I recently completed this book. It has risen to the top of my favorite list. When telling my Mom and sister about this book I started crying. I had no idea it had had that much of an impact on me. I know this for sure: God cares about the prodigals. And He cares about those who are waiting for them to come home.
A Classic! A tale of redemption and sacrifice. And really, who can’t love a guy who can write sentences like Mr. Dickens?
History! War! Secret Spy Stuff! AND forgiveness! Andy Andrews, the author, has said this is his favorite book he has written. I concur!
I first read this book years ago. I loved it so much I shared it with my husband. The principles and wisdom imparted by a gentleman called Jones are priceless.
This book made quite the impact on both my husband and me. We even adapted lessons from the book and it’s sequel for our young adult bible study. It solidified within us decision making skills and shifted perspectives on so many levels that we couldn’t keep it to ourselves. This is a book to share. I’ve encouraged friends and family (especially my young adult kids) to read this book. Mr. Andrews brings wisdom into our lives through his words.
Don’t forget the sequel! This is my husbands absolute favorite book of all time. And Mr. Andrews is his favorite author.
I’m a huge fan of historical fiction. This one just happens to be my fav!
Okay. So, this one is completely frivolous; but, we listened to this book on a family vacation. My kids didn’t even want to get out of the car to eat. They just wanted to stay in the car. To say this book is riveting would not be an understatement!
Yes. I know. I wrote this one. So, I’m prejudiced. But the cover art by Dawn Estella still amazes me. The process of writing this book forever changed me. I am not the person I was when I began writing this book. My hope is that others are healed as they read these words. We were created to FLY!
Marriage takes work. I read this book at a time in my life when the theme resonated with me.

I Can’t Catch My Breath
May is Mental Health Awareness month. It’s important! I love people who are now or have in the past struggled with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or suicidal thoughts. I am one of those people. At one point of time in my life or another, I’ve struggled with all those things. Sometimes all at once. So, …

A Laughing Heart
It was raining last Friday. I came home from CrossFit already damp with sweat and went immediately outside to stand in the rain. The rain poured down my face and trickled down my back as I lifted my face to the sky. Suddenly, and without too much thought, my feet stepped off the patio and into the grass. What happened next both surprised and delighted me.
