Hi, SOUTH PACIFIC was wonderful and we both loved it.  We went to see it on our first date.  That was a wonderful love story.   Favorite song:  "Some Enchanted Evening You Will Meet a Stranger." Our own love story was…

Wow!  How do I choose between all of my favorites.  I would say that I have a favorite 2 book series by Lila Peiffer "The Secrets of the Roses" and "Rosehaven".  They are so poignant, but the way the story is…

I loved Words too. I have to say if were to switch over to writing fiction instead of (or maybe in addition to) nonfiction, these represent well what I'd enjoy writing. I've actually been playing with the idea for a couple years, even…

Favorite love story, hands down, is Pride and Prejudice. And one of my favorite onscreen love stories is North and South, based on the Elizabeth Gaskell book. The very last scene, where the hero and heroine kiss, is the best onscreen kiss ever!!! I…

My favorite love story would be more of a male bonding movie wrapped up in a shark movie and that would be Jaws. The way Chief Brody, Quinn and Hopper bond while hunting for the shark never ceases to be fun for me. I know Jaws isn't normally…

My favorite love story is my own - coming up on 43 years! In print, I was really taken with Redeeming Love and there are lots of movies I watch over and over again because they don't go out of style and make me cry every time.

The novel that speaks to me the clearest as a love story would have to be Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. That it is based on the biblical story of Hosea is probably a big part of it.

My favorite love stories are the ones that are fairytale, like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, etc.  I love the happily ever after ones.  I'm blessed with a happily ever after love of my own : )

It is hard to pick a favorite because I've read so many.  There's an old (1940's) book called "I'll Never Forget You," I think by Renee Shannon, that is a fabulous, tear-jerking wartime love story.  I also…

One of my favorite movies is "In the Good Old Summertime" with Judy Garland, Van Johnson, S.Z. 'Cuddles' Sakall, and Spring Byington. It is a musical version of "The Shop Around the Corner."

B & H GIVEAWAY FOR JANUARY - RACE AGAINST TIME

 

Book Description:
Anesia Naltsiine has made mistakes that have cost her-and her 13-year old daughter, Zoya-dearly. But no more. She will prove her worth as a mother and as a breeder of champion sprint racing dogs. Her kennel is so successful that buyers come from all over the world. So why does she still feel so worthless?

Zoya misses the dad she never knew. All she wants is to follow in his footsteps as a champion sprint dog racer. But when she witnesses a murder in their town of North Pole, Alaska, she finds herself thrown into dangers and emotions she can’t begin to understand.

Enter Sean Connelly, a new employee at the kennel with demons of his own. When he discovers macrochips bearing military secrets implanted in the Naltsiine's dogs, a puzzle tracing back to the murder unfolds. Then strange "accidents" start happening; clearly someone wants Zoya silenced. Anesia tells her daughter it's not safe to race, but Zoya, angry with the world- and God-takes off across dangerous Alaskan terrain alone. Anesia and Sean must race against time to save the girl-and themselves.

FEATURED BETHANY HOUSE AUTHOR - JULIE KLASSEN

BETHANY HOUSE GIVING AWAY 10 COPIES

Here is the Link to OUR NEW DRAWINGhttp://www.bookfun.org/group/bethanyhousepublishers/forum/topics/the-maid-of-fairbourne-hall-by-julie-klassen 


BOOK DESCRIPTION:Pampered Margaret Macy flees London in disguise to escape pressure to marry a dishonorable man. With no money and nowhere else to go, she takes a position as a housemaid in the home of Nathaniel Upchurch, a suitor she once rejected in hopes of winning his dashing brother. Praying no one will recognize her, Margaret fumbles through the first real work of her life. If she can last until her next birthday, she will gain an inheritance from a spinster aunt--and sweet independence. But can she remain hidden as a servant even when prying eyes visit Fairbourne Hall? 

 

Observing both brothers as an "invisible" servant, Margaret learns she may have misjudged Nathaniel. Is it too late to rekindle his admiration? And when one of the family is nearly killed, Margaret alone discovers who was responsible. Should she come forward, even at the risk of her reputation and perhaps her life? And can she avoid an obvious trap meant to force her from hiding? 

 

On her journey from wellborn lady to servant to uncertain future, Margaret must learn to look past appearances and find the true meaning of "serve one another in love."

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Perfect. Almighty. The One Who Sees. Jealous. Forgiver.

Every name of God revealed in the Bible shows us something about his character and his ways. As the facets of a diamond combine to reflect its brilliance, the names and attributes of God combine to reveal the transcendence of his nature and the glory of his ways. One Year Alone with God offers readers a wonderful opportunity to spend time each day getting to know God more intimately. At the end of a year, they'll be able to say they know him better than they did a year ago.

This insightful guide to the names of God provides 366 life-changing, personal devotions for new Christians and longtime believers. As readers explore 122 names and attributes of God, they will discover something special about who God is, who they are, and how they relate to others. Includes a Scripture and name index for easy navigation to favorite verses.
