Book Review: A Soldier Surrenders
A Soldier Surrenders by Susan Peek is an incredible story about Saint Camillus de Lellis, a great sinner of the 1500s who became a great saint. He is entirely human, very flawed, and thus easy to empathize with. His story is sure to inspire anyone who struggles with temptation and sin–and who among us doesn’t?!
Book Review: Stay With Me
Stay With Me by Carolyn Astfalk is a poignant and believable love story about two young adults from very different backgrounds.

Book Review: Erin’s Ring
Erin’s Ring by Laura H. Pearl is an unforgettably heartfelt and soul-stirring story of faith and love.

Book Review: Don’t You Forget About Me
Don’t You Forget About Me by Erin McCole Cupp is a rollicking fun and exciting cozy murder mystery. I found it genuine and fascinating in every way: the characters, the setting, the plot, and the twists. Mary Catherine Whelihan, a successful author in her thirties, has no desire to return to the town where, as
