What the Scriptures Teach Us About Raising a Child

Rating: 5/5

I loved how Wilcox used scriptural parents like Lehi and Alma as examples of how to raise our children. Instead of just quoting a scripture verse and saying "this is what the scriptures tell us we should be doing," he chose actual parenting techniques from the scriptures and pointed out how these righteous parents handled certain situations.

Exploring the Connection Between Mormons and Masons

Rating:4.5/5

Even if you have no previous knowledge about Masons you can still read this book and understand it. Brown did extensive research on the subject and presents the information in a straightforward and factual way.

Methods of Madness

My Rating: 4.5/5

What a thriller! There are tons of plot-twisting and suspense to keep you guessing on the edge of your seat until the very end. And once the killer is finally revealed, I had to go back and re-read this book a second time to find clues or odd discoveries I missed the first time around.

If you like books that get your heart pumping then you'll love Methods of Madness. The romance is very low-key as well, putting more of the focus on the murder-mystery.

Illuminations of the Heart

My Rating: 4.5/5

If you enjoy a good romance then you have to read Illuminations of the Heart. It will be one of those books you can hardly put down. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will probably read it again.

Counting Stars

My Rating:4/5

Counting Stars is a really fun read. The story is original and will give you a nice break from the mundane romance novels that are out there. You might even laugh out loud a couple of times, I know I did. It's so nice to be able to pick up a book and be surprised every once in a while. Age group focus: 18+

Shadow Hunter

My Rating:

Shadow Hunter is the perfect book for men who like to read fiction. It has suspense, a military setting, and no mushy "roll the eyes romance". Now, even though I just said that it's the perfect novel for men, I read it and still enjoyed it, even without the romance. The focus of the story is solely on catching this particular terrorist. What’s so cool is that you get to see the story unfold from both the government's side and the terrorist’s side. It was very interesting and if you have a military background I think you'd really enjoy it.
