Dear Readers,
Announcing the Favorite book of the year nominees.
Judge by J.R. Larson - Prophet could also easily go here. With good fantasy like this coming to the market more and more readers will find Christian fiction
Into the Free - Julie Cantrell - I just loved learning about Millie. Nothing stopped her from doing what she wanted to do.
Flame of Resistance - Tracy Groot - This book has generated more conversations that just about any other book I have read.
Opening Moves - Steven James - The prequel to the Patrick Bowers. This one kept me up at night. If you haven't read this series, it is very very good.
Envelope please
The winner is... The Flame of Resistance - If you have not had a chance to read it, put it on your Christmas list and then make sure you read it. It is a book that I am hearing back from both male and female readers, young and old, that are reading it and enjoying it.
I just had a very interesting conversation with a customer in the store about the book. She grew up in the Netherlands during WWII. She was 5 towards the end of it and so didn’t remember much, but she was surprised how hard it was for her to read as it did remind her of certain things she thought she wouldn’t have understood or remember. But she has started talking to family members about different things their families had gone through during the war. It has really opened up a new way to connect with family members.
That is what I think fiction books can do in ways non-fiction can’t. Not only did this book entertain us, it taught us about what life really was like during a time most of us were not alive to experience or lived across the ocean in safety.
Happy Reading
