Review of  The Rebel Heart  by  Beth White:

The   Rebel  Heart takes place  during the Reconstructive  Era right  after the Civil War.   The scene is  a Mississippi  plantation.   The plantation owners  end up being   three  girls since   their  Dad  was  thought to have died and  their Mother had  died.    The plantation is  hard to  run with the  expenses and  is at  risk of  being  lost to debt.   Selah  and her    sisters   work to restore  the  plantation into a hotel.   The reader  sees the  historical challenges  for the time period.   The plantation had   black workers  before the restoration and  they were invited back to work.   The workers were slaves before so it  was a risk to  hire   them.   There were many other challenges with the property including scandals.   Selah is a sharp business person and holds  her firm ground.  She  has the   help of Levi  Riggins  with the business  scandals  but in the midst of the troubles  she falls in love with  him and He with her.   It is a moving book.   She has a tender  cari.ng  heart in  the midst of  so many challenges. #The Rebel  Heart#  was given to me by  Netgalley for review purposes.

 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

Holding on When You Want to Let Go by Sheila Walsh

  #Holding on When You Want to Let Go# by Sheila Walsh is a Christian living book. Sheila is an author, Bible teacher and television host. She is the cohost of Life Today. She has written many practical books. She wants to make the Bible practical and personal. She shares her heart and life difficulties when she writes. I find her personal stories so real and so easy to connect with. Sheila shares about her very difficult times and how we can find that Jesus can help us and meet us where we are at in our times of need. She encourages us to hold on to Jesus and draw close to Him so He can draw near to us. She encourages us to pray and read our Bibles during times of difficulty. The book is well written and a huge help during times of difficulty. Sheila wrote a Bible study guide to go with #Holing On When You Want to Let Go#. The book would be good for a Women's Bible study. I commend Sheila for writing this book and sharing her heart to others who might need it. Thank you to the pub
