Possibilities by Debra White Smith

I have read one other Persuasion adaptation and one movie version. 
I have yet to read the original Jane Austen. 
I thought this was a sweet story about fighting and hoping for love no matter the odds. 
I love the theme of second chances. I enjoyed the tension of how the characters both had to overcome their insecurities and be bold.
I liked the parallels that were made with the original story line.
There were parts that I feel the romance kind of lagged a bit.
However it had a sweet ending. 
While not my favorite adaptation of this story,  it was enjoyable.

Synapse by Steven James

Wow! Though not my average type of read, this book sucked me in for a wild ride that was filled with deep thought provoking points. The Sy-Fi angle was different, but I rolled with it and Jordan became my favorite character! What I liked about this story the most was the way we got to explore what it means to be a human. We explore topics of pain, eternity, free will and many more. The one negative thing I will say is how the main character is a female head pastor. The Bible says women are not supposed to be Elders and Pastors, yet this character is "called" to be a pastor? Sorry, I had to take off a star for that. Maybe it was a type of reflection of the society of this futuristic world, I don't know. Other than that I found myself fully engaged in this futuristic/dystopian world! I was left with much to ponder and thank God that even though we experience pain and heartache, we have a Savior and a privilege to be able to spend eternity with Him. I received a comp...

Isaiah's daughter by Mesu Andrews

Though I was already familiar with Isaiah and Hezekiah, this work of fiction helped me see them as real people. Crazy how fiction can do that! This book had me discussing these biblical characters with my family, and now I want to dig into the biblical account again. Which is exactly what great biblical fiction should do! This story spans decades! Which is something that I don't find much in fiction! You journey with Isaiah, Ishma/Zibah and Hezi, you see their struggle and their triumphs! This author's writing style is different than what I normally read. I am used to becoming imersed in one or two characters for a short period of time. I didn't feel quite as drawn into the characters as I felt drawn into the journey of faith. Which isn't a negative, it's just a different way of story telling!  I loved the message of how our obedience to God is vital for our relationship to thrive and how He is to be our refuge no matter what. I really appreciated the way the author...
