Jessie Stone has spent thirty-five years fantasizing about marriage proposals, wedding dresses, and falling in love.  She’s been a bridesmaid eleven times, waved dozens of couples off to sunny honeymoons, and shopped in more department stores for half-price fondue pots than she cares to remember.

But shopping in the love-of-her-life department hasn’t been quite as productive.  The man she thought she would marry cheated on her.  The crush she has on her best friend Blake is at very best…well, crushing.  And speed dating has only churned out memorable horror stories.

So when God shows up one day, in the flesh, and becomes a walking, talking part of her life, Jessie is skeptical. What will it take to convince her that God has a better love story than one of the thousands she’s cooked up in her journals?  Will she trust Him with her pen when it appears her dreams of being the bride are forever lost?

A romantic comedy with a spiritual twist, Never the Bride is what it means to lose control—and getting more than any woman could ever imagine.

I must admit that I don’t usually write reviews for self published books, however, I received numerous emails urging me to simple give author Patricia Neely-Dorsey a chance, and ladies and gentlemen I’ve never regretted it.

Patricia has taken the some what “negative” stigma behind the south flipped it, drizzled it with some poetry, and blended it Dorsey style thus creating her own unique flava.

The poems in her books compel feelings of joy, sorrow, laughter, times of the past, some poems easy on the palate of the mind, and on the contrary there are some  thought provoking poems as well. Patricia is a well rounded southern bell who has a bright future ahead of her. To learn more about her visit www.patricianeelydorsey.webs.com.

Pen pals since fourth grade, Summer and Noelle have never met face-to-face. Through decades of heart-level correspondence, they have sustained a deep friendship. A week of adventure helps both women trade anxiety for a renewed and deeper trust in God. When Summer confides in Noelle about the abnormal medical report, Noelle finds the freedom to share a long-held heartache, and both women discover they needed each other more than they realized.

It’s 1905 and the Chicago Cubs are banking on superstar Donald “Duke” Dennison’s golden arm to help them win the pennant. Only one thing stands between Duke and an unprecedented ten thousand dollar contract: alcohol.

That’s when sportswriter David Voyant whisks Duke to the one-horse town of Picksville, Missouri, so he can sober up in anonymity. He bides his time flirting with Ellie Jane Voyant, his unofficial chaperon, who would rather hide herself in the railway station ticket booth than face the echoes of childhood taunts.

Ned Clovis, the feed store clerk, has secretly loved Ellie Jane since childhood, but he loves baseball and the Duke almost as much–until he notices Ellie Jane may be succumbing to the star’s charm.

Then there’s Morris, a twelve-year-old Negro boy, whose only dream is to break away from Picksville. When Duke discovers his innate talent for throwing a baseball, Morris might just have found his way out.

Four individuals, each living in haunted isolation, each harboring a secret passion. Providence brings them together. Tragedy threatens to tear them apart. Will love be enough to bring them home?

Regal Books gave me a chance to interview one of their authors. It was one of the BEST interviews I’ve had on the show. She is not only an author but she is a  speaker and life coach as well. I’m referring to none other than: Joan C. Webb.  She is the author of The Relief of Imperfection and the sequel It’s a Wonderful (Imperfect) Life.

During our interview we discussed the imperfections of a perfectionist and believe you me there are many. As a wanna be perfectionist myself Joan helped me to realize that I simply can’t do it all. That can be extremely hard for me (especially as a wife and mother), because I do try to do it all, but when I try it leaves me feeling irritated and frustrated. The word “all” is a small three letter word but it’s  heavy when you try to bear it. Joan  reminded me that no one is perfect except God.

I found myself within the pages of It’s a Wonderful (Imperfect) Life. The story on page 97 is one that particularly found its way into my heart. Listen in to hear Joan share this lesson learned from a chapter in her life.

I devoured this book in 24 hours. I became completely rapped up into this book that I don’t even remember turning the pages.

My favorite genre is Christian Thriller and let me tell you my fellow readers, using “page turner” to describe this book is a gross understatement. The reader is forcefully compelled not to blink for fear of missing what will happen next.

I have the opportunity to interview Bill Myers and what a great guy. He is a man of God who knows the power of worship.

BTW - I have several copies of this book available,

Waterbrook Multnomah presents…

From Fred Stoeker, the best selling author of Every Man’s Battle, Every Young Man’s Battle and Tactics, and his son Jasen comes a book that every single man needs to read. Hero is a guide to maintaining purity in relationships and becoming the hero that every woman deserves. But it’s also an essential for every parent and pastor trying to raise men of integrity.

You already know it’s not easy being a single man in this culture today. But it is easy to be overwhelmed, to feel helpless and hopeless about living by God’s high standards for singles. It’s easy to cave in to the pressures of this sex-soaked world and accept defeat–blaming the media, the culture, even girlfriends who don’t know how tough it can be.

But many men have read books like Every Young Man’s Battle and Tactics and have committed themselves to stand strong and pure in the power of God, and to go on the offensive against the onslaught of negative stereotypes. Some have suffered. Some have fallen. But many have experienced victory–and you can be among them.

What makes those committed men so desirable to women? Be Her Hero is their motto. From best-selling author Fred Stoeker, along with his son Jasen, come the straightforward insight and real-life examples you’re looking for to help you take personal purity to its logical conclusion. Here’s straight truth with irrefutable evidence of what makes an ultimate hero to women who long for men of faith–men who stand by their convictions and make their world a safer and better place.

Are you ready to accept the challenge?

Paulette Harper has an awesome testimony that she shared with me during our interview. She is a minister who God has chosen to minister to other women who have been hurt.

Sometimes we go through hurt and are left feeling abandoned by God and have no other choice but to fix our problems on our own.  The issues of life have left us feeling as though we are drowning, kicking and gasping for air. Trying to fight through the water to reach the surface to get air but, there’s too much water and we rapidly loose strength and begin to drown. However, we’ve forgotten that Jesus walked on the water and calmed the storm. Therefore, why do we fret?

Listen in as Paulette tells us how badly life hurt her but, because of what she went through she is now equipped to help others realize the power of God. To learn more about Paulette visit her site at www.BVMinistry.org
