Book Review for “The Threshold of Eden”- Christian Fiction

516ik9gkPVL__SX320_BO1,204,203,200_

I was given a copy of “The Threshold of Eden” by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Wendy Isaac Bergin is a new author for me. Her writing style draws you into the story right away. This one is well written with characters you either love or hate. Flawed people finding friendship, forgiveness, and faith. I don’t agree with all of the Catholic doctrine, but this book is very heart toughing. Be prepared with some Kleenex. There is some mild swearing, no sexual content, and some violence. I can recommend for teens and up, though it is more geared for adults. I give it five stars, I loved it. Will be reading more of this author.

Book Review for “Radiance: Book Four White Road Chronicles” – Christian Fantasy

51M88TNTZrL__SX336_BO1,204,203,200_

Ok, so I know I said book three was my favorite, but… this one is even better. The only bone I have to pick is that it isn’t the last book! The next one is supposed to come out sometime early 2016. Wonderful allegory that retells the story of God’s love and forgiveness through his son. Though the words “God” and “Jesus” aren’t used. Good writing, great fantasy with all the quirky characters including some beasts and creatures, and well rounded characters. No sexual content or swearing. There is romance and there is violence. Epic story of good versus evil. I give it five stars, loved it, and can recommend for ages teens and up (and any fantasy love, you do not have to be a Christian to enjoy this book!) While I am waiting for book five, I see the author has written a few “stories” about the White Road, so….

Book three in the “White Road Chronicles”, “Emanate” is my favorite so far. I loved it. Great Christian fantasy, an allegory actually. Good storyline, characters are well rounded, several types of creatures and “beasts” are found in this story of the battle between good and evil and how even the seemingly most messed up person can make a difference. I give it five stars. No swearing or sexual content. The main character is a teenager, but most others are adults.

I can recommend for teens and up. Though it has a Christian message and a story that follows the spirit of Christianity, it never mentions the familiar terms we use for God or Jesus. I think non-Christian fantasy readers would also love the book, just not see the true story.

I can recommend for teens and up. Christian fantasy at it’s best. I give it five stars.

I downloaded this book ages ago when it was offered for free and just never got around to reading it. Man-o-man, it’s a good one. I’ll need to get the rest of the series. Christian fantasy/allegory at it’s best. This is the second series that I found this year by great Christian authors! Characters are fleshed out and flawed, just the way I like them, the story is fast paced and has a great message. I give it five stars, absolutely loved it.

Book Review for “Christmas Traditions” Boxed Set/Christian Romance

51DKkOtiK6L_-55_SX278_SY278_PIkin4,BottomRight,1,22_OU01_AA300_

Christmas Traditions is a boxed set of Christian romance novella’s. Each one is a stand alone book, or the first book in separate series, and by different authors. All were good, some I loved! As a whole I give the set four stars. I really enjoyed them. Great read for the holidays. I can recommend for teens and up, though written for adults. Where I could, I wrote individual reviews for each book.

Book Review for “Unintended Target”- Christian Mystery/romance

51L48Iy28BL_-55_SX278_SY278_PIkin4,BottomRight,1,22_OU01_AA300_

 

“Unintended Target” by D.L. Wood was a great read. Christian romance, with a twist. There is mystery, action, and romance. I really enjoyed it and will be reading more from this author. The characters are fleshed out, the story is well written. I can recommend for ages 16 and up, though written for adults. The Christian message isn’t “in your face” but is simply a part of who the characters are. A good read! I give it four stars.
