Some Great Books for Christmas Gifts

Just a few of my favorite things.

 

Chasing fireflies: a novel of discovery by Charles Martin. A heartbreaking, heartwarming story of family; of raw pain finding healing from the acceptance of God.

 

Deceived: a Private Justice novel by Irene Hannon. Mystery, criminal investigation, family and friends. A story I found hard to put down.

 

Brunch at Bittersweet Café by Carla Laureano. I’m going to confess—I am so not a romantic. Just ask my poor husband, who is a romantic. I do read a lot of romance books though, because I like to read Christian fiction, and many are romance books. There are always other interesting things going on in these stories. I am going to heartily recommend this book. It is a romance novel. It also has family rifts that need healing. Friendships that get slammed and need to be built back up. People who have to look deep into how they’ve arranged their lives and figure out the direction their paths and careers need to go. And, they have to examine whether they’ve been fair and real about their faith. It is a delightful story.

 

When Tides Turn by Sarah Sundin. Boston and Atlantic Sea conflict, 1942-1943, WWII. A story of intrigue and French resistance, and American Navy ships in the war against U-boats.

 

Before amen: the power of a simple prayer by Max Lucado. This gentle pastor explains conversation with a loving God to those of us who have a hard time with prayer. The book is encouraging, strong and clear-cut.
