Guess what...Its Monday! What are you reading this week?
Thanks for stopping by. First let me just say that I have been in a little bit of a reading slump (for lack of a better word)... But I have regained some much needed reading pep,
and below is what I am still reading this week.
What I'm Reading:
Hope and love blossom on
the untamed prairie as a young woman searching for a place to call home
happens upon a Kansas homestead during the 1860s . . . A Town Called
Hope, the inspiring series set in post Civil War Kansas, is the creation
of best-selling romance writer Catherine Palmer. In the fast-paced
"Prairie Rose, " impulsive nineteen-year-old Rosie Mills takes a job
caring for the young son of widowed homesteader Seth Hunter in order to
escape the orphanage in which she was raised. Rosie's naive view of love
and her understanding of what it means to have a Father in heaven are
quickly put to the test. Afraid of being wounded again, Seth struggles
to freely open his heart--to his hurting son, to a woman's love, and to a
Father who will not abandon him. Together Rosie and Seth must face the
harsh uncertainties of prairie life--and the one man who threatens to
destroy their happiness.
Praire Rose launches a series sure to satisfy readers who expect solid biblical values in a wholesome, exhilarating romance.

Jeth Cavanaugh is
searching for a new life along one of Pennsylvania's mountain ridges
when he stumbles upon a stable of show jumpers owned by Rob and Katie
Chilton. Throw in a volatile gaited stallion named Dynamo, and Jeth will
do anything to work there. He earns his living by training and showing
Rob's jumpers, but Dynamo is his primary passion. Everything changes
when God enters his life--in the unconventional form of a hard slap by
an old girlfriend--and ignites a new, greater passion within him. But
along with fervor comes fear at the undeniable evidence of God's hand on
his life. Inexplicable events, both good and bad, make him moan
plaintively, "Why does God do this to me? I get the feeling I'm being
set up for something." He is, indeed. Jeth's life is anything but
predictable, much like the God he serves. The real Dynamo and his
ultimate trainer emerge out of an excruciating mix of disaster and
brokenness, which are never beyond the reach of redemption. This story
is God in your face: Who is He, really? What does He ask of us?

Shortly before suffering a tragic car accident, Kate McConnell wrote the simple but powerful words of Psalm 23 on a piece of paper to give to her wayward and confused son. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. . . . As she loses consciousness from her injuries, she wonders if she’s done enough with her life.
When a lonely dry-cleaning employee finds Kate’s humble, handwritten copy of the psalm, it begins an incredible journey around the world, forever changing the lives of twelve very different people. From a soldier wounded in Iraq, to a young Kurdish girl fleeing with her family to Turkey, to a Kenyan runner about to begin the Rome Invitational Marathon, the power of the ancient words begins to take shape in various ways, drawing us into these stories inexplicably linked by the passing of the psalm from one recipient to the next.
Eventually, Kate’s paper makes it back to its starting place, and she discovers the unexpected ways that God moves and changes lives through even our smallest actions.
So, that's what I'm reading...What are you reading this week?
And as always, Happy Reading.....
