The Chronological Guide to the Bible
On 3/17 brenda keller wrote: I hesitated to read the Chronological Guide to the Bible. I'm not much for the Bible in Chronological order. I think it's interesting, but a little redundant especially in the Gospels! I did enjoy this reference tool though. The format is extremely easy to follow. I love the headlines of the books, the ... Chronological
Jane Austen
On 2/26 brenda keller wrote: I really love Jane Austen, but can't say I've ever known much about her life. I like how this series of books focuses on how these authors came to a Christian faith.

The Voice of Psalms
On 2/17 brenda keller wrote: I hate to write this post because I've seriously enjoyed every book I've gotten from Thomas Nelson so far. And I do love the Psalms still!

Tithing
On 2/9 brenda keller wrote: First of all, I have read all of the ancient practices series and have loved every single title. Tithing is the 7th volume.

How to Reach Your Full Potential for God
On 1/3 brenda keller wrote: I would love to think at the end of my life I will stand before the Lord and He will say, "You did everything I planned for you to do - to perfection."

Jesus Lives
On 12/18 brenda keller wrote: Sarah Young has been one of my favorites for a very long time. I love the way she brings Jesus into a conversation with her readers and makes you feel like He's speaking just to you. Just about everyone I know has read Jesus Calling more than once. I've gotten it as a gift more than once and each time ... Loved It

Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World
On 10/18 brenda keller wrote: I have to admit that reading Dr. David Jeremiah's work is not my typical read which is why I'm loving reading for Thomas Nelson. It's pushing me outside my comfort zone and right into some amazing material. Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World is both relevant and exceptionally timely not just in ... Great read!
The Busy People's Fast and Frugal Cookbook
On 10/5 brenda keller wrote: I always say I can cook but I don't which is true. I can follow a recipe with the best of them, but a chef I am not. This cookbook was made for people like yours truly! The recipes are sooooo easy, but look a lot harder when they're done (do NOT tell me you don't like that!). I love the Almond Steamer ... Sooooo Easy!
Seaside Letters
On 9/24 brenda keller wrote: I have never read Denise Hunter, but I'm very happy I stumbled upon this great book.
