The Viscount in Hiding by Emma Evans

-
This book is a romance and takes place in the 1800 in London. The characters are well developed and draw the reader closely in with their conflicts. Lord Morton had taken some time away from London. At the beginning of the book He returns to London. He has the reputation of returning in and out of relationships with women. Juliette is a commoner and her brother is responsible for her since her parents have passed away. She runs away to where Lord Morton's estate is and eventually ends up being the housekeeper for Lord Morton. Lord Morton has no idea why Juliette is rather reserved and cautious around him until Juliette's brother Lord Perriman breaks into the estate and attempts to capture Juliette. The reader will have to wonder goes she get away? What happens to Juliette and what happens to Lord Morton? Will Juliette be safe from her abusive brother? The story shows life in the high class society of London. The reader may grow to like the character of Juliette who is placed in a vulnerable position with a mean brother and hopes for a better life. (less)

 Tell Me the Stories of Jesus  is  by Albert Mohler. Al Mohler  is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He  hosts   The Briefing and "Thinking in Public".  This  book is a Christian living book.  The parables  were written  with an illustration. Jesus wanted  the audience  to think about what  He  was   saying  and then  move  to  recollect   on the deeper meaning  within the parables.  He  wanted the audience   to think  about where their heart is and to apply  the parables  to their life.  If the meaning is given in a straight forward way  it can be easy  to not think about your life because  the meaning  is given  to the audience and they do not have to pause and think  where Jesus is coming from.  The parables are creative. . This book gives great background  for each of the parables. It is very personable.  This book is well written.  It  is a great book for any Christian and for  any pastor. Thank you for netgalley , the publisher and the author f
