  • Centralia, by Mike Dellosso

    You awaken from a nap disoriented. Momentarily panicked, you wonder what day it is. What time is it? Is it day or night? After a few moments, the fog lifts in a flood of remembering, and you breathe a sigh of relief. But what if you woke up into a nightmare of disorientation that didn’t…

  • JANUARY JUSTICE by Athol Dickson

    Having discovered the writings of Athol Dickson, and I am immediately captivated by his writing style. Where many authors who write Christian works always wrap their stories up in neat little packages and \”happily ever after\” endings, Athol\’s writings do not, because life isn\’t always about happy endings. His stories are honest, often involving gut-wrenching story…

  • A Thousand Sleepless Nights, by Michael King

    Hey, folks, if you haven\’t read this book, I would like to encourage you to do so… A Thousand Sleepless Nights is a bittersweet tale of illness–both physical and emotional.  Nena Hutching was determined to keep the land left to her by her father, but she lost her children in the process.

    Pilotville is a town built on stilts and lies. It’s the place where Hale Poser, who was raised in an orphanage, arrives looking for answers to his past—“his mother, or his father, or at least a tombstone with their name—his own name, whatever that might be.” What he discovers is a town that is full…

  • The Cure by Athol Dickson

    How would you respond if someone offered you a pill that could cure your addiction instantly? She dropped the envelope in the offering plate. The note inside it read, “May the Lord forgive me, I should have done this long ago. Whoever opens this, please give it to the pastor. He’ll know what to do.…

  • Two Reviews of the 7Hours Series of books

    The Last Night of Alton Webber (7 Hours series) What a fantastic twist to the Seven Hour series of books! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this book–the new approach to the character of Thomas Constant, the personalities of each of the characters as the storyline developed, and the surprise of coming up to the…

  • Women Will Also Enjoy Covenant of War by Cliff Graham

    Covenant of War (Lion of War Series) For any woman who thinks perhaps this set of stories might not interest her, I say don\’t listen to that voice! These books are completely satisfying for those women who wish to experience the Bible with fresh eyes and in vivid detail.

  • Nightmare by Robin Parrish

    Okay, I\’m afraid of ghosts. And I have to tell you, after reading this story, I am still afraid of them. In fact, I might believe in their existence more than I did before I began the book. I must say, my thought so many times as I read the book was, \”why would anyone…

  • They Shall See God by Athol Dickson

    When I first started reading They Shall See God, I got a little bogged down in all the different characters. I had trouble remembering why we were talking about a particular one, but as the story progressed the characters took a definite shape along the story line and their purpose to the story became clear.…
