No Way Up by Mary Connealy


No Way Up by Mary Connealy
After ranch patriarch Chance Boden is wounded in an accident, he demands that the conditions of his will go into effect immediately: His children must reconcile and live at home for a full year or forfeit the ranch. He trusts hired hand Heath Kincaid to see it done. But when Heath suspects foul play, his desire to protect Chance’s daughter goes beyond duty.

Here's my review of this western adventure:


First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Mary Connealy and her publisher for sending me a copy of "No Way Up" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

“No Way Up” is the mildly suspenseful kickoff to the new Cimarron Legacy series by Mary Connealy.  Just like Mary Connealy’s other books, “No Way Up” is filled with likeable characters, humor, action, romance and an amazing western landscape.  And even with all this going for it, I struggled to really enjoy this book.

Chance Boden has just been seriously injured in an accident.  He uses the seriousness of the incident to draw his three children back under the roof of the family’s ranch for one year or they forfeit their inheritance.  After saving Chance’s life, trusted ranch hand, Heath Kincaid, sets his eye on protecting Boden’s daughter Sadie and solving the mysterious circumstances surrounding Chance’s accident.

I love Mary Connealy’s writing enough to grab the next book in this series despite this read not being one of my favorite books.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
