A Time to Stand by Robert Whitlow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital ARC of this book.

I believe this book has a wonderful theme - justice for all. However, I could not get into this book. The characters were pretty forgettable. In fact, I read this book for a while and went almost all week without reading it and didn't wonder about what would happen in the book. It seems pretty predictable.

I was hoping to find a really good Christian fiction. Instead, I would say that it is pretty typical of the genre. The characters were pretty predictable as well as the plot.

Beautiful in God's Eyes: The Treasures of the Proverbs 31 Woman by Elizabeth George

Beautiful in God's Eyes: The Treasures of the Proverbs 31 Woman by Elizabeth George
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to receive a free digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I both loved and hated this book. I loved it because Elizabeth George clearly laid out what a "proverbs 31" woman should look like. I hated it for the same reason. Studying the Proverbs 31 woman exposed some real weaknesses in my life as a wife and mother that I did not care to change. It is not comfortable when the Holy Spirit reveals areas that you are weak in. However, Elizabeth George has accomplished what a good Christian writer should - to create a book in line with the teachings of God's word that, through application and God's help, changes the reader.

I now have a more clear vision of what I want to be as a wife and mother thanks to the encouragement through these pages.

The Girl Who Came Back by Kerry Wilkinson

The Girl Who Came Back by Kerry Wilkinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is very suspenseful and keeps you wondering up until the very end. The story begins with a young woman who claims she is the lost daughter of Sarah. She supposedly disappeared when she was a little girl and was presumed dead.

There is a subplot about a girl's life named "Lily". The reader is thrown back into time to look at her life as she was growing up.

I will not say how these two are connected, but I will say that the author did a great job of pulling off the plot of this book!
