be WILD for Christ.

Women In Lifelong Development, or "WILD" women, is the author Debbie Alsdorf's theme for "Different Kind of Wild: Is Your Faith Too Tame?" Throughout the book Alsdorf walks the reader through many phases of spiritual development and demonstrates opportunities for being WILD in faith.

It is a fabulous read that inspires and encourages us to grow in our relationship with God, not only because it is something we are supposed to do as Christians, but how else will we discover what He has in store for our lives? God has a plan and a purpose for each and every one of us, and Alsdorf does an excellent job discussing religion in a non-threatening way. Being a Christian is stereotyped as boring and filled with rules, when really it's adventurous and WILD! "Different Kind of Wild" is for those of you who are just starting out as Christians, yet also for those of you who have grown up in Christian households.

"Deeper" which is also by Alsdorf is equally inspirational, check that one out as well!

unrequited love.

Who doesn't love a book filled with weird characters? Ones that are outrageous, yet steady enough to relate to. I do, I do!

The beginning of "Menu for Romance" by Kaye Dacus, is set at the Vul de Ciel in Bonneterre, Louisiana, where our main chicky, Meredith Guidry is rather distraught by the fact that her thirty-fourth New Year's has arrived and she still has never been kissed. (You would be too). She's in love with a co-worker, (NEVER a good idea, but who can help it?) and he hasn't showed any return in affection in the past eight years, so she's feeling a bit hopeless. Our heroine vows that this year is going to be different! And it will, I promise you that.

It's a darling story of an unrequited love that may not be so unrequited after all!

Gunn, you got it going on.

As a girl, 14-15ish, I adored the Christy Miller Series by author Robin Jones Gunn. Then I went on to loving the Christy and Todd the college years. Yay for Gunn to come out with another amazing series, aka Katie Weldon Series. This chick has a knack for captivating readers and getting them excited for each fabulous upcoming book. "Coming Attractions" was no exception.

I honestly feel that I should not get into the specifics, I don't want to ruin it for anyone. Let just say this: took me one day to read, LOVED it. Surprised by the ending, LOVED it. I'd say it's the best of the series, hands down. Did I mention I LOVED it?
