Once Upon a Family

One book I just read is Once Upon a Family, by Margaret Daley, who blogs at www.margaretdaley.com. Here's the back cover blurb from Once Upon a Family...

He knew all about angry teen boys-he'd been one himself.

As the local high school principal, Peter Stone knew troubled student Sean Williams needed his expert assistance. And as a Christian, Peter knew God was leading him to help. Yet it was the boy's mother who captured Peter's notice.

Laura, a widow caring for her four children and ailing aunt, had no time for romance or religion. Somehow, despite her protests, Laura found herself and her brood frequent visitors to Peter's ranch and the church he attended.
Soon it seemed her family was meant to complete Peter's life.


So are you hooked yet? Just reading that little bit from the back caught me, and I knew that I had to read Once Upon a Family, or I would wonder what happened until I did. And I am so glad that I did read it. It was well worth sneaking the time to read and enjoy it. This is another wonderful book from Margaret Daley that I would recommend to anyone that wanted a good read.

Hearts in Harmony

Hey guys! I hope your week hasn't been quite as hectic as mine has! Seeing my cousins :), cleaning my room so that my sister, Abby, and I can move our beds and dressers around and paint...
But even though I am so busy, I still sneak a couple of minutes here and there to read a good book.

Right now I am in the middle of reading Hearts in Harmony, by Gail Sattler, who blogs at www.gailsattler.com. Hearts in Harmony is one of the Men of Praise series, all of which are written by Gail. I must say that if you haven't read Hearts in Harmony, it is a very cool book in a very cool series. Those of us that have read Hearts in Harmony or another in the series know how neat they are. Here's the back cover blurb from Hearts in Harmony...

Lift up your voice!
Playing guitar for his church's worship team was not going as well as Adrian Braithwaite expected. Which was why he was thrilled to find a talented keyboardist in new church member Celeste Hackett.

But there was more to the lovely Celeste than met the eye—the skill that Adrian so valued came from her former career in a rock band. And though the pastor welcomed her, a threat from Celeste's past could destroy what she'd worked so hard to build, unless her musical partner could become her partner for life.

Sounds awesome, doesn't it? That's what I first thought when I read the back of it. So now I'm reading it. If you haven't read it already, this is one book that I'd recommend to anyone.

Be sure to check back later! Janice Thompson will be here with an interview and will be giving away a copy of her book, Fools Rush In. You can check out her blog at www.janiceathompson.com

Have fun!
