Review of “Still” by Jenny L. Donnelly

This is my first book I’ve read by Jenny L. Donnelly. I’ve not read the other book she has written. The subject of this book is the main reason I was so excited to read it. I feel like I constantly deal with fear and anxiety. From the very first chapter, Jenny had me captivated. I absolutely love her comparing fear and anxiety and their root to a tree. I’ve never thought much about the fact that if you ask yourself “What will make me feel better?” instead of “What is causing this?” (Page 21) then you’re only getting to a temporary solution to the problem or a branch and not to the cause for the problem or the root. I also really appreciated that she points out that she realized she was wrong when she originally thought that people dealing with these issues were of weak mind or faith. (Page 20-21). The author realized this because she herself started feeling fear and anxiety. The author divides the book into three sections: 1. The Search for Rest, 2. Seven Ways to Rest and 3. Rest is a Position. If you also deal with fear and anxiety, then this book will help you.

Review of “The Way of the Brave” by Susan May Warren

I am a big fan of Susan May Warren so I was really excited to read this book. This is the first in a new series called “Global Search and Rescue”. I was not disappointed with the characters or the plot. This book definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. You find yourself rooting for all of the characters in the story. Even though I’ve never been in the same situation these guys and girls find themselves in, I imagine what I would feel like if I was and it is terrifying to think about. However, I did feel as though I needed a lot more knowledge of climbing. It would have helped me understand what was happening in parts of the story better especially at the beginning. I am definitely looking forward to the next one in the series.

Review of Lynette Eason’s “Collateral Damage”

Fans of Lynette Eason are in for a real treat when reading her new book “Collateral Damage.” If you have never read her books but enjoy a fast paced mystery, you will definitely enjoy this book. It is the first one in a new series. Fasten your seatbelt as you go on a roller coaster ride with Asher and Brooke.
At first the characters you meet seem disconnected, but the more you read, the more the plot unfolds and you start to make connections. You may wonder who can be trusted. Was someone you thought to be trustworthy really a traitor? Can greed lead a person to sell his/her soul? Just when you think you have it all figured out, something happens and you find a need to rethink things.
This book is a real page turner! I cannot wait for the second book in this series!!

Review of “Always Look Twice” by Elizabeth Goddard

“Always Look Twice” by Elizabeth Goddard is an excellent Christian fiction novel that will appeal to the reader who enjoys mystery with a touch of romance. Many people would agree that facing one’s past can be a challenge and something they are not overly eager to do. The main characters in the book, Heath and Harper, are doing just that. They struggle with their past, and throughout the book, their decisions are heavily influenced by their past experiences. They are both carrying a sense of guilt and feel they do not deserve happiness. This book is one that will hold the reader’s attention from beginning to end!
