He wants us to know him so well that we are comfortable talking to him about anything and everything. Yet, there are times when we feel disconnected and insecure. We desire to grow in prayer, but we don't know where to begin, what to say, or how to listen for his voice.<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">In </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">She Prays</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">, Debbie Lindell invites you on a 31-day journey to experience a confident and conversational relationship with your heavenly Father. She shows you how to replace the pressure to perform in prayer with a faith-filled expectation--trusting that God is delighted with every conversation and every word we whisper to him. Her desire is that your soul will be transformed as your confidence in prayer grows, and that your faith will be strengthened as you see God work through your prayers in ways you never imagined possible.</span><p></p><p><span></span></p><a href="https://readerscozycorner.blogspot.com/2020/09/she-prays-31-day-journey-to-confident.html#more">Read more »</a>Reader's Cozy Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08495399992619304232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299021851297944021.post-11742847382915763442020-06-10T10:22:00.002-05:002020-06-12T09:21:31.143-05:00GenTech by Dr. Rick Chromey<table class="wsite-not-footer" id="blogTable" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #8e8e8e; font-family: raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; table-layout: fixed; width: 912px;"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><div class="blog-body" id="594890597445594333-blog" style="float: left; width: 629.2px;"><div id="wsite-content"><div class="blog-post" id="blog-post-635642561488152454" style="position: relative; zoom: 1;"><div class="blog-content" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span></span><span></span></div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><a href="https://readerscozycorner.blogspot.com/2020/06/gentech-by-dr-rick-chromey.html#more">Read more »</a>Reader's Cozy Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08495399992619304232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299021851297944021.post-17183798852939989342020-04-15T11:00:00.000-05:002020-04-15T11:00:02.584-05:00How Do You Kill 11 Million People by Andy Andrews--- Spotlight with JustRead Tours<div style="text-align: center;">

<strong>Become an informed, passionate citizen who demands honesty and integrity from our leaders or suffer the consequences of our own ignorance and apathy.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In this updated and expanded <em>New York Times</em> bestselling nonpartisan book, Andy Andrews urges you to believe that seeking and discerning the truth really, really matters and that believing lies is the most dangerous thing you can do. You’ll be challenged to become a more “careful student” of the past, seeking accurate, factual accounts of events and decisions that illuminate choices you face now.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
By considering how the Nazi German regime was able to carry out over eleven million institutional killings between 1933 and 1945, Andrews advocates for an informed population that demands honesty and integrity from its leaders and from each other. He includes several key documents written by our Founding Fathers as examples of America’s core principles that present and future leadership should live up to and embrace.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We can no longer measure a leader’s worth by the yardsticks provided by the left or the right. Instead, we must use an unchanging standard: the pure, unvarnished truth.<br />
<br />

It’s an exhilarating story, and there are even more treasures lying underneath the surface. Encounter the beautiful depth of Acts through enlightening verse-by-verse commentary from Charles Ryrie that’s both straightforward and insightful. You’ll gain:</div>

<strong>From the testimony viewed over 100 million times on the internet:</strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
“I am so sorry I have to deliver such awful news.” Shaking his head, the doctor muttered, “You are both so young.”<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A young woman in her twenties with a future and a plan for her life comes up against a tragic nightmare when her handsome and otherwise healthy husband is suddenly diagnosed with a rare inoperable cancer. As her husband’s beliefs grow stronger, Alyssa’s dreams evaporate, and her faith slips away when the worst happens.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Experience soul-searing pain and miraculous moments of joy in this poignant true-life account. Journey with Alyssa as she grapples with life and death, faith and unbelief, disappointment and hope in a search for answers that takes her beyond grief to peace and a surprising new love.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Along the way, you’ll find answers to the questions you may be asking in your own life:<br>
<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Where is God when it hurts?</li>
<li>Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?</li>
<li>Can God make something good come out of bad?</li>
<li>Does true love ever strike twice?</li>
</ul>
<em>Made for Brave</em> is a striking example of how God can create overwhelming good from even the worst of life when we choose to partner with Him.<br>

Sometimes we’re placed in the strangest of circumstances for the most important reasons.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After her carefully constructed life crumbles, Liz Carlisle finds h<br />
erself back on Nantucket, picking up the<br />
pieces. With the family estate under renovations, the solitude she craves seems out of reach.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Matthew Stone intends to steer clear of his new tenant. She’s carrying a load of baggage, but as long as<br />
she<br />
pays the rent, he’ll let her be. He’s got enough to deal with caring for his wayward niece, Mia.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Liz doesn’t have time for teenagers and her track record with men is abysmal, but an unlikely friendship<br />
forms between the three.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When her former boyfriend is charged with assault, Liz is called to testify against him. But he knows the<br />
darkest secrets of her life<br />
—<br />
secrets she’d hoped to keep buried forever, and he’s ready to reveal them.<br />
Telling the truth is the right thing to do, but<br />
it may cost her everything she’s worked so hard for, and all<br />
she’s come to love.<br />

<span style="color: #469990;">Here is what I thought......<br />
<br />
I love this author's books so much and this one did not disappoint. While this book is technically not classified as Christian fiction it is still a clean read with a powerful story that is sure to please. I don't know how the author does it but she had amazing story telling ability and I'd always able to evoke strong emotions in me when I read her books. I would highly recommend this book and any of her previous novels. I recieved this book from the author for free. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.<br />

Things start to look up, though, when she reconnects with Louisa, the girl from across the street. Maybe, just maybe, Louisa won’t mind that Zoey’s always been a bit of a misfit. Louisa’s ex-BFF, however, doesn’t seem too happy to welcome Zoey to the neighborhood. And when they all end up at church camp together, it’s not just a matter of whether or not Zoey can fit in…it becomes a firsthand lesson in what it really means to “love your enemy.”</div>

When the school year begins, Zoey’s terrified to go without Louisa—who’s out with a nasty flu. The same enemies she made over the summer are there to haunt her, but she and another new girl stick together…and even seem to find a place among the in-crowd. But is this who Zoey wants to be? Are they really her friends? Who’s going to stick beside her when cyber bullying leaves her as the odd girl out?</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am a little late in posting this. I was struggling to decide what I wanted to talk about for this first day. I came across a YouTube video on Bible study that I thought I'd talk about and share with you today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Elyssa Nalani has a great YouTube video on what to do when you are having trouble studying your Bible and spending time in God's Word. I am actually following her Club 119 Scripture writing plan and I love it. It is writing each stanza in Psalm 119. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her video discusses ways we can help ourselves to be in God's word everyday. I really feel like this is one of those things that once you make it a habit you will want more and more. I myself have gone through several seasons of lags in my Bible study. Most times when this is happening to me, I really don't have a "good" reason for not studying as in a major life event or issue that has turned me off to studying. I think my bigger problem is just being lazy and getting out of the habit. So I'm gonna list some ideas for keeping up your Bible study each day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My first tip is your time. Make time for it. I know a lot of people say they just don't have tie for this. I would encourage you to set a specific time to study each day and if it really looks like your day is all filled up, keep track of how much tv or netflix you are watching or how often you are scrolling through your phone (this is a big one for me!) Take 5 minutes of that time and try reading a few verses and praying. I think you will be surprised how much you enjoy it and how much more time you will end up spending in your quiet time. If it really is a crazy day and sitting in the bible is really difficult, I would suggest podcasts. There are several fantastic apps that are spiritually encouraging and rejuvenating. I will leave links to my favorites at the bottom of this post.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My second tip is to make sure you have a good guideline to get started. Whether it's a new study or just a reading plan you follow, have something you can follow to help you stay on track and give you guidance. I highly recommend any study by Jen Wilkin. Having something as a guide is a great way to stay on track.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My last tip for today is to stick with it. Even in the days when it seems hard, get in God's word any way you can. Any time is good. 5 minutes or an hour, any time you spend with the Lord is a good thing. Try not to let yourself get discouraged. Find a friend to study with and help keep you accountable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bonus tip* Pray, Pray, Pray! This really should be in the main tips but don't forget this core step. Ask the Lord to help you study His word and give you guidance. This is something that is the hardest for me. I feel very inadequate when it comes to prayer. So if prayer time feels awkward know you are not alone. Just keep at it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank y'all so much for reading the post today and feel free to message me or comment below if you have any questions about Bible study or prayer. I will be happy to answer any questions you have and if I can't answer y myself, I will do my best to find the answer for you. I hope next week to have even more advice and great content for our next</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Adding content to a blog/ website is a definite feat when doing it on a cell phone, haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I have recently been able to get high speed internet, Hallelujah!! So I am revamping the blog to get it up and going strong again and I am hoping to add lots of new content. I am going to give you all some info about the ideas I have for some new content on the blog. Also what you can expect from the new content or what I hope to accomplish. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: purple;">PODCASTS</span>: I have been doing a lot of podcast listening this summer. Side note I LOVE PODCASTS!!! They are amazing!! I have so many on my app that I'm following I'll never be able to watch them all. If you've never listened to podcasts, I highly recommend it. You can find Podcasts on absolutely anything. One of the new things I'll be doing each week (hopefully) is to plug one of my favorites for y'all to check out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: lime;">TALKS OF THE SPIRITUAL AND INSPIRATIONAL</span>: Based on some of the podcasts I've been listening to and my daily Bible reading and books I have been reading, I have just had a lot of stuff on my heart that I'd love to share with y'all. Not always scripture or overtly religious, just different thoughts I've got for the day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #073763;">THANKFULNESS</span></span>: I have recently come across a new book coming out about a complaint free year. Now that sounds absolutely insane, but I have noticed in my own life so many times I am complaining without even realizing it. So I have decided to add this to the blog schedule each week to remind us all to be thankful and grateful for the things we have and how much we have been blessed and hopefully not complain so much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">REVIEWS AND BOOKS</span>: This is still a blog about books and reading. There are so many books I've been reading and have still to read so there will be plenty of bookish content to go along with these new additions. I am super excited to get this back up and running strong, so stay tuned. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">HERE IS THE NEW SCHEDULE</span> (tentatively):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Monday-- Mindful Mondays</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tuesday-- book reviews and other content</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wednesday-Podcast reviews and discussions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thursday-- Thankful Thursdays</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Friday-- Book reviews and other content</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturdays and Sundays will only have posts if there are blog tours I have scheduled for those days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There may also be book reviews on other days of the week than the ones listed this is just a rough overview.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank Y'all so much for continuing to follow me and the blog. I have so much I want to do and I am so excited. </span><br />

On the run from a violent past, Leah Allen arrived in tiny Rivertown, South Carolina, battered and broken, but ready to reinvent herself. By a stroke of fate, Leah is drawn to the Southern hospitality of a small café, looking for a warm meal but finding so much more. Lulu, the owner, offers her a job, a place to stay and a new lease on life. Through Lulu’s tenacious warmth and generosity, Leah quickly finds herself embraced by the quaint community as she tries to put herself back together. Given she’s accustomed to cruelty, the kindness is overwhelming.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Soon Leah meets Crowley Mason, the most eligible bachelor in town. A lawyer and friend of Lulu’s, Crowley is wary of Leah’s sudden, mysterious arrival. Despite his reserve, something sparks between them that can’t be denied. But after all she’s been through, can Leah allow herself to truly love and be loved, especially when her first urge is to run?</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Regular family devotions are important. Unfortunately, they're often . . . boring. But what if devotions looked less like sitting still and listening to someone read and more like, say, electrocuting a pickle? Or converting a leaf blower into a toilet paper launcher? Or lighting toothpaste on fire? </span><br>
<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">These hands-on, kinda dangerous, totally unforgettable object lessons (along with nearly fifty others) are not only more fun than other family devotions--they actually deliver the spiritual impact you desire for your kids. So put away the flannelgraph, get out the safety goggles, and start bringing the truths of Scripture to vivid life in your household. Just remember to change out of your Sunday clothes first</span><br>

They too experienced ambition, worry, brokenness, loneliness, and insecurity. They may have wondered how some unusual man from Galilee could possibly understand their needs. And then they met him. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Rather than trivializing their problems or ignoring women, Jesus responded to their deepest needs. He reminded them of their value and transformed their past, present, and future.

Seemingly overnight, the German blitzkrieg of Warsaw in 1939 turns its streets to a war zone and shatters the life of each citizen—Polish, Jewish, or otherwise. Sophie Kumiega, a British bride working in the city’s library, awaits news of her husband, Janek, recently deployed with the Polish Air Force. Though Sophie is determined that she and the baby in her womb will stay safe, the days ahead will draw her into the plight of those around her, compelling her to help, whatever the danger.</div>

Rosa and Itzhak Dunovich never imagined they would welcome their longed-for first child in the Jewish ghetto, or that they would let anything tear their family apart. But as daily atrocities intensify, Rosa soon faces a terrifying reality: to save their daughter’s life, she must send her into hiding. Her only hope of finding her after the war—if any of them survive—is a medallion she cuts in half and places around her neck.</div>

Three years into the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network—field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack every German telegram. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages. But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, for the first time in her life numbers aren’t enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy that just won’t give up. He’s smitten quickly by the too-intelligent Margot, but how to convince a girl who lives entirely in her mind that sometimes life’s answers lie in the heart?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Amidst biological warfare, encrypted letters, and a German spy who wants to destroy not just them, but others they love, Margot and Drake will have to work together to save them all from the very secrets that brought them together.<br />

Her accent was scarcely noticeable anymore, she’d thought. Not nearly so pronounced as Lukas’s or Maman’s. Her English was as fluent as her French had ever been. She even dreamed in it, most of the time.</span></div>
<div class="text" style="line-height: 100%; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 0pt;">

Something that said he appreciated her answer.</span></div>

She’d always been drawn to anyone who actually enjoyed her sense of humor. She supposed she could stand to be friendly. For a minute, before her exhaustion fully caught up with her.</span></div>

It was a question stupid enough that it should have made her itchy. But he’d smiled at her Antarctica quip, so she’d keep playing along. “No, my parents forgot to give me one. It’s a great tragedy. I’ve been answering to ‘you, girl’ all my life.”</span></div>

Willa Forsythe is both a violin prodigy and top-notch thief, which make her the perfect choice for a crucial task at the outset of World War I—to steal a cypher from a famous violinist currently in Wales.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Lukas De Wilde has enjoyed the life of fame he's won—until now, when being recognized nearly gets him killed. Everyone wants the key to his father's work as a cryptologist. And Lukas fears that his mother and sister, who have vanished in the wake of the German invasion of Belgium, will pay the price. The only light he finds is in meeting the intriguing Willa Forsythe.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But danger presses in from every side, and Willa knows what Lukas doesn't—that she must betray him and find that cypher, or her own family will pay the price as surely as his has.<br>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Award-winning and bestselling author James L. Rubart explores the way our memories shape us . . . and how they affect our beliefs.</em></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
Allison Moore has no idea why she got out of her car on that rainy March afternoon and picked up the soaked journal laying on the side of the road. Brought it home. But she did. It was empty. Except for two lines scrawled in the front, too washed out to read. And a Jesus emblem inside the back cover. Something about the journal compels her to start writing in it, capturing thoughts about her newly acquired job that she thought would be heaven, but has turned into hell. Then one day, she finds words in the center of the journal. Words she didn’t write: Mene mene tekel upharsin. After her heart stops hammering, Allison Googles the phrase, and reads the story of Belshazzar’s Feast, where a hand from God writes on the wall, and the king is slain. Fear grips her, certain God is coming after her for what she did twelve years back. What she’s done wrong her whole life. She vows to make things right. Then she discovers more phrases appearing underneath each of her journal entries. Those phrases take her on an emotional roller coaster that forces her to look at everything she believes about her past in a new light, and opens her eyes to a supernatural realm of staggering consequence.<br>

<br><strong><span style="font-size: inherit;">Book Description:</span></strong><br><br>Velvalee Dickinson was born in Sacramento, California, graduated from Stanford University, married three times, and then in the early 1930s moved to New York City where she eventually opened her own exclusive doll shop on the prestigious Madison Avenue. It was there that she built her reputation as an expert in rare, antique, and foreign dolls. She traveled extensively around the country lecturing and exhibiting her dolls while building a wealthy clientele that included Hollywood stars, members of high society, politicians, and other collectors.<br><br>When medical bills started to accumulate because of her husband’s poor health and business started to fail with the onset of World War II, she accepted the role as a spy for the Imperial Japanese Government. By hiding coded messages in her correspondence about dolls, she was able to pass on to her Japanese contacts critical military information about the US warships. After surveilling Velvalee for over a year, the FBI arrested her and charged her with espionage and violation of censorship laws. She became the first American woman to face the death penalty on charges of spying for a wartime enemy.<br><br><em style="position: relative;">Velvalee Dickinson: The “Doll Woman” Spy</em> is a carefully researched glimpse into the “Doll Woman’s” life as a collector of dolls, and as the highest paid American woman who spied for the Imperial Japanese Government during World War II.<br></div></div><a href="https://readerscozycorner.blogspot.com/2019/05/velvalee-dickinson-doll-woman-spy-by.html#more">Read more »</a>Reader's Cozy Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08495399992619304232noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299021851297944021.post-54135182838182218372019-05-23T22:33:00.001-05:002019-05-23T22:33:43.775-05:00The Printed Letter Book Shop by Katherine Reay<br>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
When attorney Madeline Carter inherits her aunt’s bookstore in a small town north of Chicago, she plans to sell it and add the proceeds to her nonexistent “investment portfolio.” But plans change when Madeline discovers the store isn’t making money and she gets passed over for promotion at her firm. She quits in protest, takes the train north, and decides to work at the store to prep it for sale. Madeline soon finds herself at odds with employees Jessica and Courtney; when she also finds herself attracted to an affianced man, it only confuses the entire situation.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
After blowing up her marriage two years earlier, Jessica has found solace working at the bookstore and a kindred spirit within its owner, Maddie Cullen. But when Maddie dies and her niece, Madeline, barges in like a bulldozer, Jessica pushes at the new owner in every way-until she trips over common ground. Soon the women are delving into online dating and fashion makeovers, and Jessica feels the pull to rediscover her art, a love she thought long behind her.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
After a night of bad decisions leaves the store in peril, Courtney arrives and tries to save the day. While she, too, found sanctuary in the little bookstore, she knows it’s under-insured, in the red, and will never survive. When she discovers her teenage daughter has played a part in vandalizing the store, Courtney taps into strength she didn’t know existed-or had long forgotten. The quietest of the three, she steps up and finds a way to save her family, the store, and the precious friendships that have grown within it.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.75em;">
The Printed Letter Bookshop is the story of friends who find each other-and themselves-in a place none of them ever expected.</div>

Orphaned within an Irish workhouse, then widowed at just nineteen, she voyaged to America where she was wooed and wed by Thor Norgaard, a Deaf man in rural Appalachia. That the Lord saw her along the winding journey and that Aven now carries Thor's child are blessings beyond measure. Yet while Thor holds her heart, it is his younger brother and rival who haunts her memories. Haakon--whose selfish choices shattered her trust in him.</span><br>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Having fled the Norgaard orchard after trying to take Aven as his own, Haakon sails on the North Atlantic ice trade, where his soul is plagued with regrets that distance cannot heal. Not even the beautiful Norwegian woman he's pursued can ease the torment. When the winds bear him home after four years away, Haakon finds the family on the brink of tragedy. A decades-old feud with the neighboring farm has wrenched them into the fiercest confrontation on Blackbird Mountain since the Civil War. Haakon's cunning and strength hold the power to seal many fates, including Thor's--which is already imperiled due to a grave illness brought to him at the first prick of warfare.</div>

Now Haakon faces the hardest choice of his life. One that shapes a battlefield where pride must be broken enough to be restored, and where a prodigal son may finally know the healing peace of surrender and the boundless gift of forgiveness. And when it comes to the woman he left behind in Norway, he just might discover that while his heart belongs to a daughter of the north, she's been awaiting him on shores more distant than the land he's fighting for.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Embracing the future means remembering the past . . .</span> When Beck Holiday lost her father in the North Tower on 9/11, she also lost her memories of him. Eighteen years later, she’s a tough New York City cop burdened with a damaging secret, suspended for misconduct, and struggling to get her life in order. Meanwhile a mysterious letter arrives informing her she’s inherited a house along Florida’s northern coast, and what she discovers there will change her life forever. Matters of the heart only become more complicated when she runs into handsome Bruno Endicott, a driven sports agent who fondly recalls the connection they shared as teenagers. But Beck doesn’t remember that, either. Decades earlier, widow Everleigh Applegate lives a steady, uneventful life with her widowed mother after a tornado ripped through Waco, Texas, and destroyed her new, young married life. When she runs into old high school friend Don Callahan, she begins to yearn for change. Yet no matter how much she longs to love again, she is hindered by a secret she can never share. Fifty years separate the women but through the power of love and miracle of faith, they each find healing in a beautiful Victorian known affectionately as The Memory House.<br>
