Review of The Glory of Light by Hannah Hood Lucero

-

The Glory of Light by Hannah Hood Lucero is Christian Romantic Military Suspense that had me on the edge of my seat from page one. Be warned, it is intense and features some violence, but the darkness makes the faith shine bright. 


Most of the story is set in New Orleans, the perfect place to feature a battle between dark and light. Iris is in the military and asked to serve her country by returning to her hometown of NOLA—the place that hardened her as a child. While there she meets Barrett, a student at Tulane whose twin brother’s death changed the way he looked at life.


Meanwhile the past tangles with the present, foes masquerade as friends, and lies and truth are indiscernible. Danger lurks everywhere, leaving Iris and Barrett to make hard choices. 


This book is filled with action, twists, turns, and romance, but it’s the faith message that rises above it all pointing to Jesus. This amazing story is worth your time!

Synopsis:

He’s had everything handed to him. She built her life from nothing.

From growing up on the treacherous streets of New Orleans to being captured by terrorists in Syria, there’s not much Iris Sullivan hasn’t faced in her twenty-six years. When a mysterious operative asks for her help countering a growing threat on the home front, Iris heads to unfamiliar circles in the all-too-familiar city that shattered her carefree childhood and built her unconquerable spirit.

Barrett Jones was the life of the party until news of his twin brother’s death upended his picture-perfect life. Junior year at Tulane and an intriguing new classmate offer a distraction from his grief until Barrett discovers his own connection to the scandals and secrets surrounding Jonny’s death. Can he unravel the web of lies that destroyed his brother before it ensnares the woman he loves as well?

Will the darkness of the past destroy Iris and Barrett’s future, or will they breach their differences and fight together for the light of truth that can set them free?

Review of The Designated Valentine by Drew Taylor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In The Designated Valentine Drew Taylor weaves past and present together to gradually reveal how Karoline and Mason went from long time best friends to enemies to love. This is a sweet, clean romantic comedy that doesn’t overdo the comedy and only contains kissing, though it does discuss the battle with attraction the main characters have and how they want to be careful because of their faith. Drew includes a warning at the beginning of the book that there is also some mention of alcohol as this book deals with a past addiction. Drinking is not promoted. Both Karoline and Mason think they’ve matured since they last spoke three years before, but they still have room to grow and as a reader I enjoyed my front row seat to see that growth. It’s a great representation of the battles we often face in relationships of all kinds — some from our misperceptions of who we are because of things people in our lives have said or done, and some because we struggle to forgive thinking the o

Bringing Christ to Christmas Gift Giving

What better way to put Christ back into Christmas than to give Christ centered gifts! When our first child had his first Christmas we decided to give only 3 gifts as a reminder that Jesus received 3 gifts from the wisemen. Each gift had a category: want, need, and spiritual. As the children have gotten older and are adults, the want and need often overlap.  There have been so many benefits from this. Limiting the gifts has been great at keeping the focus more on Christ. Rather than spending this season figuring out what they want, our children's focus has been freed up for other things. They are actually often at a loss, because gifts for themselves are not their top priority. It has been a benefit for us as parents, not just financially, because we don't have to stress out about getting them the perfect gift.  Another special benefit is getting to search for something to help them in their spiritual walk. Through the years the availability of Christ centered things has grown a

FOS 1- Fruit of the Spirit Bible Study - Intro

My granddaughter recently had her first birthday. The day after her party, my daughter gave her the Bitty Baby doll that my mother-in-law had given my daughter for her first birthday. It was a huge hit! A mixture of joy and seriousness came over my granddaughter as she simultaneously loved on her "new" baby and tried to figure out how to take care of her. My husband and I had given her a doll stroller for Bitty Baby and she put her baby in it and started strolling her around the house like it was her job. She checked in every few minutes with her baby, and, even though it was nap time, she pushed her around for forty-five minutes. I think she would have kept going if we hadn't told her it was nap time. What a blessing to behold the delight and joy of a child! In my recent newsletter, I spoke about  love . Above I mentioned  joy . Those happen to be the first two characteristics listed as the fruit of the Spirit.  Galatians 5:22-23 ESV But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
