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

When the Mountain Crumbled

Heartfelt Story Blending History, Romance, and Faith I’ve always enjoyed reading Angela Couch’s books—she’s such a fantastic writer, and When the Mountain Crumbled is no exception.

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!
