Archie do a great job in solving another murder mystery.  One of the few cases where they leave New York City.”

Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich


"This was one hilarious murder mystery.  Colorful descriptions made characters really come alive!"

Rainel gives us two reviews:

Healing of Memories  by David Seamands


“Seamonds writes this book very carefully. It treats many topics related to memories, including memories blocked. This book is useful both to the person seeking the healing of memories, as well as for pastors and counselors. Time can not completely heal the memories of painful experiences that hurt us long ago and have been left out of our conscious mind. In the healing of memories, David Seanmands shows how the healing power of God can free us from the tyranny of painful memories that affect our behavior and Christian growth. Pastors and counselors can learn to discover when and how to use this form of therapy." This title is not currently in the library catalog


Transforming Worldviews: An Anthropological Understanding of How People Change  by Paul G. Hiebert


“Hiebert makes a comparative study, thorough and comprehensive world view and its implications from an anthropological perspective that the Christian must learn to apply the biblical worldview in a multicultural world. He analyzes the worldviews that missionaries must know when to evangelize in a world glocal (global + local) cosmopolitan and polytheistic. The missionary must know the views of communities from small scales as well as large cities, such as the peasant world, modernity, the current context of postmodernism / hiperposmodernidad or globalization / retribalization glocal context and the new ministry century. The author examines each of these worldviews and the impact it has on the Christian mission and compares it with the biblical worldview. He notes that the mission was previously focused on the change in behavior and belief, however, Hierbert suggests a third element   to achieve these various worldview: the Christian must make a change in the vision he has of the world to understand so you can make a contextualized ministry to different cultures, which always contextualized ministry lies in the behavior and beliefs based on biblical principle of sola Scriptura.” This title is not currently in the library catalog

From Jennifer:

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Romance and Mystery

Three reviews with something in common.

From Bonnie:

Sizzle by Julie Garwood


“Definitely a romantic mystery.  Not my kind of book!  I was fooled by the jacket and the mentioning of an FBI agent.  The story is about a film student that accidently takes something valuable from a sleazy gangster.  The story then unfolds with her needing personal protection and this "Greek God" FBI agent is assigned to her.  Lots of small plots involving her family and a small time looser criminal that continues to try and outsmart himself only to find that everything he tries just fizzles. Not recommended for real mystery stories reader.”

Smokin Seventeen by Janet Evanovich

“Once again, Janet Evanovich wrote a funny and thrilling book. I love her Stephanie Plum series. This story was an easy and entertaining read. I have to admit I figured out who the murderer was in the beginning but it was still a great book to read. There were several parts that were laugh out loud funny.”
