Countdown

 

Lynette Eason's Countdown: Extreme Measures is an exciting book that features great dialogue, moving action which fans of Terri Blackstock would enjoy.  

Raina Price has been hiding for fourteen years. But when she comes in the cross hairs of a killer, she seeks the help from U.S. Marshall Vincent Covelli, who will do anything to keep her safe.   

 It is a captivating suspense, clean with elements of faith. The story is surprising and has a satisfying conclusion. 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Prayer

 

"We cannot run our spiritual operations on the prayers of the past generations. Many people believe in the efficacy of prayer, but not many people pray. Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things. It is the simplest and the most sublime, the weakest and the most powerful. Its results lie outside the range of human possibilities; they are limited only by the omnipotence of God." E. M. Bounds on Prayer

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray.
(Luke 18:1)

The 4th of July

 

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776

God Bless America.

The Lost Manuscript

 

The Lost Manuscript is a romantic historical treasure hunt.  A mystery with a missing person that leads to the discovery of a long lost manuscript. 

Ellora Lockwood and her estranged husband Alex join together to search for her grandmother, who mysteriously disappeared while searching for the manuscript. While on this journey, they decide whether their marriage was worth fighting for. With all the hurts and misunderstandings, there is an element of faith as Ellie finds that God has taken her grief and given her joy alongside with her grief. 

The secondary characters were good companions to the story. They added much to the filling out of the main characters. 

Although the story starts out slow, it picks up as their adventure takes them along the English countryside of Alnwick England. There is the element of hope and second chances. A good clean read.

Memorial Day

 

"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day.

I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. "

~Benjamin Harrison

In memory and honor of those who have fought and died to keep our country free.
