Cative Heart

Rating (4/5)

When the first line in the book reads, “Outlaws- Please,God. Don’t let them choose me.” You know it’s going to be good. And this book didn’t disappoint me. It’s just one adventure after another for Emmalyne and Thayne and I enjoyed being on the journey with them.

If you’re looking for a fun summer read then make sure The List is on your list!

Crossfire

My Rating: 4/5

What do you get when you send a Navy Seal to rescue an undercover CIA agent, posing as a member of a terrorist organization?...Trouble! And of course a little undercover romance. Join the "Saint Squad" once again in a novel of espionage and suspense.

Alma

Rating: 5/5

Loved it! If you enjoy books like "Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites", and Orson Scott Cards, "Women of Genesis" series, you'll enjoy Alma.

Saving Madeline

Rating:4/5

Inspired by real life experiences, Saving Madeline is a story that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you with a lasting impression. This is a great read for book clubs and even provides thought provoking questions at the end of the story for group discussions.

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.
