Have You Read - Never Close Your Heart by Monica F. Anderson?

 

 

All Faith Henry wanted was peace. She gave up almost everything to have it. She resigned from her position as mayor, filed for divorce, and sold her dream home, vowing no job or man would ever control her again. Ten years later, her self-made perfect life is changing directions without her consent. Her popular podcast is bringing unwanted attention from a superfan. Her millennial daughter, Sloane, has returned to the nest with an electronic ankle monitor, a gender-fluid child, a meek husband, and a bad attitude. And, worst of all, her almost perfect manfriend is fed up. Since she won’t marry him, he’s moving on. They’ve become good friends who never cross the line. She hates that line more than anything. 

 

Out of ideas, Faith drags her daughter to group counseling with the seasoned Saints at their church. Can their collective wisdom help this mother and daughter tear down the walls and open their hearts before it’s too late?

 

 

EXCERPT:

 

NEVER CLOSE YOUR HEART

 

“So why are you here, Gina?” Sloane demanded. “You know I never wanted you here. None of us did.”

 

“I’m here because, despite your suspicions and our history, you’ve been kind like real Christians should be. And,” she turned to May Bell seated behind her, “I believe you were right about things happening for a reason. I needed these lessons more than Sloane. I don’t think someone could have befriended me if they wanted to, because I had put up so many walls.”

 

“Being vulnerable is necessary for being loved,” May Bell explained.

 

“Thank you, Gina.”

 

Faith removed the legal pad from her lap and put it in her purse.

 

“Unbelievable,” she muttered. She was preparing to leave.

 

May Bell said, “And that right there is your problem, my friend. Unforgiveness.”

 

In thirty years, Faith had not been angry with May Bell -- until she said that.

 

“Excuse me.”

 

“Did I stutter?” May Bell said. “Do you really think this counseling is only about Sloane? This is family counseling. Preston didn’t make your daughter like this by himself. You had a hand in it, too.”

 

Faith was fuming. Is she calling me on the carpet in front of er’body in behind this Gina woman? Oh, I am so leaving this church. I should’ve left after the divorce.

 

“Faith, all of you, listen to me. When two become one, they multiply.

 

Everything that occurs after that, addition, subtraction, or division goes back to the source.” She walked over to Faith. “Yes ma’am, I am calling you out, because you are a big girl and I know you can handle pressure. What I don’t know is whether you realize you haven’t forgiven Gina for what Preston did. You’ve heard Rev. Leroy preach about F-F-M numerous times. What does that stand for?”

 

As much as she longed to, Faith couldn’t ignore May Bell. “Forgive, forget, move on.”

 

“What we usually do is move on without forgiving, and most certainly without forgetting. I would not be doing my duty as your friend or First Lady if I ignored the bad example you are setting for Sloane.”

 

Faith looked around, expecting judgment from the Counsel. What she saw were looks of recognition and understanding. Even Sloane seemed to be listening empathetically. This heifer done made me part of the lesson, it dawned on Faith. Oh my, she’s good and she’s right. I’ve been carrying this resentment against Gina for a decade. I forgave Preston, but not the other woman.

On The Shelf Now - The MTM Series by Adrienna D. Turner

Throughout this series of apocalyptic novels, there will be references to things you know to be true, and extrapolations to things that are likely to occur. 

 

In the first book of the Miss the Mark Series (Tormented Dreams) places, in a fictional setting, things that do occur in the lives of people who follow Christ, along with miracles and gifts from God. We are never perfect, but we know the One who guides our lives.

 

In the second book of the Miss the Mark Series (Outcry, Shalom!), Satan secretly comes to Earth shrouded in a diabolical force known as the Antichrist. Hailed as the Messiah by many, he sets up a task force before his arrival. Many will cry out for peace once some of the task force has unleashed their power. How will Roya Whitmore and her family handle the challenges as the epic battle for dominion between Satan and God begins to heat up?

 

Then, in book three of the Miss the Mark Series (Marked Souls), the Antichrist stamps his mark (microchip) in each individual with the use of biometric, technological, and biological—a tracking device to keep tabs on the human race as the New Ruler, making his global review, with the help of Les Blanche and Hadrianus including the Task Force Ops.

Book Of The Day - The Eagle and the Flame By Karen Kay

 

The Eagle and the Flame

A vision foretold his tribe’s doom. Is the flame-haired beauty the trickster or his true love?

Lucinda Glenforest’s father, a general who’d fought in the Indian Wars, taught his flame-haired daughter to out-shoot even the best men the military could put up against her. When Luci’s sister is seduced and abandoned, it’s up to Luci to defend her honor in a duel. Although she wins, the humiliated captain and his powerful family vow vengeance. The sisters’ only hope is to flee and hide until their father returns from his overseas mission. Out of money, Luci hatches a plan to disguise herself as a boy and use her sharpshooting skills in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

The chief of the Assiniboine tribe has a terrifying vision, that someone called the deceiver, or trickster, spells doom for the children of his tribe. He enlists Charles Wind Eagle to join Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, in hopes of appealing to the President of the United States for help, and to find and stop the deceiver. When Wind Eagle is paired with a girl whom he knows is disguised as a boy, he believes she might be the deceiver. Still, she stirs his heart in ways he must resist, for he has a secret that can never be told, nor ignored. And Luci can never forget that her father would destroy Wind Eagle if she were to fall in love with him.

Forced to work together, they can’t deny their growing attraction. Will Luci and Wind Eagle find a way through the lies to find true love? Or will they be consumed by the passion of deception and slander?

Warning: A sensuous romance that might cause a girl to join the rodeo in order to find true love.

Book Of The Day -The Iron Wolf's Bride By Karen Kay

 

 

Iron Wolf's Bride

I will return to you, my love…

Jane Glenforest's father believed she was too young to marry, so he’d stolen her and her newborn son away from the handsome Assiniboine Indian she’d wed and taken her to Surrey, England. In spite of divorce papers and rumors he’s wed another, Jane’s never forgotten the man who’d stolen her heart and given her son legitimacy. When Buffalo Bill's Wild West show comes to England—bringing her ex-husband with it—Jane’s curious to see her lost love, in spite of her new fiancé. 

Although Iron Wolf's purpose in working for Bill Cody's Wild West show is to fulfill his father's vision to find and stop a deceiver, he fell in love with and married Jane Glenforest. But, no sooner had Jane given birth than her father stole her away. Now, a few years later, Iron Wolf is arriving in England with the hope of rekindling the love he once shared with Jane. However, instead of love, he finds his wife loathes him, believing he has married another. And, when he discovers she is engaged to another man, he declares war on both her and the fiancé. 

But when their son is kidnapped, Jane and Iron Wolf must work together to rescue him. And, as danger escalates, they discover trusting each other might be the only way to save their son. Will Jane and Iron Wolf learn to forgive one another, to reignite the embers of a passion that never died, or will the lies of a deceiver destroy their love forever?

Warning: Rediscovered love might cause sleepless nights spent in the arms of one's true love.

Book Of The Day - Never Close Your Heart (When A Sistah's Fed Up Series Book 2) by Monica F. Anderson

Unless it's under reconstruction...never close your heart.

Essence best-selling author Monica F. Anderson aka Dr. mOe Anderson delivers a delightful, stand-alone sequel to her acclaimed novel “When a Sistah’s Fed Up” in this humorous and heartfelt story about love, family, and the power of forgiveness… 

Ambitious and beautiful, Faith Henry is a savvy woman. By all measures—her career, friendships, and financial accounts—she is certifiably successful. Right? 

Not so fast. She’s hopelessly entangled in the ties that bind: Her millennial daughter, Sloane, has returned to the nest with an electronic ankle monitor, gender-fluid child, meek husband, and very bad attitude. Her son, Trey, is in a relationship with an older woman who has questionable motives. Friends are tsk tsking Faith’s choice to replace her decades-long significant other with a series of online mismatches—and that longtime manfriend is wasting no time moving on.

Things are so bad, even her ex-husband is a friend. And she’s tempted to grant him benefits.

How did this happen? Ten years ago, vowing to control her own destiny, she left her marriage and career in politics. She strategically crafted and executed a fail-proof plan to build a new life. Her life. On her terms. 

Those goals are almost within her grasp. As the talent behind the popular Never Close Your Heart podcast, Faith’s insightful advice is increasingly going viral. She’s attracting the potentially lucrative attention of a media conglomerate—complicated by the not-so-welcome overtures of a menacing superfan.  

As her followers can attest, Faith’s superlative advice about relationships is unequaled. Amid the swirl of drama, controversy, and danger that threatens her and her family, will she heed her own words?
