About the Book


Book: Texas Tears
Author: Caryl McAdoo
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: September 2, 2019

Just like Mexico and the U.S. wanted the Republic of Texas; best friends Charity and Arlene want the same man. Who will Texas choose? Who will the man? Will Eberhart de Priest, the object of the young ladies’ desires, follow his heart or his mother’s advice? And what of the interloper from New Orleans who knows exactly whom he loves? Can a Christian find happiness with a non-believer? Only the Lord knows the future, but He does give the desires of the heart to those who delight in Him.

My Review

Texas Tears visits an interesting point in Texas history where they decide whether they want to become a formal state or not, and I found that backdrop to be really interesting. Charity and Arlene are both unique and endearing in their own way- they just happen to have their sights on the same man who has issues of his own between his own heart and his mother's advice. Throughout the entire story a thread of faith that God knows the future and we can rest in him because He has his best planned for us is really inspiring. The way our characters speak give us that old world charm, but is still understandable. I feel like each character grows a lot through the story. Overall, I recommend this one for the history fiction reader, or those looking for a slow-blossoming romance that has a prominent thread of faith.

About the Author


Caryl McAdoo prays her story brings God glory—what she lives to do. Her award-winning, best-selling novels enjoy a lion’s share of 5-Star ratings from Christian readers around the world. With forty-five titles, it’s obvious she loves writing almost as much as singing the new songs the Lord gives her—listen to a few at YouTube. ‘Golden husband Ron shares four children and eighteen grandsugars. The McAdoos live in the woods south of Clarksville, seat of Red River County in far Northeast Texas, waiting expectantly for God to open the next door.  


More from Caryl

TEXAS TEARS includes the vote to enter the Union or remain a Republic in 1845. Though it ended in an overwhelming approval to become a state, believe you me, tears fell all over Texas and have been falling since for some. As a semi-closet secessionist, it wouldn’t bother me if the Texas Legislature voted tomorrow to become the Second Republic of Texas! There are plenty of true radicals living today in the Lone Star State who work diligently daily toward that end!  

 Anyway, tears also fell in the new Texas community where the four families first met in GONE TO TEXAS—the O’Neals, Van Zandts, Worleys, and Harrells—have been settling in five years. One of their own, Thomas Baldwin (introduced in book two, TEXAS MY TEXAS) represented them in the Texas Congress, going to Washington on the Brazos to vote!

 Not all the tears that fell in that growing community were over the vote, but rather a man who came riding in on a magnificent black stallion. Eberhart de Vecchi was tall, handsome, and a perfect Prince Charming who swept the two young coming-of-age women there right off their high-topped shoes! Friends their whole lives, the older, Charity O’Neal, claimed him right off, but Arlene Van Zandt the younger—only by six months and three days—who’s always given in before isn’t ready to acquiesce so quickly in this instance, smitten as she is.  

 And so, thar’s trouble in them thar hills! To thicken the sludge, enters the hard-working Landry Humble, Monroe’s (also introduced in book two TEXAS MY TEXAS) nephew. This young man, able to pick more than twice his weight in cotton in a day, knows immediately which lovely he wants. My, my, my . . . the tears do fall in Texas, and not everyone can have a happy ending. Or can they?

My Review

I've never read a Christian fiction set in South Carolina "Lowcountry" so I was really intrigued by the kind of old south vibe you get from this book set in the 1960s. Apparently it pertains to the past of characters in this series, so I feel like, although it serves well as a standalone, I was a little lost jumping into the story. I would definitely recommend going back and reading the series before reading this flashback book, because I just felt like I couldn't get into it well without reading that. I found the multiple storylines to weave together well, and I found the romance within a slow, enjoyable blossoming to read. I felt like the plot was a little choppy as it jumped from one storyline to the other, but I enjoyed the thread of faith that connected it all. There was also a bit of intrigue, but not enough to throw someone off who is looking for a nice romance book that doesn't have a lot of suspense. The characters were nice, I just didn't connect with them very well. I'm giving 4 stars because I really feel if I had read more of the series I would have found more enjoyment. Overall, if you're looking for a kind of old south, faith-filled sweet romance, this one is for you.

More from Pamela

Hi, I’m Pamela Poole, and I live an amazing life as an artist and author! What makes my life amazing isn’t the things I get to do. It’s the scope of experiences, from devasating to incredibly wonderful, that are used by Christ to weave my story and make it one worth telling and living. Have you ever noticed that people entertain themselves at the expense of the suffering of others? What about the book you’re currently reading? Would you be interested in the story if the author didn’t drag the characters through excruciating ordeals so they could grow into a better person? We tend to pray for protection from trouble for ourselves and loved ones, then we relish reading or watching others as they cope with it. Their stories are the ones we find amazing. What irony! In my latest novel, Landmark, I take readers back to the year 1960 to journey with the Painter and Gregoy families as they navigate through trouble on the verge of a tumultuous new decade. Their efforts to do the right things as they walk with Christ will not eliminate the valuable struggle ahead of them. Like other novels in the saga, Landmark is a nostalgic, entertaining, and wholesome story, yet it is packed with meaningful insights that encourage us as we set up our own landmarks to mark the times when Jesus was faithful through our struggles. Landmark is the first book in the saga chronologically.

Hashtag Rogue by Chautona Havig




 About the Book


Book: Hashtag Rogue
Author: Chautona Havig
Genre: Fiction / Contemporary / Suspense
Release Date: August 20, 2019

Something is terribly wrong in The Agency. Again.

Flynne Dortmann: computer specialist extraordinaire. The right arm of every agent in The Agency. And totally untrained for agent duty.

So when no one takes a threat seriously, Flynne does the only thing she can think of.

With money she has no authorization to use, a gun she’s never fired in her hip pocket, and more zip-ties than any agent should be allowed to carry, Flynne takes on protective detail for an unwilling client. #Rogue.

Mark Cho hasn’t had a chance to get used to being Marco Mendina—head of the Eastern US Agency. Not only that, every sign points to someone knowing he isn’t who he appears to be. His agency is in trouble.  His agents may be in danger, and with an office girl gone rogue, deciding what problem to tackle first is a problem in itself.

Not to mention, he misses his office assistant with her emoji-speak, killer tech skills, and sharp instincts.

My Review

I was "freakazoiding" while reading the latest from Chautona, Hashtag Rogue. (Sorry, I couldn't resist. lol). Flynne was such a protagonist- her own hip/odd language, her unexpected appearance, and her formidable spirit along with a health dose of uncertainty. I found myself equally gasping in anticipation at the suspense as well as just laughing, literally out loud, at Flynne. She totally has that Penelope Garcia vibe from Criminal minds, and yet she is totally unique and original too. The thread of faith with the content inside was a feat to incorporate, and yet, Chautona does it seamlessly as usual. The suspense was unexpected, fast-paced, and glued you to the page. I also enjoyed the heroes, and each character was beautifully developed and relatable. While the book had a satisfying conclusion, you will definitely want to read future installments! I recommend this one looking for a quirky heroine, a truly Christian suspense, or just an unexpected page turner!

Read an Excerpt

Erika ordered her eyes to open.

They declined the offer.

Once more, and with as much of a mental drill sergeant tone as she could muster, she demanded the possibility of sight. Neither eyelid gave so much as a twitch. Resigned, she then tried to ascertain the reason for said incorporation by the lids of her eyes. Her brain, too, had gone AWOL. White noise replaced rational thought, grit, replaced natural eye moisture, and if the sensation coming from her tongue could be trusted, she’d transformed into a cottonmouth.

  Except that I can’t slither. I know I can’t. That, Erika decided, was improvement. It just had to be rational thought. Oh, God please. A question arose. Do I pray? The moment she asked, Erika nodded—inwardly, anyway. I do. Not sure since when… maybe that’ll come next. Clarity formed when a voice broke through what might or might not have been consciousness. “Oh, thank whatever you’re supposed to thank—don’t want to be, like, totes offensive if I’m not supposed to say, ‘God,’ but I was afraid you had flat-lined.” “Flynne?” “Yay! She lives!” Why do I feel like that’s supposed to be “He lives?” “So, can you sit up if I help you?” Bile churned in Erika’s gut. Her eyes felt like they bugged, but she wasn’t even confident she could see anymore.

Then Flynne’s purple, green, and blue hair came into view. She glared, wrestling her mouth into contortions and fighting back the urge to vomit. “Please!” It came out more like, “Mmmweeeeeffff” “Can’t understand you.” Flynne’s eyes narrowed. Perspiration formed on Erika’s forehead, neck, and in every other uncomfortable place. Cold, clammy perspiration. “Do you promise not to scream if I take this off?” She tapped the tape. Erika just nodded with vehemence that nearly lost her what breakfast she’d eaten. Again, Flynne’s eyes grew even narrower than the first time.

“Okay…” Eyes wide, the girl ripped off her high-top converse and pulled a sock from her foot. “So help me, if you scream, I’m stuffing this in your mouth—supes gross.” She wriggled it for effect—just in case Erika didn’t catch the utter disgustingness of it. Once more, Erika nodded and pleaded. You’re so going to regret threatening me with that. If Satan wanted to recruit torturers to relieve demons, Flynne would have been perfect for the job. She worked the tiniest corner of the duct tape free. Erika choked and grimaced. She jerked her head hard to the right. Flynne stared. Once more, she jerked it. “You want me to rip it off? That’ll hurt!” But the moment Flynne said “rip,” Erika began bobbing her head fast enough to ensure she drowned in vomit within seconds.

Flynne had mad ripping skills, however. In less than three seconds, the tape jerked free—and so did the contents of Erika’s stomach. All over Flynne’s bare foot and Converse shoes. The moment she stopped heaving, Erika glared up at the girl and moaned, “That’s payback for this.” The battle of the glares began. Flynne broke the silence that followed first. “If you weren’t Keith’s girlfriend and religious, I’d swear at you. Consider yourself cussed out.” Before Erika could choose between the half-dozen scathing remarks fighting for preeminence, Flynne froze. “Wait. You called me, like, every name in the book. I thought you religious people couldn’t do that!” The churning began again. “I did?” If she could have gagged, she would have. If she could have puked she might have.

“Do I want to know what I said?” Without hesitation, Flynne rattled off every inappropriate word Erika had spent the last few months working to eradicate from her vocabulary. “Then you got all sesquipedalian on me.” “Sesquatch-what?” Flynne turned a little green herself as the stench of partially digested breakfast assaulted her olfactory system. “Sesquipedalian.” At Erika’s doubtful look, Flynne went into action. She removed her other shoe, disappeared outside, returned with clean feet and ready to do business. “For your information it’s a big word that means, ‘a big word.’” “No offense, Flynne, but you aren’t exactly known for your erudition.” The girl gave a fine imitation of a puppy cocking its head—a blue, green, and purple-haired puppy. “That’s not one of the word-of-the-day words I’ve had. C’mon… let’s get you cleaned up and inside.”

 She peeked her head outside, scanned the area, and looked back at Erika. “No one’s in the neighborhood that I can tell, but you’d be smart not to go all screamo on me or anything that would call the cops.” “And why’s that?” Flynne tried to be surreptitious, but Erika caught her eying a white Camry on the other side of the garage before answering, “Because I can get you out of here before they arrive, and you don’t want to be awake when I’m driving fast.” Something deep in her gut—something other than the renewed churning that hinted she might lose what was left of the contents of her stomach—hinted that Flynne might not be exaggerating. But I’m not going to let her know that. It’d serve her right if I puked all over that car. What’d she do with hers, anyway? After throwing a dark look at her, Flynne stalked from the garage and returned a few minutes later with a roll of duct tape slid over her arm like a grunge bracelet gone wrong. “You’re already in hot water with the Big Guy for your potty mouth, so don’t add lies. Stuff it or stick it?” “If you tape my mouth and I vomit, you’ll be responsible for my death. Just sayin’.” “Then don’t make noise.” Flynne glared at her. “I’m just trying to help here. Just sayin’.Didn’t know you had that much grit. The woozy, stomach-revolting-on-every-side feeling returned in time for Erika to make a decision. “I’m not going to scream. I don’t want to puke in a cop car, either. But if you don’t get me inside where I can be comfortably horizontal with a bowl by my side, I’m going to puke all over you and enjoy every second of it.” Her stomach rumbled. Mostly. 

That perked Flynne up for reasons Erika couldn’t fathom. She hooked her tape-free arm under Erika’s and said, “Then let’s go, Kokomo!” That’s way too old-school—like fifty years old school. A vague memory poked through the cloud cover of her mind. “I think Keith gave me vitamins or drugs to combat after-effects. I think I need those.” Not until Flynne had her tucked up on a couch in the family room, a bright red mixing bowl on the floor beside it and a glass of water on the coffee table, did Flynne bother to answer. “Sorry. I was freakazoiding when I left the Agency and just got what I thought I needed to get you safe. I’m not trained for this.” “Then call Keith. He’ll come. He is trained, and he’ll take care of me.”

 Even as she said it, Erika knew it was futile. Flynne had it in her head that this was necessary. So, she could wait. The Agency would take care of her job, her bills, and Flynne could learn that being an agent wasn’t a good career choice. Everything would be just fine for a few days—until Flynne got over herself. The first epithet marched across the stage of her mind, stepped up to the mic and tapped it, ready to let loose. Erika groaned. As if propelled by itself, the red bowl appeared at her lips. “I’m sorry! I don’t know what I’m doing. The stuff these guys have to do—totes amazeballs!” “I was groaning at my language. Can you be quiet for a minute or two while I pray? It’s totes impossible to take repentance seriously when you’re puffy hearting your cray-cray amazeballs.” “Coolio. Sure thing.”

  I just lost fifty IQ points. I know it. Let’s start with prayers for rejuvenated little gray cells and move onto repentance after that. Okay, Lord?

Haven of Rest by Faith Blum


About the Book


Book: Haven of Rest
Author: Faith Blum
Genre: Biblical fiction
Release Date: July 26, 2019

Adah was neglected by her abba and her brother. She must do something. All her previous plans have failed, but she won’t slip up this time. Since her abba is King David, author of many songs, what better way to gain his attention than pulling off a concert featuring twelve of his daughters?


As she plans, Adah’s discontentment grows. She throws herself into the work but worry edges into her heart anyway. Can Adah learn to rest in Adonai as her father? Will she learn contentment in all things?

My Review

So, I felt really transported to the time of King David, and really had a mental picture of the customs, the area, and the royal family. I think it was really creative of the author to show us what the daughter of a king's life would look like and what challenges they would possible face (especially considering women at this time weren't really given the opportunity to do as much). I feel like the author made Adah very relatable understanding the need for a father's love and attention, and I'm sure that in real life this could have been an issue for David's children. I felt the theme of faith in God in the midst of uncertainty and a time when women had little say so over their lives was certainly relevant then and now, and I enjoyed our heroine's faith journey. The book is a short read, more like a novella in my opinion. The flow is ok, but not quite where I wish it would be, and the action comes in kind of a little bit of awkward spurts. I think this book shows a lot of a promise for this author, and I enjoyed her attention to historical detail especially mixing real Bible characters with fictional. Perhaps this one for those looking for a shorter read, historical read, or inspirational read.


I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are entirely my own.

More from Faith

The Haven of Rest was inspired by a friend. I wanted another fairy tale to retelling for my series, but had run out of ideas and she mentioned the 12 Dancing Princesses and how they 12 girls could be 12 daughters of King David. It took a little while, but the idea soon grew into this story. I do take liberties throughout the story. It is a Biblical Fiction story, and I tried hard to keep to those roots and keep it accurate throughout, including for the betrothals and weddings. However, a few liberties I took were:
  • Giving King David more daughters than are mentioned. I did have Tamar be one of the daughters.
  • Creating a backstory for Amnon’s obsession with Tamar.
  • Showing that King David was a flawed man who was not a good father. Although this isn’t stated outright in the Bible, it is definitely implied by the rebellion three of his sons showed and his lax discipline of Amnon after his rape of Tamar.
  • The other liberty I took is a spoiler for the end of the book, so you will have to read the book to find out what that was. I do explain my reasoning of that one in the Historical Note at the end of the book.
I really enjoyed writing this story and hope you enjoy reading it!

Letters from Jesus by Chris Palmer


About the Book


Book: Letters from Jesus
Author: Chris Palmer
Genre: Religion / Biblical Studies/History & Culture
Release Date: September 10, 2019

“In Revelation 2:2, Jesus tells the church in Ephesus something intimate—Google Street View intimate. He says, ‘I know your works’ (Oida ta erga sou). Four words don’t seem like much, but in the Greek, it packs a punch.… Jesus chooses the Greek word oida, which expresses total, comprehensive knowledge. It is intimate knowledge that comes from being up close and personal. This knowledge isn’t hazy on the details. It doesn’t struggle to remember. It preserves the particulars. In the mind’s eye, everything is sharp and clear, like a well-taken photograph.” —Chris Palmer

Letters from Jesus: Studies from the Seven Churches of Revelation explores Christ’s warnings to the seven most prominent churches in Asia Minor in the book of Revelation. These letters date back to 95 A.D., but they help us make a fascinating discovery about civilization: life hasn’t changed that much over the last two millennia. Author Chris Palmer illustrates the truths contained in the Letters from Jesus using modern, everyday day examples. The host of the popular podcast Greek for the Week, he unpacks Greek words and phrases in these verses from Revelation with humor, joy, and biblical scholarship.

Why study Greek, even just a little bit? As Chris explains, looking at the New Testament in the original language in which it was written can offer us some beautiful insights into God’s Word. “It’s like reading the Bible in high definition,” he says. Also, “studying God’s Word in the original language forces us to approach it with reverence and awe, humbling ourselves to obey what it says, whether it’s something we want to hear or not.”

My Review

What a refreshing Scripture-packed book this was! This book was not intimidating AT ALL when it came to understanding the importance of knowing the original Greek behind the Scripture. The author wrote it simply, and made relevant illustrations that connected easily with the contemporary reader that has no seminary training, or even didn't grow up in church. I think the book inspires us all to be Bible scholars, so that we can see all the layers of the infallible Word that God has given us. Each chapter was short, had a prayer, relevant Scriptures, and plenty of illustrations and applications. While I don't know and can't vouch for all of our author's theology in entirety, this book really hit the nail on the head and brought a fresh and enjoyable experience of studying the churches mentioned in Revelation. This book could easily be put down and picked up again and read at a longer pace. I also think it would be a valuable resource for a Sunday school/life group teacher, especially if he/she doesn't have like a formal Biblical education background. Most importantly, I learned a lot about the Lord, the church, and more about how I can serve him. I recommend this book for any reader looking for an easy, enjoyable, Scripture filled Bible study/Bible emphasis book.
