The Chronicles of Narnia

If you haven’t read the books in this series, I strongly advise you to do so. Adventures, battles, a Great Lion named Aslan, who is involved throughout the whole story even though the reader might not be able to see it.

I don’t want to give everything away, but I must say this: The last book of the “chronicles” may seem like all hope is lost, but at the very end: it makes you so happy that you want to cry!

C.S. Lewis is a genius! Everything in the books seems to have a parallel with the Bible somehow, and I really feel like if I say anything more I’ll end up giving something away… So do me a favor: read them!

Homespun Bride by Jillian Hart

Ok, if anyone gets sick of the book things, just let me know! I'm just trying to bring to light some book that don't get alot of light! Haha! Anyway: Homespun Bride.

A really sweet story, it has all of the essentials for a good book, in my opinion. It has love, drama, God, and a sense of adventure... It does have a little heartbreak, but that's life, and this book sticks pretty close to the "this-is-how-life-is-so-just-deal-with-it-and-keep-reading-it-might-get-better" kind of book.

Noelle is a blind woman, who has suffered heartbreak more than once in her life. And she's determined to make sure she protects everybody from making the same mistakes she did to make their lifes easier (in the case of her cousin) but little can be done when a certain someone walks back into her life after breaking her heart years ago. Just read and see what happens between these two people! Also, your heart cries out to her when she makes the BIGGEST mistake in her life!

Yes I'm trying to remain vague in my book descriptions... but I can't tell you the whole story can I?

The Apothecary's Daughter: by Julie Klassen

So, I've been a bookworm lately.. guilty as charged. Anyway, another "insppirational"  book for you to think about reading.

Simply written, and flowy story line. Keeps you in suspense until the end. Does she mary the friend of her life or the dashing new guy she just met in London? And does her father ever get well? Does she find the woman that left her and her father? Or does she get smaked in the face by a family she never knew she had?

Can't say much otherwise I'll spoil the book! Read it and you'll find all the answers to those questions.... and more!

The Centurion's Wife: by Janette Oke and Davis Bunn

Honestly: this is the BEST book by Janette Oke that I've read so far!!! It's quite inspiring how it tells about the Judean culture and how they did things in the Bible days. Here's what it's about:

Leah, a servant in her uncle's house (Pontius Pilate, yes, that guy who washed his hands of Jesus' life) is forced by her mistress to investigate the death of Jesus, by interacting with the Disciples and the people who hang around them, while they are in Jerusalem. Well, thing is, so is the guy she's gonna be forced to marry, the handsome Centurion. That was a part of what he had to get done in order to become betrothed to Leah. A few threats to some of the favorite characters you meet, and a couple action moments, and sweet one's: it ends. On a particularly sweet note too!

If you read it let me know what you think!
