The Hand that Bears the Sword (book 2 of a series) - George Bryan Polivka
Home to Holly Springs - Jan Karon
Sunrise - Karen Kingsbury

The Memory Keepers Daughter - Kim Edwards
Jacob's List - Stephanie Grace Whitson
Don't Waste Your Life - John Piper

Someday -Karen Kingsbury
Ever Present Danger -Kathy Herman
Uncharted -  Angela Hunt
Playing for Pizza - John Grisham
The Kite Runner -  Khaled Hosseini                                                                                                                     Never Look Back - Kathy Hermann
Grave Risk - Hannah Alexander
The Appeal - John Grisham
The Long Awaited Child- Tracie Peterson

Anxiety Attacked- John MacArthur- a very convicting book; the thing that stood out to me most and helped me in my daily life was the reminder to replace anxiety with prayer and Thanksgiving.

The Five Love Languages of Children- Gary Chapman- Even though I've read the original book about love languages, it was good to be able to relate it to my kids.  He especially emphasized the need to use your child's love language in discipline and the links between anger and the love languages.

Crimson Eve- Brandilyn Collins- a great Christian fiction thriller!

Mark's Story- Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins- Okay, I didn't like this one much.  I NEVER quit a book in the middle, but I'll confess I "skimmed" the end.  In my opinion, I thought the real Scriptural stuff was blended to closely to the made up stuff. (The book was about Mark- the author of the Gospel.)  Sorry to anyone who read it and really liked it.

Bad Ground- Dale Cramer- I haven't read his other book, but I will certainly look it up.  This was a great Christian fiction read with great descriptions and character development!

The Lost Sheep- Brandt Dodson- This was okay.  I don't prefer books written in third person, but I have read the whole series of his, and they are good Christian mystery/suspense books.
