Vanished by Dr. David Jeremiah with Sam O'Neal


 

Vanished follows the life of Lt Colonel John Haggerty in the months leading up to the Rapture. I found this book to be well written and engaging. I liked all of the characters and found myself cheering them on, hoping they would make the right decisions. The events in the book seem realistic, as though they could happen at anytime.  Although it doesn't say I feel this is the first of a series and I eagerly look forward to reading the next book. 


I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.


From Amazon:

The end of the world . . .

As leader of a special military unit charged with stopping potential pandemics before they spread, John "Haggs" Haggerty has a front-row seat to the sharp increase in natural disasters that precede the Rapture--including plagues, earthquakes, famines, wars, and rumors of war. And each crisis is becoming more intense.

Meanwhile, his own world feels like it's falling apart. He's still caught in the grief of messing up his relationship with his ex-wife, and he's trying to keep it together so that he can show up for his adult daughter before she wants him out of her life entirely. As both personal and professional situations push him to the brink, Haggs finds himself stretched further than ever in his desire to be the kind of good person he knows he should be.

Just when it seems as if things might turn around, Haggs is forced to decide between his need to find solutions and his need for personal redemption.

A Seaview Christmas: An On Devonshires Shores Novella by Julie Klassen releasing September 2, 2025

 


A Sea View Christmas: An On Devonshire Shores Novella was a fun book to read. I enjoyed reuniting with the Summer sisters as they move on from a life of gentility to running a boarding house among other careers. The plot was interesting and I really liked the characters. I loved the setting of Seaview. I recommend reading the first three books as this is not a standalone book. 


So set the air conditioner on high, get a cozy blanket and a pot of tea to drink while you savor A Sea View Christmas.


I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.


From Amazon:

The holiday stirs up excitement as fondly remembered guests come to stay and acquaintances grow into more. . . .

With a promise to her youngest sister, Sarah Summers declares that this year's Christmas at Sea View will exceed all expectations. But an upcoming trip to Scotland--and the prospect of becoming reacquainted with dashing widower Callum Henshall--blows a flurry of doubts into her mind. Sarah had discouraged his attentions before yet soon finds herself once again torn between attraction and duty as alluring thoughts of a second chance at love weave their way into her practical heart.

Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Georgiana eagerly anticipates the exciting Christmas of her dreams after last year's dull, disappointing holiday filled with endless chores. She enjoys all the promised parties, music, and dancing, but is taken by surprise when young love comes knocking. Does the festive romance of a Sea View Christmas hold the key to a happily-ever-after for both sisters?

Spend the holiday season with the Summers sisters on the charming Devonshire coast, where family bonds are strengthened, love is rekindled, and Christmas joy abounds.

Julie Klassen's heartwarming Christmas companion to the On Devonshire Shores series holds themes of friends to more, sisterhood bonds, and matchmaking that will fill you with holiday spirit. This novella can be read separately or along with the series and will appeal to fans of Jane Austen, English Regency romance, and Downtown Abbey.

Final Approach (Lake City Heroes book 4) by Lynette Eason


Wow! I just finished reading Final Approach, book number 4 in Lynette Eason's Lake City Heroes series. It was such a fanatastic read that I am struggling to decide what to read next. I loved the characters, the setting and the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat! Ms. Eason did a fantastic job of weaving faith into her characters in a way that was natural and not forced. I am very sad to see this series end as I have become quite fond of these characters, perhaps they will make cameos in future books and update us as to what is going on in their lives!


So block out some reading time, get a pitcher of your favorite beverage, and settle in for thrilling conclusion to the Lake City Heroes by Lynette Eason!

From Amazon:

She's intent on investigating a sinister plot of revenge, and it will take all her courage to survive.

Air Marshal Kristine Duncan is not on duty when a hijacker attempts to seize control of the plane she and her friends are on as they head out on a much-needed vacation. Jumping into action and aided by FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross, Kristine thwarts the attack and the plane lands safely. But as the investigation into the incident gets underway, Kristine and Andrew are confused at every step. Nothing about the investigation goes as it should, and each layer they peel back just reveals another layer of perplexity.

As the two work together to navigate a web of deception, blame, and personal reckoning, they find there's more to this story than meets the eye--and more to love and admire about each other. They'll have to put their skills to the test--and their hearts on the line--to unravel the truth and ensure that justice prevails.

Kingdom: Christian End Times Fiction (The Two Witnesses Book 1) by Jeffrey McClain Jones

 



Kingdom is a very interesting book. It was hard to tell when exactly this book takes place, but I feel it occurs before the rapture. I enjoyed Eli and Miriam and their companions. The demonstrations of God's power were awesome! This book made me think about my faith and wonder if I will ever see miracles like those in the book. I am looking forward to reading book 2 and see where Mr. Jones goes with his story.

I would suggest fixing a pitcher of iced tea and settling in for a great read. 

I borrowed this book from Kindle Unlimited. All thoughts are my own.



From Amazon:

“I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” They are “the two olive trees … they stand before the Lord of the earth.”
Revelation 11:3&4

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world …”
Ephesians 6:12

They possess neither lofty titles nor great wealth, and their weapons cannot be seen with natural eyes. Yet the impact of their authority is unmistakable. And the powers of darkness rise in retribution.

In the not-too-distant future, a woman watches an internet video stream from the other side of the world and knows she has found the partner she’s been waiting for. In those images she sees a young waiter with miraculous power, power to heal dozens in one evening. With her sister a political prisoner in China, she’ll have to take her niece with her to search for that young man, and to shelter the little girl from the grasp of the Chinese government.

As wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods ravage the world, anarchy and violence continue to increase. Rulers serve only their own interests and those of the wealthy, leaving billions to starve. What can two people, and their small band of followers, do? They can bear witness to the truth, truth that is light penetrating the darkness.

Join Eli and Miriam as they carry that light through a world full of conflict and chaos. They cross the globe, following God’s supernatural direction, and conquer sickness, sin, and death.

Will their testimony change the world? Will it inspire the timid church? Or will they merely incite the hatred of those who steal, kill and destroy? How much will it cost them to bear witness to what principalities and powers wish to keep hidden?

—That the power present in the two witnesses proves Jesus is alive and advancing in their world.

The TWO WITNESSES series will include three volumes: KINGDOM, Book 1; POWER, Book 2; and GLORY, Book 3.


About the author:



When I begin a story, it’s usually with a “what if.” What if I could be there on a day when Jesus healed a whole multitude of people? What would it be like for Jesus to be visible and audible beside me today? What will it look like for Jesus to reign on the Earth? This is why I’ve identified somewhat with the genre known as “speculative fiction.” It’s not science fiction, because the context and the characters are all realistic, in my world view. It’s not fantasy for lack of wizards, swords and unicorns. But it is a stretch beyond what most of us normally see and hear in our daily lives.

Of course, this all works best if it comes with easy to grab handles, ways we can identify with the story. That’s where the characters come in, people like you and I, who stand stunned--or leap and laugh--at miraculous circumstances plunked right into their lives. While I’ve been told that Jesus can’t be the hero of my stories, because readers need to identify with the characters, I always want to test the limits of that kind of thinking. After all, Jesus was the first born of many sons and daughters, not an entirely different species from us.

I’ve been fascinated by stories all my life. I love to read biographies as well as classic fiction. I guess I came to favor fiction because it stretches beyond the mundane toward the unknown. Imagining my own stories--and even writing some--from an early age, I credit my maternal grandmother with instilling the wonder and fascination of reading. I still remember her reading to me when I was five years old, or even younger.

After majoring in writing in college, I diverted toward more respectable occupations than fiction writing. I had to satisfy that creative itch, instead, by making up stories for my sons. During those years I also became an intense movie fan. This may help account for the way I can picture my stories as they unfold in cinematic detail, even if I haven’t master describing all that detail.

After a long hiatus from fiction writing, I started again in about 2006, after a friend prescribed an effective way to meditate on scripture. He suggested that I choose a biblical story and imagine being inside it. In fact, I can remember this same assignment from tenth grade Bible class in my little Christian high school. When I tried it as an adult, I started with one of the stories of Jesus healing a whole multitude of people, and my imagination took off with the scenes that might have filled such a day. All my years of Bible classes, up through a degree in Biblical Studies, paid dividends in adding details to those scenes. And I was on the way toward writing my first completed novel.

Yes, I have started numerous stories that remain unfinished. The best ones, however, drive me to completion, compelling me to find out what happens next. Once I’ve imagined the circumstances and inserted characters for whom I care, and with whom I’m also fascinated, I feel as if I get to watch the story unfold much like a reader does.

Beneath The Dust by Eunice Wilkie

 



More Than Dust by Eunice Wilkie, while a novella of 134 pages, is a fascinating tale of what might have been going on in heaven during the time of Earth's creation. The story is told from the perspective of 3 angels. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of Ms. Wilkie's books.

This is a great book to settle back with a glass of iced tea on a back porch on a warm summers day.

I borrowed this book from kindle Unlimited. All thoughts are my own.                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

From Amazon:

Heaven’s Perspective on Earth’s Creation

Three angelic lords—an emissary, a warrior, and a scribe—witness the breathtaking drama of Earth’s creation unfold. Is this how the angels see us…?

Excitement fills the courts of Heaven as the angels behold their Creator speak a magnificent new world into existence. Great is its beauty and intricate its design. But who will be chosen to govern it?

Then, on the sixth day, something even more astonishing occurs. The angels watch in awe as man is formed—a being made in the very image of God. Given dominion over Earth, honoured with friendship with the Almighty, and placed above even the highest angels, humanity is gifted beyond measure. But what will be the outcome of such favour? What will be man’s destiny?

Amidst these celestial events, three angelic companions find themselves at the heart of it all. Kal is an emissary, carrying out Heaven’s business. Tobiah is a master scribe, recording God’s wondrous creations. Ari is a captain, charged with defending divine interests.

As Lucifer’s rebellion stirs, these angels witness firsthand the unfolding of God’s grand design for humanity—a plan that will be challenged but never overcome.

This thought-provoking biblical fiction presents the creation of the world through an angel’s perspective, blending Christian apologetics with imaginative storytelling. While rooted in Scripture, this novella-length work will interest anyone who ponders the origins of humanity, the meaning of life, and the eternal purpose of God.

Step into Heaven’s story of Earth and discover the destiny of humankind.

God's Deplorables: A Grace Like a River Flows Story by R. Marshall Wright

 


Although Robbie Lennox has been the pastor of Hope Church in Glencoe for 6 years, the next 6 weeks are going to shake him to his core! I loved the plot of God's Deplorables and the characters were fantastic! Look for Gabriel and Beasley, they are delightful. This is the first book I have read by Mr. Wright and I feel that I have missed quite a few books about this same town. I hope to remedy that in the near future. I especially loved the way that God's love and grace come alive in the church and spread out into the town. God's Deplorables is a fantastic book that will convict you and make you want to up your service to God. 


So grab a pot of tea, a snack and settle in for an awesome read. Be warned, I read this book in one day, it was that good!


I borrowed this book from Kindle Unlimited. All thoughts are my own.


From Amazon:

The cover illustration and title tell you nearly everything you need to know about my new story. Meet Gavin Newel, a drunken, homeless bum—or is he? Marybeth, Mindy, Michael and Gregory, and Sonny and his wife Margo are also God’s deplorables. These are those people you feel sorry for and are willing to help, at a distance, because you don’t want them in your church. Neither did Robbie Lennox, pastor of Hope Church. Robbie was the product of a mega church preaching “love Jesus and get rich.” In six years, Hope Church had gone from a tiny country church outside Glencoe to over three hundred in attendance. Suddenly, these deplorables began attending Hope Church, and panic set in among Robbie, and the elders. “They will drive off members and visitors.” The answer was simple—they had to go. But people and things aren’t always what they seem, and God had another idea as Robbie’s future was placed on the line.

Two Seconds Too Late (Jeapardy Falls book 2) by Dani Pettrey

 

Two Seconds Too Late is the latest romantic suspense from Dani Pettrey. I have never read a bad book by Ms. Pettrey and this book certainly does not disappoint. I loved Riley and Greyson and the way they each face their fears. The hunt for Riley's friend, Kelley, is exciting and quite suspenseful. I enjoyed trying to guess what was going to happen and also enjoyed the way the characters turned to God for help. I highly recommend the Jeopardy Falls series and look forward to book three.


So brew up a pot of tea and settle in for a suspenseful read.

I finished reading an ARC of  Every Hour Until Then a few hours ago and have been scrolling through the 2000 plus books on my kindle trying to decide what to read next. Unfortunately after reading Every Hour, nothing else is appealing to me. I absolutely loved Kathryn in both of her timelines! She is a fantastic lady and I enjoyed all of her adventures in both 1888 and 1938. But hold onto your hats as there are some plot twists that will catch you by surprise! With every one of Gabrielle Meyer's Timeless books I think that she can't do any better, then comes the next book proving me wrong!

As she delves into her grim research, she uncovers a chilling truth: Her own sister is destined to become the Ripper's final victim decades earlier.

In 1888, in a race against fate, Kathryn is assisted by her handsome childhood friend in hunting down history's most elusive killer.
