A View To Eternity , Sacrificial Touch book 2 by Brian Hartman

Brian Hartman's Sacrificial Touch is one of my all time favorite books, and now I have to add A View to Eternity to my list of favorites. The charcters from book Sacrificial Touch are back and God is again granting miracles. I do have to say I did not see the ending coming but I love it, except for the last page. I highly recommend this series! So grab both books and block off the weekend for a fantastice set of books! I was given a copy by the author for review purposes, but have since bought a paperback copy for my enjoyment! All thoughts are my own!

From Amazon A View To Eternity is the sequel to Sacrificial Touch. It follows Aaron Turner, the son of Dr. Cameron Turner, as the plot rolls forward. Every son dreams of one day surpassing his father, whether in academics, sports, or a career. Aaron Turner has a difficult task ahead of himself after God chose his father, Cameron, to be a literal miracle worker. Pursuing a career in medicine seemed natural for Aaron, but following in the footsteps of a miraculous healer is a monumental task. He struggles with escaping his father's shadow until he has a dream where Cameron challenges his career aspiration and tells him to instead read his Bible. Aaron and his mother Addison receive a gift from Heaven when they open Cameron's Bible. Aaron pivots from his planned career in medicine to one of evangelism when he reaches inside the Bible and receives a gift no one has ever received before. The problem with novel things is no one knows what they are, or what they do. The Turners enlist the help of their pastor to figure out what it means and then share the news with the world. Dr. Michael Potter, along with the ICU staff, work to save the life of a young husband after a severe car accident, while his family works tirelessly to save his soul. A selfless act by his mother buys enough time for him to have one more chance to determine his eternal destiny. Dr. Hans Albrecht returns in his role at the Turner Clinic in Sudan and faces his own challenges in a war-torn area hostile to both the West and Christianity. Aaron is forced into the spotlight when God instructs him to attend a televangelist show, which begins an epic fall from grace. He has little time to rest before God tells him to attend the top R&B performer, Saint Knoxx; someone who openly advocates against God. This novel will have you rooting for salvation of the characters while questioning your own efforts at evangelism. How would your life change if you had a view eternity?

The Final Dispensation: Book 3: The Last Mortal (The Millennium Series) by Dante Lupinetti

The Last Mortal, The third book in The Final Dispensation series takes place 100 years after the Rapture. Benjamin has just died and receives his glorified body. Yeshua sends him on a journy to discover how the people are reacting to thereality of no choice. Interesting theory. So grab a beverage and settle in for an interesting read. I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon: A hundred years of peace. A world that has never known want. And a dead man sent back to ask the one question no one has had to answer: what are you when you've never had to choose? Benjamin is the last mortal man on earth. While the world grows young and deathless around him, he grows old — governing Jerusalem for ninety years, watching the nations arrive at the Feast with matched footsteps and technically correct worship, and naming, too late, what is missing behind their eyes. When Yeshua summons him home, Benjamin dies and wakes glorified. But rest is not what awaits him. He and his lifelong friend Isaac are sent among the nations as witnesses — to see what a century of peace has produced in the hearts of those who have never had to choose. What they find is a world that has learned every word of worship without learning worship itself. And a forgotten settlement in the dry hills where the rain rarely falls — and where the fire still burns. Nine hundred years remain before Satan is loosed to deceive the nations once more. There is still time — time to move from compliance to devotion, from obligation to love. Because Yeshua does not want their attendance. He wants their hearts. And there is no deceiving Him. He is the Word of God, living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, bone and marrow. Nothing is hidden from His sight

Dante Lupinetti has lived in the greater Washington, DC area for fifty years. Assimilated by the Washington DC universe, he has not tried to escape it like so many others. He relishes the richness of its music, culture, artistry, sports, industry, political scene and, of course, family. He writes in a refuge located in Frederick, MD, fifty miles North of DC on the way to Camp David. Dante retired from coding after 45 yrs. commuting the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) as he worked in high tech. Dante is a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ and had been an elder in his previous church. He and his wife, Sue, are very active in local church life. They have five grown children, including one pastor, all following the Lord Jesus (all glory to God) and fifteen grandchildren. On November 29, 2025 they said a temporary goodbye to their fourteenth grandchild, three-year old Sofia, who went home to the Lord after a congenital birth defect called DIPG.

Shattered: A Novel (Vanished series book 2) by Dr. David Jeremiah

Shattered by David Jerimiah takes place during the first 3.5 years after the rapture. The characters are strong and well written. I enjoyed this book although in places it is tough to read. I believe that Dr. Jerimiah has done a fantastic job of merging today's technology with the Biblical texts of Daniel and Revelations. I hope he continues this series. I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

Book 1 From Amazon: "Vanished, Dr. David Jeremiah's apocalyptic thriller, swept me into a world teetering on the edge of eternity . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." --Colleen Coble, Publishers Weekly and USA TODAY bestselling author In this gripping sequel to Vanished--and the second installment in Dr. David Jeremiah’s three-book apocalyptic thriller series--a global power rises, and the ancient prophecies of the Antichrist are set in motion. Two years have passed since millions across the globe disappeared in a heartbeat including John "Haggs" Haggerty's own family. Haggs, a military expert in pandemics, warned his agency of growing patterns in deadly epidemics and other threats to security. Then the "Great Disappearance" and the nuclear destruction of the US changed everything. Now he is invited to join the powerful Trident Group, led by the wealthy Matthias Vilks. Inside Trident, Haggs sees patterns that suggest a coordinated plan to control economies and governments. He is not alone. Israeli tech expert, Saul Katz, saw his colleague disappear before his eyes. Now the Israeli government confiscates his life's work, a defense system for Israel. Li Fan, monitoring seismic anomalies, sees terrifying signals in the earth's activity, but no one will listen to her warnings. As the disturbing pieces fall in place, governments fall, and John and his best friend's daughter, Abigail, begin to see those prophecies from scripture come to life--Israel is in danger, natural disasters rake the planet, and world leaders bow to one powerful man. The signs are clear: the end times are no longer approaching--they have begun. New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah returns with more apocalyptic action and emotion that's infused with his signature perspective and compassion.

Seventh From Adam: A Novel of the Nephilim by Tracy Higley

Tracy Higley's Seventh From Adam was a very interesting book. I enjoyed the author's view of what life may have been like before the flood. I have never read much about Enoch but I am now giving serious thought to reading the book of Enoch. I would add Seventh From Adam to the books you plan to read. It really opened my eyes to the time line of the decendants of Adam and how the generations were alive at the same time. If you enjoy Biblical history, or any history for that matter grab a copy of Sventh From Adam, your favorite beverage and curl up for a great book! I was given an ARC with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon: Before the Great Waters, giants walked the earth. But they were not the gods men believed them to be. Enoch has spent his life working his father's fields, hearing stories of the Holy One and the terrible rebellion that shattered the unseen world. But stories are not enough. He longs to leave the safety of home and discover the world for himself. What he finds is more magnificent-and more dangerous-than he imagined. Across the flourishing cities of the ancient world, powerful beings have set themselves up as gods. Their offspring, the Nephilim, are spreading violence and corruption across the land. And from the gleaming city of Eridu, the demon Enki is carrying out a plan that could bring humanity under the dominion of the Evil One. Enoch is only a farmer. But as his journey takes him deeper into a world of ancient cities, forbidden powers, monstrous giants, and a war most humans cannot see, he must decide whom he will trust-and whether an ordinary man can stand against beings who have convinced the world they are gods. The old stories remember them as legends. The books remembers them as the Nephilim. This is the world before the Great Waters. Seventh from Adam is an epic adventure into the mysterious world of Genesis 6, weaving the account of the Nephilim with the gods, cities, and legends of ancient Sumer.

Seeing Jesus At Christmas by Jeffrey McClain Jones

Seeing Jesus at Christmas has Trudy Jenson from Holding Jesus facing some changes in her life. The good news is that Jesus is still with her. I loved how this book shows all the ways that Jesus helps Trudy as she goes about life and gets ready for Christmas while helping her clients deal with their issues. I love the way Jones portrays Jesus as a loving advocate, showing how Jesus longs to be a part of our lives. I highly recommend the whole Seeing Jesus series. I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon: The Christmas season is supposed to be about peace on earth. Trudy Jensen knows that’s true, she also knows she’s lost track of that peace. In the span of a few months, she's convinced her aging mother to trade Florida sunshine for rainy Oregon, sold one house, bought another, recovered from an injury, and said yes to far too many church commitments. Now Christmas is approaching, and Trudy is exhausted. Somewhere in all the busyness, she fears she's lost sight of what the season is really about—and lost track of her mysterious lifelong friend, Jesus, who has appeared to her at unexpected moments throughout her life. Will he come again this Christmas? Will she see him when she needs him most—or has the noise and hurry of her too-full life made it harder to recognize his presence? As the holidays draw near, Trudy must rediscover the quiet miracle at the center of it all—and remember that the one whose birth she celebrates has never truly left her alone. Seeing Jesus at Christmas is a warm, hope-filled special holiday edition of the beloved Seeing Jesus series, where ordinary people encounter Jesus in the middle of ordinary life. It's a Christmas story about slowing down, finding peace in the midst of chaos, and discovering that Jesus may be much closer than we think

Three Steps Behind : Jeopardy Fall #3 by Dani Pettrey

Jeopardy Fall #3, Three Steps Behind, by Dani Pettrey is a fantastic enemies to lovers story. It is book 3 of a series and would be best read in order. This book is fast paced and suspensful. I recommend you get a goodcup of tea, a cozy blanket and after putting your phone on do not disturb, settle in for a great suspenseful read. I read an ARC of Three Steps Behind with no requirements.

The Altar of Pergamon: The Mystery of the Dark Angel and the Future of the World by Jonathan Cahn

The Altar of Pergamon: The Mystery of the Dark Angel and the Future of the World by Jonathon Cahn is a history lesson shared as a fictional journey. As I read this book I Googled the information and found that it was indeed factual. The story is fast paced and kept me engaged. I wanted to know what was going to happen next.

The Girl Who Sees Angels, (Sophie Ramos book 1) by Jeffrey McClain Jones

Jeffrey McClain Jones has become one of my favorite authors. The Girl Who Sees Angels combines great storytelling with spiritual warfare. I loved watching Sophie become aware of what she had been seeing all of her life. The story was very compelling and I didn't want to put the book down. I loved Sophie's mentor Detta and could see myself sitting down and chatting with her. I highly recommend this book! All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon: Lights in the darkness, shadows in daylight, she has seen them all her life, and feared them. Can she break free now? Does she really want to? Sophie Ramos has always thought she was cursed and maybe crazy. Even her mother doubted her when she was a child. Priests and psychiatrists doubted her too. But psychics tried to recruit Sophie to enrich and empower themselves. Now she’s thirty-two, living on her own, keeping her secret from everyone except her mother and a few close friends. But a threatening specter begins to visit her at night, and more than her sleep is at stake. She follows a friend’s recommendation to visit Detta Washington, a church lady who believes in the spirit realm. Detta becomes convinced that Sophie sees angels and demons. Even if Sophie is skeptical about Detta’s labels for what she sees, she comes to respect the older woman. When Sophie helps free Detta from an incurable disease and releases two of her friends from creepy creatures shadowing them, Sophie starts to embrace her identity. But she still needs help with the ghoul that hovers above her bed at night. And that’s not the last enemy who will threaten her in the dark. Recovering from a life of being condemned as a crazy person, Sophie finds new confidence. She is gifted. She is the girl who sees angels.

The Sacrifice: The Legend of The Kings Ring book 3 by MaryLu Tyndall

I love reading MaryLu Tyndall's books. If you haven't tried anything by her you are in for a treat. Her pirate books rival the most swashbuckling of tales, full of treasures and curses that end up pointing the way to God's soverign power. Ms. Tyndall does a fabulous job demonstrating how spiritual warfare is a real thing. Her characters are wonderful and the plot carries you along causing one to read long past an acceptable bedtime. I highly recommend the whole Legend Of The King's Ring series. So my suggestion is that this would make a great beach read, with the surf pounding in your ears while you sip your favorite beverage as you lie on the beach. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon: A condemned pirate. A powerful heiress. A relic that could change everything. Amos Kent Carlton has faced death before—but never with a noose around his neck. Spared at the last moment and sold into servitude, he vows to reclaim his freedom at any cost. Trust is a luxury he cannot afford… and faith, a relic he left behind long ago. Lady Alexandra Ashcombe commands ships, land, and men with unyielding precision. But when the pirate placed under her authority begins to unravel both her control—and her guarded heart—she finds herself caught in a battle far more perilous than any she has fought in society or trade. For the Ring of Solomon has resurfaced. Sought by those who crave its power, the ancient artifact carries with it whispers of divine authority… and devastating consequence. As enemies converge and the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Amos and Alexandra must confront the truth: Some chains cannot be broken without cost. Some love cannot survive without surrender. And some destinies demand the ultimate sacrifice.

About the author Award winning and best-selling author, MaryLu Tyndall dreamt of pirates and sea-faring adventures during her childhood days on Florida's Coast.

MaryLu makes her home with her husband, six children, four grandkids, and several cats on the California coast, where her imagination still surges with the sea.

Serving Jesus is book nine of ten in Jeffrey McClain Jones Seeing Jesus series. in this book Jesus appears to Bethany, just as he did to her grandma in an earlier book. He gives her comfort and life lessons while encouraging her to serve Him in the everyday business of life. I love this book for showing a relatable Jesus. Very comforting.

When that grandmother develops heart trouble late in Bethany’s semester, she must decide whether to skip finals to be at Grandma’s side.

Criss Cross (Holly 1) by C C Warrens

I've just finished Criss Cross by C C Warrens and wow, I'm glad she is a novelist. Her story was down right disturbing at times, but I really enjoyed reading it. Criss Cross is extremely suspenseful with Holly being actively stalked by someone from a past she can't remember. The plot is well thought out and I enjoyed the relationship between all of the characters. I look forward to reading the next book after I recover from this one. So grab a blnket and your favorite beverage, grab your dog or a taser lol to keep you feeling safe and settle in for a great read. All thoughts are my own

From Amazon: Safety is just an illusion... An illusion shattered by the whisper of footsteps in the darkness behind her. Holly has drifted from one place to the next for as long as she can remember, never settling long enough to build a life. It's the only way she knows how to survive in a world that has no place for someone like her. But when mysterious footsteps follow her home, and she finds a cryptic note taped to her door, she realizes she's stayed too long. The man she's hiding from has found her. But how? When people start dying and old, forgotten memories begin to surface, Holly finds herself wrapped up in a terrifying mystery with God, a pushy Southern detective, and a killer with one thing on his mind: her. “I think that Holly might be my very favorite character that I've ever read! I love her! I laughed out loud, shook with terror, and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to see what happened next. So good!” –Amazon reviewer. “The book is full of edge-of-your-seat, hold-your-breath suspense.” –Amazon reviewer.

Jesus and laughter have brought C.C. Warrens through some very difficult times in life, and she weaves both into every story she writes, creating a world of breath-stealing intensity, laugh-out-loud humor, and a sparkle of hope. Writing has been a slowly blossoming dream inside her for most of her life until one day it spilled out onto the pages that would become her first published book. If she’s not writing, she’s attempting to bake something—however catastrophic that might be—or she’s enjoying the beauty of the outdoors with her husband. One of the many things she’s learned since she started this journey is that the best way to write a book is to go on a long stroll with her husband. That is when the characters—from their backgrounds to the moments that make them laugh or bubble over with anger—come to life. **Disclaimer from the author** If you're looking for a cozy mystery or romantic comedy with an ending wrapped up in a nice little bow, well . . . these books aren't for you. My books are intended to reflect the real world—a world that is messy, terrifying, wonderful, and sprinkled with humor. My hope is that these books will touch someone who has been through something traumatic and remind them that even in our darkest moments, God is with us.

One extraordinary day! Paul Bailly looks like Jesus, so much so that he is playing Jesus in a church passion play. He is worried that people will find out about how unworthy he is to play Jesus...then Jesus shows up to spend the day! Playing Jesus is a fantastic book about Jesus spending the day with a man and helping him discover what he needs in order to be well. I loved this book with it's gentle humor. Reading Playing Jesus leaves the reader content and comforted. I highly recommend the whole Seeing Jesus series of books. So settle in with a mug of tea in your favorite reading spot and be prepared to to evaluate your own relationship with Jesus. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon: He’s afraid his mom and her church will discover his sins. Maybe more afraid of facing the secrets he’s been trying to hide from himself. That’s too much to delve into alone. But what if he’s not alone? Paul Bailey is a daytime TV actor in Hollywood. His faith has been on hold for a few years as he focuses on his career. And he hasn’t been following all the rules church people generally expect. He’s still reeling from his father leaving when he was a kid, his brother overdosing and his sister succumbing to a mysterious illness. His faith was always too fragile to help him fully recover from any of that. Paul goes home to comfort his mother after his sister’s death. His mom is all he has left. To please her, he takes the starring role in her church’s annual passion play. Jesus is someone Paul believes in. He can pretend to be him for his mother and for her big church. Then one Saturday Paul discovers he is not alone in his small apartment. And the entire day is turned upside down by his astonishing visitor. Paul is sure no one will believe what’s happening to him. He’s not fully convinced himself. Until he meets a young woman who seems to recognize what he confesses to her. The eighth novel in the Seeing Jesus series, Playing Jesus tells the story of an ordinary person having an extraordinary experience, an experience he has to see to believe.

Seeking Persephone by Sarah Ladd

Seeking Persephone by Sarah Ladd brings a Beauty and The Beast vibe to a marriage of convenience tale. I loed the strong characters and the setting was fantastic. This is a fun book to curl up with on a long weekend with the added bonus that it is the first book of series. So brew up a pot of tea, add some scones to the tray and enjoy a good read. All thoughts are my own.

When Persephone Lancaster receives a marriage proposal from the ill-tempered Duke of Kielder, she refuses—and then reconsiders. The obscene sum of money he’s offering Persephone would save her family from ruin. With her characteristic optimism, she travels to the far reaches of Northumberland to wed a greatly feared stranger. Lodged deep in a thick forest infested with wild dogs, the Duke’s castle is as cold and forbidding as the Duke himself, a man with terrible scars on his body and his soul. But the Duke’s steely determination to protect his heart at all costs is challenged by his growing attachment to his lovely and gentle bride. With caring persistence, Persephone attempts to pierce the Duke’s armor and reach the man beneath. Yet he cannot tolerate such exposure, and his repeated rejections take their toll. But when grave danger arises, the Duke realizes he must face the risk of revealing his true feelings or lose the woman he cannot live without.

Even In This by Dianna Lanser

Even In This is a very good book. It is honestly not a book you enjoy per say but I did like it. Warning the subject matter can be triggering for some.
