Until I Met You by Tari Faris

Until I Met You by Tari Faris is part of the Restoring Heritage Series. Libby arrives in town as the new librarian. She comes with a past that is difficult and has many hurts to overcome. All the sudden, she meets this rude Austin Williams, who is  working on the town square project. Brandon, the local pastor,  is Austin's brother. Why don't Brandon and Austin get along? What happened in their past that is so difficult to overcome? Fortunately Libby finds Olivia as her new roommate. But why does Brandon keep Olivia at arm's length?

I did enjoy this story, but do need to mention that sometimes the characters were confusing.  I would have liked to see a character list at the beginning.  There are several other books in this series. I think reading the first few would have helped me understand the story as well.  All in all, it was enjoyable and I would recommend this book.  I was given a free copy for my honest review!

Something Worth Doing

Something Worth Doing by Jane Kirkpatrick is the telling tale is Abigail Jane Scott Duniway.  Abigail (sometimes called Jenny) is the well know women’s rights suffragist.  Abigail worked with Susan B. Anthony and many others. 

While fiction, Something Worth Doing, features many accurate and true details of Abigail’s life. This book does add some creativity to the story. It was very informative and interesting to learn the history of Abigail’s  life. 


This book does go in spirts of  sharing  Abigail’s daily life and then moving along a number of years to another event.  I did enjoy this story and would recommend especially for those who want to learn more about the history of women’s rights. 


I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review which I was happy to do.

The Prayer Map Devotional

The Prayer Map Devotional 28 Weeks of Inspired Reading is a beautiful gift devotional book. This book is also a great resource for your own prayer journey.  The Prayer Map Devotional features a weekly fill in for things you are thankful for, things you are worried about, who you are praying for, what's happening in my life, needs and other things on the your heart.  There are then five readings, Monday through Friday to go along with each week.  I appreciate the use of scripture throughout the journal.

This book also features a ribbon bookmark and would make a great gift for a special woman.  The floral and butterfly illustrations add to the beauty of the book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.  But I would recommend this book!
