Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated A Girl's Guide to Landing a Greek God in Books

Mar 9, 2018

A Girl’s Guide to Landing a Greek God by Bill Fuller (Mythmaker’s Trilogy #1) – 4
After running out on her own wedding, Angie takes a trip to Greece with a request from her grandmother to go to one particular island. What she doesn’t know is that on the island is Milos, a man who has been in love with Angie for years. Oh, and he also happens to be a Greek god. What will happen when she arrives?

Fantasy and romance – not my normal genres at all, and this book was heavy on the romance early on, which meant I was a little bored. Once the fantasy began to play a bigger factor in the book in the second half, I got much more interested in the book. So interested, in fact, that I’m looking forward to finding out what happens next to these characters.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Part I is significantly better than part II, particularly because Chesterton is at his strongest when arguing for larger truths than when arguing for specific ones. He is quite convincing in arguing for the influence of God in pagan societies, but less convincing when arguing that God manifested Himself in Jesus of Nazareth (a belief which I do in fact hold) and even less persuasive when arguing that Jesus works exclusively through that peculiar organization known as the Roman Catholic Church. It is not all apparent to me whether Chesterton feels more comraderie with polytheists or Protestants, as his tone seems much harsher when bringing up the latter. Although this is a popular level theology book and Chesterton seems at times to be more concerned with giving a presuppositional framework than stating historical facts, I think it could have benefited from more citations to help demonstrate his points, some of which are so large as to require significant support. If the book only had consisted of the first part, I would probably have given it four stars, with the same concern about citations.

Sue (5 KP) rated Jasmine in Books

Recently divorced Jasmine feels like she has failed everyone; her husband, her kids, and herself. Her ex-husband left her for a younger model, her daughter blames her for the divorce & won’t speak to her, and her son broke his leg as a call for attention.

While making a new friend, a mistake made at a women’s shelter leaves Jasmine in danger and doubting her safety. She seeks the help and guidance of her bible study group the Planted. As she finds a new job and perspective in life, Jasmine is brought closer to God and those she loves.

This is the fifth book in the Christian suspense series, Planted Flowers. As with the other books in the Planted series, this is more than just a book of mystery and romance. The underlining story has to do with finding faith, strength, understanding, and support while gaining a deeper relationship with God and his teachings.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Everything must come to an end... Oh. My. God. This series.

Everything must come to an end... Oh. My. God. This series. I don't think I've been more excited about a release since the Fourth Debt was published. Im left speechless, as I usually am after Pepper's books. Incredible, beautiful, soul crushing, powerful, intense.. I could go on and on and no words would bring it justice. This story is amazing from start to finish.. Jetho and Nila's connection & the depth at which they understand each other is just beautiful to read and the story is nothing like anything you've ever read!? Chapter after chapter she just keeps shocking you with more... How do I describe how truly incredible this book was without sharing any spoilers? YOU. MUST. READ. THIS. BOOK/SERIES. I can't say this enough! After ripping my heart out book after book the Hawk/Weaver story has finally come to an end and I couldn't have imagined it any better. Every question answered, every truth revealed - couldn't have asked for more. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended!!
