Hacker
This was Girl with the Dragon Tattoo meets the Matrix but in a boring way.
To Save a Race
First of all, I know nothing of the steampunk genre so my review will be without regard to genre. In short, I liked the book, but I didn’t love it.
The 49th Mystic
The main biblical concepts found in the book include: perfect love casts out fear, having a right view of who God is, seeing events and people the way God sees them and not through our sinful earthly filter, & knowing suffering and our earthly bodies are temporary and we are made for more than this…
The Returning
The first two books had more plot movement and suspense. This last book seemed more 'fluffy' I guess. Less action more experiential.
The Calling
I am really enjoying the series! You know it’s a confident and good writer when they aren’t afraid to kill off their characters. Two observations on this book:
The Choosing
It challenges you to reflect on where you have your identity and what lies you are believing. And on top of all of that, it was a great story! It has a lot of elements similar to her dad’s writing but…
Operation Bonnet
I heard this author speak in person and thought she was really funny. So I decided to try one of her books. It's not typically my go-to genre, so I guess I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it was a nice change of pace for me and did not disappoint.
Singularity
What I love about Steven James' books is how he wrestles with morality, ethics, belief, etc. He likes to ask questions. And a lot of times it's the questions everyone is thinking but no one wants to ask. I appreciate that about his writing.
Her Baby’s Protector
That being said, both stories were very short- which did not leave any room for character or plot development or backstory. I found the writing a little cheesy, unrealistic, or unnatural...
The Legend of Sheba
There is not much to build on, biblically speaking- We know the Queen of Sheba was intrigued by Solomon and his riches and wisdom and that she paid him a visit. But that’s the…
A Lineage of Grace
Obviously she took some liberties to flesh out the stories as we are not told in the Bible the thoughts and motives and details of these accounts, but the way she writes makes you really see the other side and perspectives of the 'well-known' passages.
Taken
Firstly, you won’t find Liam Neeson in this book. Or any special sets of skills for that matter.
Bridge to Haven
This was a jarring picture depicting our rebellion against God's desire to have a relationship with him.
