    Thanks for all the book recommendations! I'm reading Tosca Lee's Iscariot right now, it's really written well and brings Biblical times to life, which in my opinion has it's down side since things that happened then are very disturbing to me. I sat it down yesterday just for a breather, to pick up Can't Help Falling by Courtney Walsh that you had recommended. I ordered it the day I saw your recommendation, received it 2 days ago, decided I would take it on a road trip yesterday, couldn't put it down, finished it last night! Girl, l loved it! Enjoyed that sweet romcom so much! 5 stars! Love your channel and your enthusiasm! 📚❤

    I need to re-read the Mark of the Lion series. It's been so long, I've forgotten most of it. The Iscariot one looks interesting. I have read the one about Rahab - it was really good! I've read another one, about Job, that I really loved. I don't think you mentioned it - Love Amid the Ashes by Mesu Andrews. So good!

I enjoyed The Weeping Chamber by Sigmund Brouwer. 4 stars! Loved everything with Jesus and His disciples. I actually dnf'd In a Field of Grace and Sons of Encouragement. Didn't agree with the characterization. Felt very modern. But that's just me! I hope you enjoy all of them! This video inspired me to do my own Biblical fiction shelf spotlight!❤
