I would tell you more, but it has been awhile since I read this book and besides, I would not want to ruin it for anyone. But it's worth a look for anyone who likes historical christian romance and Grace Livingston Hill.

This is a great book for pre-teen Cubbie fans! How can a person not like Mark Grace? Reading this book you will discover why it is so easy to like Mark Grace. Mark shows great sportsmanship, is a wonderful role model, and you will enjoy his sense of humor. Mark truly shows his love for baseball in this book. He is as much of America as baseball and apple pie!

I just couldn't put this book down until I was sure Ben wouldn't divorce Emily in one year. Getting married just because he's 35 or his father will step in and produce a bride for him is no reason to trick his secretary. She had really found love and he needed to realize the love she'd been hiding from him.

It was a good book but I would like to know what five things you thought Mary Arden faced and how she solved each one of them. Yours Always , Angie

Though not my absolute favorite of Al and Joanna Lacy's books, this one was a very nice read. The entire Mail Order Bride series is worth a look to anyone who likes historical Christian romance.
Anyway, the book is about a young woman, Diana, who lives in fear of an abusive father. She is willing to do almost anything to escape...even become a mail order bride. The man she secretly corresponds with is a selfish young man who places the ad because he is rebelling against his matchmaking parents. He gets his best friend,Knight, who is a writer at the local newspaper, to compose the ad. He later convinces Knight to answer his prospective bride's letters because he has a natural gift with words. Diana falls in love with the wonderful letters that she receives and eagerly journeys far from home to marry the man that has so touched her heart with his words. Knight has unwillingly fallen for Diana as well and dreads seeing her wed to his best friend. But when Diana arrives, her future husband is missing. As she joins the search for him, she is thrown into close proximity with Knight. As she falls for a man she can never have, she thinks that that is the worst possible thing that could ever happen, not knowing that her father has followed her and is determined to bring her home...no matter what.
The plot was interesting and I liked the hero and heroine a good deal, but the number one reason I have to suggest this book is that it features some of my writing. I was the winner of The Mail Order Bride writing contest and the ad and letters written by Diana and Knight that are featured in the book are all by me. I am recognized on the copyright page, or whatever it's called. So, give it a try and if you happen to like my letters look for anything written by me in the future. I'm a bestseller wannabe like most of us out there.

Delightful stories about teenagers and how they -- often when you need it most -- can be the inspiration you need to see things from another perspective. The stories are a nice reminder of the importance of faith, a wonderful way to start or end your day.

James Stephen Behrens is more than a Trappist Priest; he is quickly becoming a Trappist Proust.

His first collection, "Grace is Everywhere," looked at life in and around the Monastery of the Holy Spirit, in Conyers, Georgia. Now, in his newest collection, he reaches back to the world he knew outside the cloister wall, and the memories that he's collected and cherished.

Plumbing his earlier life, he finds large truths in small events. Recalling the death of his brother, or friendships forged long ago, he weaves word portraits that are vivid and vital, with insights that will open your eyes, and your heart.

This is a collection to read and re-read, written by a man with something to say, and a beautiful way of saying it. Read it yourself and find out why. You can thank me later :-) .

Love this author in all his psuedonyms. Can't wait for him to write more books!

Brenda does not like her name. So she is going to change it-to Barbie!
In this book, everyone wants to change names!
