Matt Bronleewe

I have gone on a reading rampage. I do that every once in awhile. In a couple of weeks I have read a total of 7 books - fiction, that is. I get lost in the characters and the story line, it is like a vacation. I have done this ever since I can remember. I have to cut myself off, however, because I have no self control. Once I get into a book, I have a hard time putting it down. Being a mother of 3, you can imagine that would not be a good thing. As you may suspect then, my house is in disorder. Leaving children to play, while I am buried in a book can be disastrous. So, I am done reading fiction for the time being, unless you count Junie B. Jones, First Grader books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar book, and other books of that caliber.

Either at Christmas or my birthday -I can't remember, my husband Kirk got me 2 books. When I saw them I just set them aside and thought to myself that my husband just doesn't understand the kind of books that I like to read. However, after my sister-in-law came to visit and she looked through them, like I should have done, we discovered a treasure. Both books were the second in a set, so I had to get the first one from the library. I started with the Raven series that I wrote previously about. I just recently finished reading the other series. The books are written by Matt Bronleewe and are about a rare book collector named August Adams. He is an Indiana Jones type character. Very exciting and I think that you should read them. Maybe my husband gets me after all... you think?

The King Raven Trilogy

I love to read. I have ever since I can remember. I don't like to read just any book. Usually it needs to be historical with adventure, some fantasy and of course a little romance doesn't hurt. Since having children, reading books is something that I don't do very often. However, when I do, I go on a reading binge. My latest find? Thanks to my sister-in-law and my husband it is "The King Raven Trilogy" by Stephen Lawhead. He takes the story of Robin Hood and reworks it. I truly enjoyed the books and am left hoping that if there ever was a man like Robin Hood, that Lawhead's story is close to the original.

Crazy Love by Francis Chan

My husband purchased a book called "Crazy Love." I noticed it's cover, but didn't look inside. While I was at CIY this summer, I noticed it was in the selection of books that they were selling. So I became a little more interested in it. When I got home, I browsed through it and decided that I should read it.

One thing this book isn't is "Charismatic." It isn't . It isn't a page turner. I wasn't excited to turn the next page, however, it is a heart pricker. If you have a chance, I recommend this book to you. Let me know what you think. How do you describe your love for God?

"Because when you are wildly in love with someone, it changes everything." - taken from the back of the book's cover.
