"To Disguise the Truth" by Jen Turano

 

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Jen Turano and her publisher for sending me a copy of "To Disguise the Truth" 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.

“To Disguise the Truth” by Jen Turano is the thrilling third book in The Bleeker Street Inquiry Agency series.  Jen Turano’s writing transports the reader to times past.  Her word choices are period-specific, and put the reader precisely in the time and place of the action of her story.  This book was an absolute joy to read!

In this tale, Eunice Holbrooke, owner of The Bleeker Street Inquiry Agency, fears that her disguise may be in jeopardy.  In the opening pages of this novel, a man from her past, Arthur Livingston, wants to hire the agency to find an heiress.  Our leading lady, Eunice Holbrook, recognizes potential client, Arthur Livingston, and tries every tactic in her arsenal to dissuade him from hiring the agency.  Finally refusing to take the case, the agency gets involved in another case that leads her right back to Arthur!

This novel contains lots of plot twists and good character development.  Though I am tempted to read the other two books in the series so I can enjoy these characters even more.  I do not often read fiction anymore.  But I’m glad I made an exception for this book.  It’s a great mental escape, and would be a fantastic vacation read.

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). ...
