god's Book of Proverbs

God's Book of Proverbs is the book of Proverbs arranged topically all in one little book which allows the reader quick access to look up and apply the knowledge and insights of the scripture.

There is also an article "Connecting Wisdom to Jesus" by Trevin Wax explaining how Jesus is the source where our wisdom comes from.  The reader will also find an article on how to read the Proverbs.

The scriptures in God's Book of Proverbs is in the Christian Standard text (CSB); which is easy to read and understandable, and stays as literal as possible to the Bible's original meaning.  This is my preferred translation.

This book would be very useful for those sharing God's word, for writing messages, for Bible study and personal reference.  Small and light enough to carry with you where ever you go.

The Wonder Years 40 Women Over 40

It seems that when women reach a certain age in their life, they start to feel like their value is decreasing; they are facing the empty nest, (the children are leaving home), they tend to feel like they are limited in what they can do, and there is the fear of aging.

Well, it's time to start looking at life after 40 in a different light!  In this book, well-known Christian women from ages 40 to 85 give their wisdom on how to face these worries.  With Spiritual wisdom, a sense of humor, these women give some incredible insight into life after 40.

You will read the writings of   Lauren F. Winner

These women will provide ideas and thoughts about aging and to look at aging with your eyes open to new possibilities and most of all to grow closer to God.  Each essay provides a look into God's perspective on the later years of life, reminding us that it's always possible to serve Him with the life experiences we have.

The book is comprised of short essays, that makes it quick to read, you can put it down and pick it back up at without interruption of the book.

It was interesting and it made me chuckle a couple of times.  This is a good book for those who are in the 40 and over age, or those who are approaching it.   It might even be a good book to do in a group setting with women of this age group.

Pelican Point

Pelican Point is the fourth novel in the Hope Harbor series.   In this intriguing novel, we are introduced to Army doctor Ben Garrison who has arrived back to Hope Harbor for his grandfather's funeral. 

Ben, being sole heir is left everything, including the run-down lighthouse at Pelican Point.  Ben wants to settle his grandfather's affairs and move on to his new practice in Ohio and that means selling an old lighthouse no one wants to buy;  until a developer puts in a bid to buy it and the whole town comes together thanks to Marci, the local newspaper editor to save the landmark.

Can Ben who wants nothing more to settle the estate can't push past the feelings he has for Marci, the strong-willed red headed newspaper editor.  Both Ben and Marci are dealing with past issues that have made them skittish about forming relationships.   Will they be able to move past these issues and yield to their feelings?

The writer has done a great job of bringing you into the small town of Hope Harbor and into the lives of the characters she has created.   I especially appreciated the way all the characters in Hope Harbor revolved around the lighthouse and Charly the taco king.


I like the way she artfully interweaves the characters in this story and creates a subplot.

Although this novel is the fourth in a series, it can stand alone without reading the first three, but once you've read this one you will want to read the rest.
