When God Says No by Elizabeth Laing Thompson

When  God  Says  No  by Elizabeth Laing  Thompson  is  an outstanding book.  Elizabeth is married to a pastor. She is a writer, speaker and a minister.   She  wrote this book to  address the many times people  get a no  from God.  These times can be so disappointing and  filled with questions  like  why  did this  happen and where are you  God?   God  never leaves us in these times and  really does walk through these times.  She is candid and  honest about the nos she has received from  God.  She shares about  people in the Bible that have heard God's  no and how they have coped.  She helps the reader look beyond and know God is more and God is there and  God is still God.  The  book is so real and personal.  God is  there for us  in these times.  We  can grow through these times.  He is  a caring  God even when we do not feel it.  She has  journal  prompts at the end of the chapters.   This book is a great resource for  pastors,  counselors,  an  any  Christian.  Thank you to the

Can't Buy Me Love by Susan May Warren and Andrea Christiansen

 Can't  Buy  Me Love is the second book in the Deep Haven Collection.    This book  moves from action  to action with lots of  romance .  Susan  May  Warren  and Andrea Christiansen write  this  wonderful   romance  in this  fictional town Deep Haven  close to the North Shores of Minnesota.   It is light  and  draws the reader in quickly.   The  ups and  downs  of the romance  of Ella and Adrian  will keep the reader  going.  The   themes of the story are  rich vs poor,  forgiveness,  hope, trust.   Deep Haven is a  homey  town and pleasant.   Adrian  has hopes for the town.  He is a businessman.  How will the  future proceed for these two. ?   I like the way  scripture is woven into this book in such a pleasant way.   Thank you to the publisher and author for allowing me to read and review this book.   I know this  book  will  have readers wanting more.
