The Last Ride

From the back of the book:  Andrea Carter is turning sweet sixteen and life could not be better.  School is almost over for good, and there will be plenty of time to train the colt of her treasured horse, Taffy.  Best of all, big brother Chad is giving Andi more responsibilities on the ranch.  

Her first job is to teach city-slicker cousin Daniel how things work on the Circle C.  There's just one big problem: Daniel wants nothing to do with ranch life.  Charming one minute and outrageously rude the next, he ignores common sense, defies authority, and proves to be a danger to everyone including himself.

Then Andi stumbles onto a horrify secret about Daniel,  warns her to stay silent or face the deadly consequences.  But all bets are off when Daniel's actions set off a chain of events that leave Andi brokenhearted and bitter.

This was a wonderful storyline, full of adventure and, of course, gives us thoughts on our own lives.  How would I have handled this situation?  What would I have done?

In this story, we learn about forgiveness and what it can cost us if we don't forgive.   I do enjoy the Circle C series and would recommend them to any young girl.   Especially if they love horses!   It was wonderful to catch up with Andi and her family again, and I can see where there will be at least one more in this series.

Still Restless

From the back of the book:

What would you give to travel back in time and make an appointment with Jesus, to talk to God in flesh?  would you ask the questions that cause you doubt?  Would you expect his answers to bring you peace?  Still Restless relates good news:  God has always had time for honest seekers, even when they have hard questions or objections.  The proof is in the life of Christ.  Jesus met for one-on-one conversations to share the way to truth and life.  He never used the same approach twice, proving that the gospel is designed for everyone, no matter an individual's experiences or personality. 

 

Hettinga walks through these gospel encounters to demonstrate how talking with Jesus is a good thing to do, particularly in today's fast-paced modern world.  Conversations with Christ reveal a spirituality that shuts down evil and empowers good.

This is an interesting book, especially for those who may have questions about the Christian faith, or for those that feel something lacking in their life.   This book reminds the reader that a relationship with Christ is important.  It is very important to have that one-on-one relationship with Christ every day.  

A good book for new Christians, or for those that are still seeking.
