"The Daniel Prayer" by Anne Graham Lotz

Many people today find that their prayers don’t “work.” And like a broken cell phone, DVD player, or TV remote, they throw prayer out as unnecessary “clutter” in their busy lives. Anne Graham Lotz has found that while prayer does work, sometimes the “pray-ers” don’t. So she has turned to the prophet Daniel for help. The Daniel Prayer is born deep within your soul, erupts through your heart, and pours out on your lips, words created by and infused with the Spirit of God quivering with spiritual electricity. It’s really not an everyday type of prayer. It’s a prayer birthed under pressure. Heartache. Grief. Desperation. It can be triggered by a sudden revelation of hope. An answer to prayer, a promise freshly received, a miracle that lies just over the horizon… Join Anne in a thrilling discovery of prayer that really works. This book will help readers pray effectively for their nation, for their families, and for themselves. She will answer such questions as: • Does God only hea

Looking for Lovely by Annie F. Downs

Here's my review of this "Lovely" book: First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Annie F. Downs and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Looking for Lovely" 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. “Looking for Lovely” by Annie F. Downs is a beautiful book!   As I neared the end of the first section of the book, I felt myself getting discouraged at all the not so lovely the author was bringing to light.   Much of the not so lovely was (or still is) part of my life.   Part I ended right on time because my heart was hungry for some lovely.   Annie Downs exposed me to some things I never knew, made me look at my own world for the lovely around me and helped me to destroy some long-standing “uglies”. I’ve read several other reviews stating “Looking for Lovely” might not be for everyone.   However, if you approach thi

Like Never Before by Melissa Tagg

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Melissa Tagg and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Like Never Before" 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. “Like Never Before” by Melissa Tagg is the beautiful love story of Amelia and Logan.   Amelia is the editor of a small town newspaper.   Logan is a successful speechwriter who has just inherited the newspaper where Amelia works.   Being thrust together professionally seems to be just what these two wounded people need to heal and become whole again and, of course, find the love of their lives. It takes an amazing author to craft believable characters that are writers, themselves.   Melissa’s writing is fast-paced, witty and intelligent.   She entertains with snappy dialogue and beautifully molds characters that are easy to care about.   She tackles subplots like single parenthoo
