BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated An Hour Unspent (Shadows Over England, #3) in Books

Jan 2, 2019

Every book in this series has completely blown me away. And through it all, I have been LONGING for more about Barclay. I was so ecstatic when I found out Roseanna White would be featuring him in the final book of the series. Now, don't get me wrong, Evelina is the perfect match for him, and I enjoyed her story too...But BARCLAY...SWOON...

He truly deserves the title of "Swoon Worthy". From the care for his family to his undercover work, to learning about his childhood...Your heart will ache, cheer, and be encouraged. The author has created a whole world of people that carve out their own place in your heart. There is no going back once you dive into this realm.

True to her style, Roseanna seamlessly weaves faith, love, and bit of mystery into this story. Set in the midst of The Great War, this is the perfect story for anyone who loves Downton Abbey or WWI history. Or maybe, you are looking for something new-to-you. You won't go wrong with this series. Start with A Name Unknown and fall in love with Rosie and Peter first!

I received a complimentary copy of An Hour Unspent. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

MaryAnn (14 KP) rated Fruit Flies in Our Faith: Nurturing and Sharing the Fruit of the Spirit in Books

Nov 4, 2019

What happens when we let a bowl of pears sit on the counter a bit too long? Mushy fruit and fruit flies!

What happens when we let the Fruit of the Spiritlove, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) sit unused? Spiritual Fruit Flies! The Fruit of the Spirit never goes bad but spiritual fruit flies, like worry, temptations, impatience, bad habits, etc. distract us from living out the Spirits fruit in our lives.

In Fruit Flies in Our Faith you will learn to:

Listen to the Spirit and begin to recognize the spiritual fruit flies buzzing around you.

Rely on the Spirit to begin to make realistic changes to exterminate those pesky fruit flies.

Experience the wonder of the Spirits fruit growing and ripening in your life.

Share the Spirits delicious fruit with the world around you.

Focus on what the Spirit is teaching you through your own experiences and stories.

My Thoughts: We certainly know what happens when we don't use fruit, it rots! God has given us fruit to use and use it we must. In this book, the reader will learn to recognize their fruit and to learn to use it before it stagnates.

With lots of good teaching and encouragement, the reader will learn to grow and develop their fruits.

Truly encouraging and inspiring!

Violet is the fourth book in the Silver series and we find out more about Colleen, Kaynan's younger sister who died in the car crash with him. Just like him, her DNA has accepted the werewolf gene but she is unable to control her shifts. When she is with Roger, who is trying to help her control them, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with a shifter who refuses to speak with anyone.

This is a brilliant read! You have the heartwarming love and faith in each other that Rafe and Colleen bring to the table, plus the horrifying depths that Kaynan goes to when trying to rescue some of the other 'experiments' and blow up the centre. Colleen and Rafe heal each other and the ending offers the hope of healing for others too.

Once again, this world continues to delight as you have very different stories for each of the books. The world-building is consistent and this book has new characters who show up that I am hoping will return - although I would prefer a different Christmas present!

This is a fantastic series and a brilliant book that I have no hesitation in recommending.
