Devotions for the Hungry Heart - Shellie Rushing Tomlinson

Devotions for a Hungry Heart -  Shellie Rushing Tomlinson

            I love a great devotional!  I love the title of this book.  I love the description of this book.  Unfortunately I don’t find Devotions for a Hungry Heart is a true devotional book.  Now, that being said, I think it is a well-written book of personal testimonies with a bible verse at the end of the day’s reading and some recipes in the middle that I believe must go along with the title.  (These recipes look AMAZING!)  My husband would call this devotional fluff, but I do think we can learn from other people’s stories. 

            I do believe the Shellie Rushing Tomlinson is chasing after Jesus with her whole heart.  I do believe this would be a great devotional for a new believer to show what faith can look like.  So there are plenty of redeeming things about this book.  I would read this book for the testimonies but not as a devotional.  Her stories are SUPER FUN!  I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.  

Troubled Waters - Susan May Warren

Troubled Water – Susan May Warren

            Ian Shaw has basically lost everything.  His money.  His niece.  And the woman he loves.  He is stubborn for sure.  This is book 4 in the Montana Rescue series and I have wanted this store since maybe the novella -- before the series actually came out I think!  Susan May Warren has left me wanting more in the first 4 books about Ian’s story!

            Sierra has some guilt haunting her when it comes to Ian and his niece.  She also has some personal hardships she is facing.

            Through a series of events that threatens to close down PEAK Rescue Sierra finds herself leading a fundraising trip on Ian’s yacht.  This is where things get interesting.  You need to read the story for yourself to find out.

            I still think there are a few stories to tell in the Montana Rescue series, and I can hardly wait to read them!

            Read this book!
