Book Reviews

Welcome to An Author’s Take where I share my thoughts on books written by other inspiring Christian authors. Like all of you, I love to read! Isn’t reading such a fantastic escape? I enjoy getting drawn into a good story and feeling the emotions as it unfolds. My favorite books are those that seem to end too soon. I love wondering what could happen next.

With this book review service, it is my goal to introduce you to new authors and some books you haven’t read yet. I promise to provide only honest reviews with just enough detail to pique your interest. I will let you know where to find the books and share if they are on tour.

All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the story!

Blessings,
Jeannine

Trail to Love

A Journey of Faith and Healing This is my first time reading a book by Susan F. Craft, and I absolutely loved Trail to Love.

Trail to Love follows Anne Forbes, a woman grieving the loss of her fiancé who seems to have

This historical Christian fiction novel is book four in a series of six, each centered around real disasters that not only altered landscapes but also deeply affected the lives of the people who lived through them.

Have You Heard from God Lately?

Uplifting and Insightful Keon Lindsey's Have You Heard from God Lately? feels like a thoughtful and personal conversation about some of life’s biggest spiritual questions.

Each message builds on the last, making it easy to follow and absorb, even if

November Knight

Thrilling Twists and Heartfelt Romance November Knight is the first book I’ve read by Debbi Migit, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it! From start to finish, it’s packed with suspense, danger, and plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. The story follows Jess Thomas as she dives into a tense situation after her friend Sierra Gallagher is kidnapped. Determined to find her, Jess uncovers far more than she bargained for, leading her into a dangerous
