Publisher's Summary:

A wave of suicidal behavior has gripped the nation with no concern for race, gender, or age. Many think it's just a trend, but inspirational singer Candace Tremont knows better. Since witnessing the suicide of her husband five years prior, she's committed her life to fighting the spirit of depression. Unfortunately, suicidal thoughts and dreams also plague her mind, making the war more personal than anyone around her realizes.

Unfulfilled with periodic and low-paying gigs, Candace yearns for an opportunity to touch more lives. Her prayers are answered - or so it seems - when she is offered a temporary job at Ontario Correctional Facility, performing for suicidal female inmates. A surge of self-harming behaviors has put the facility at risk for shutdown, and Candace's music might be the staff's final hope of keeping their jobs. In addition to a substantial fee, Candace is given the assistance of the handsome Julius Barnes, one of the prison's psychologists, who believes her music can help reduce the lethal behaviors of the incarcerated population. However, Apollius, a fallen angel committed to destruction, has other ideas for the inmates, and won't give up his control over these women so easily. A supernatural battle of epic proportions has ignited in Upstate New York, and the consequences could be fatal. Are Candace's songs of faith powerful enough to save the lives of the inmates and keep the facility from closing down indefinitely? Or will her interference with Apollius's plan make her the next target?

But with the help of a mysterious friend, Sarah just might be able to piece back together the life, and the love, she and her husband once shared.

Members Reviews:

Important story

This is not a your run of the mill novel. It's an important story to educate, advocate, and comfort not only those who are affected by pornography addiction, but everyone. I didn't love the narrators.

Tough Subject

Porno addiction is a tough subject to tackle, and Stacy Lynn Carroll does it here with sensitivity and tact while remaining honest. The book traces the problems it's caused in one marriage as they struggle to overcome it and keep their family together. I can't say much without giving the story away other than to say anyone who's ever been in a relationship where any kind of addiction has come in to play will understand this deeply, and anyone who hasn't struggled with, or loves someone who's struggled with, addiction will have a new love and understanding for the former.

The low stars on the performance are because the main narrator sometimes sounds too chipper or happy for such a heavy subject, and her voices for the children grate on the nerves and make what would read as charming characters annoying. A man reads the male parts, which would be refreshing if he didn't sound robotic and very clearly reading from a script. His voice had no personality at all which made it a little harder to get on board with the husband.

Other than my nitpicks over the voices, I highly recommend this book.

Powerful Story!

WHAT IT'S ABOUT

Sarah Dunkins world shatters when she walks in on her husbands secret addiction. Thrown into the world of pornography, therapy, and support groups, Sarah must find a way to forgive before she drowns in betrayal and despair. The task before her seems impossible as she struggles to care for their five children on her own. Growing up without religion in her life, Sarah is forced to make difficult choices and finds herself being drawn to a higher power she never understood. But with the help of a mysterious friend, Sarah just might be able to piece back together the life, and the love, she and her husband once shared.

MY TAKE

This is such a powerful story. I found myself pulled right in with Sarah, right along with her feelings of betrayal and despair. I felt for her struggles doing the single parent thing but especially her fight to understand and forgive. It's not an easy place to be. Trust, once shattered, can be a hard thing to replace. The story becomes a religious one as Sarah finds God, but even if a reader isn't interested in the religious aspect, the uplifting story--in spite of the nature of the story--still has so much to recommend it.

I have a bipolar child who spent over a year in an adolescent treatment center. Many of the kids there struggled with all kinds of addiction, including pornography.

Title: Last Chance Mail Order Bride: Violet's Cowboy

Subtitle: Westward Wanted, Book 4

Author: Crystal Anne Tilden

Narrator: Amy Gramour

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-04-16

Publisher: Lost Diary Press

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

It was not Violet Gladstone's idea to become a mail order bride. She felt it was foolhardy for a woman to leave everything behind to marry a man she had never met. However, when her greedy boyfriend, Ned, jilted her for a rich woman, her friend convinced her to answer an ad. Soon, she was exchanging letters with a nice widower who wanted to wed her. For months, they wrote to each other. All his letters were charming, except the last one. It contained an ultimatum: marry him now or never. He could wait no longer. She wrote back that she would come right away, but she did not. Instead, when the time came, she turned in her ticket to Texas and posted an apologetic letter to the widower breaking off their engagement.

When Ned heard Violet stayed, he accused her of holding a torch for him and offered to make her his mistress. Violet scoffed at his lewd offer and his vile conceit. In a flash, he was in her face, pointing out that a strong-willed 27-year-old servant was too old, too poor, and too disagreeable to find a husband in man-starved postwar Georgia. He predicted she would live out her life, a spinster dwelling in the servants' quarters while she pined away for what might have been. That was all it took for her to pen another letter asking the widower to forgive her fickleness, and informing him she was on her way.

There was no way Ned was going to ruin her dreams. She left on the very next stagecoach bound for Texas. Her fury kept her doubts and fears at bay for some time, but when the road got rough as they traveled farther and farther into the frontier, she regretted leaving Atlanta. When she really thought about it, being a spinster seemed like a pleasant carefree lifestyle and the servants' quarters a safe haven. Her rationalization was for naught; it was too late to turn back. Certain she had left the frying pan for the fire, she stared out the window of the stagecoach as it rattled down the bumpy dirt road heading to her uncertain future.

When Life Has Other Plans

I agree with other reviewers this was sweet story and pretty straight forward. Violet went West as a mail order bride after her fiance Ned dumped her for a rich widow but still wanted her as his mistress. So Violet answers an ad for a mail order bride then changes her mind twice. Anyhow Josiah Kent the groom is devastated when she doesn't come so marries the rich widow who has been helping him & his 2 boys since his wife died 1 yr ago. There is no detail as what that relationship was so I couldn't really get into that; Josiah was a balding, red-haired postmaster in Waring Texas dominated by his 6 ft tall mother and a bossy brother & sister-in-law. While Annette was an extremely rich, beautiful widow of a judge. It would've made more since if she would've been a widow of the local mercantile storekeeper that l loved him so not sure I got that whole scenario. Of course the proof reading was a little disconcerting i.e balling for bawling; spurning his horse for spuring just mention a few. I would read Carrie's story but refuse to pay .99 for 62 page booklet but if you read Violet's story you pretty much have the rest of Carrie's story. This is a fast read, no sex but realistic sweet romance between Violet and Clint with Aunt Ginnie as chaperone.

Publisher's Summary:

However, not doing so, would have a greater effect on those he has unwittingly put in the cross-hairs of an ancient Runner.

Follow Jack on his extraordinary journey to bring an end to some unfinished business.

Members Reviews:

Epic Conclusion

The final book in the series (for now) closes off all the loose ends that normally bleed over from one of the series books to another. The author moves Jack Carter from the safety of the St. Louis area to England to crossover centuries old runner Bartholomew Westley. Westley was in St Louis in the previous book trying to get revenge on Jack for crossing over his friends Harbinger and Serpent, but through a fluke in the rules of combat was returned to his part of the world where he demanded Jack to meet him in another battle or he would begin to kill weaker chasers in the old country. Jack must prepare differently as Westley is stronger on his own soil and an epic battle will begin. Great book. Great series.

A very interesting book

I chose this rating because it stressed at all things are possible if you believe and trust in God. I wish we had chasers against evil like in this book

A REAL KEEPER!!!

All the "Chaser" books were very good, but this last one was far better than good. It was written with a nice sense of humor, was fast pace, exciting, thought provoking, and with a beautiful ending. The kind of book you can't put down & hate to see end.

his books are all great.

Dalglish is one of my favorites,his books are all great.

Interesting read

Not coming from a Christian background I found this book quite different from what I usually read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Members Reviews:

More like 3.5 stars

I prefer novels to poetry, but this book of poems had some poignant prose that made me stop and think about the meaning. Like the Psalms, there is a story within the lines. This book was divided into four parts, like "themes." I particularly enjoyed parts 2-4. My favorite poems were Offering, Matins, and Adjusting the Darkness. If you enjoy poetry that includes family, faith, and memories, you'll enjoy this collection of poems by Penny J. Johnson.

The writer should Read more

I was a little disappointed at how little knowledge the writer had about the Bible their was so many references that weren't true it made the book more trubaling to Read than entertaining. And had it not been for the the fact book was about Angeles I would have thought I was Reading a bad cookie cutter war novel however I appreciate the effort to write a clean book and I can see that the author was trying to express the hope we have in God and the great price he payed for all of us

Heart warming story

This book was rich with both heart warming and inspiring messages, tied into a moving adventure that made it a memorable story. I love how the story revolved around messages of faith, hope, learning from and overcoming trials, and developing a heart of a giant. The language of the story and descriptions were beautiful.

I couldn't finish it

This seemed like it would be a good book, however I couldn't finish it. The characters are flat and stereotypical. Their actions are unbelievable and the pacing is slow. I got fed up and returned the book after chapter 6.

Title: The Divine Spark

Subtitle: An Allegory of Awakening

Author: Paula D'Arcy

Narrator: Paula D'Arcy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-21-16

Publisher: Franciscan Media

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Religious & Inspirational

Publisher's Summary:

In this deceptively simple allegorical tale, author and sought-after retreat speaker Paula D'Arcy recounts her own spiritual journey in a way that will echo in your heart long after you finish the book.

In the town of Status, across the river from Quo, nothing ever changes. Children are taught to memorize facts but not to think for themselves. Adults live by the motto "work, produce, stay the same." And as long as everyone follows the rules, there is harmony in the two communities. The shops hum, and all ceremonies for the worship of God are appropriately formal and well organized. The past is revered, and the future seems to be secure.

Then the Stranger comes to town. Bringing tales of love and of the Great Being, the Stranger captivates the local children with his joy and delight in life. They dance, fly kites, and disrupt the established rhythm. But Status and Quo's town elders disapprove and soon force the Stranger to move on. And so the townspeople return to their comfortable, predictable lives - all except for Anastasia, a young girl who can't forget the lessons the Stranger taught. When she reaches her 17th year, she begins to feel restless and recognizes within herself a deep longing. A tragedy sets the wheels turning for Anastasia's quest to find the Stranger whose words once captured her heart.

The Divine Spark is a work of visionary fiction for anyone who has ever felt called to leave a place of comforting familiarity in search of the unknown.

One Star

Great book!

If I'd come across this book when my children were ...

If I'd come across this book when my children were small, I would have read them the first chapter when they were small, the next at age 13 and the last when they were finishing high school. Since they're both teens, we'll read a bit each evening during Lent this year instead. A profound & meaningful story. Thank you so much for Ms. D'Arcy for sharing it with the world.
