A NOTE FROM CINDY ~For all book lovers, on this blog spot I post information of a recently released book written by a Christian author I know. Unless stated otherwise, I haven’t read the book yet. I have two books to share with you this week.

Learning to Fly

by

Roxanne Henke

New mom, Susan Schaffer, looks down at her newborn daughter, Lily, and wonders if she has what it takes to be a great mom. Each stage seems to bring a new challenge and Susan is filled with doubt. A chance meeting with former classmate, JoJo Nash, also a new mom, gives the two mothers a friendship to help each other, and their daughters, learn and grow. As the girls approach high school graduation their mothers are faced with the question: Are the girls ready to `fly’ on their own? Learning to Fly is a novel about living, loving and letting go.

Andrea Sisco of  Armchair Interviews.com writes: “All the self-help books or parenting classes in the world will not score a direct hit like Henke’s message…a must read for all mothers and mothers-to-be. ”

Forty to Life

by Dave Jackson

“He came to pay a debt he didn’t owe

Because I owed a debt I couldn’t pay.”

Murderer. It’s a word few people ever expect to apply to them. But for fourteen-year- old Ray, it’s suddenly a reality. Provoked by a gang leader into the random shooting of an innocent guy, Ray now faces a forty-year sentence in Chicago’s infamous prison system. As far as Ray is concerned, it might as well be for life.

In prison, Ray finds his gangbanger ties difficult to escape and even necessary for survival. Just when he’s resigned himself to this new existence, though, Ray receives an unexpected gift–forgiveness. Even as he learns that the source of this forgiveness is God, Ray struggles with accepting it. And then the ultimate test comes: When faced with the man who ruined his life, can Ray extend the same forgiveness that has been handed to him?

Reviews

DOUBLE BLIND

A Hideaway Novel by Hannah Alexander

A deadly outbreak opens old wounds…

A virus is sweeping the Navajo reservation, and two of Sheila Metcalf’s childhood friends are dead. For Sheila, that’s a call to leave Hideaway, Missouri, and return to Arizona. Neither her father’s objections nor the arguments of Preston Black, the man who loves her, can stop Sheila from returning to the land of her youth. Her nursing skills are needed, and it’s past time she found out the truth about her mother’s long-ago death.

There’s a medical mystery to unravel, secrets about the past to uncover and questions about the future to explore. Along the way, Sheila will need courage and strength—and faith that God will protect her and lead her to where she belongs.
