Monday, January 10, 2011. Christmas in Plains: Memories. I received Christmas in Plains. As a gift and it has been on my shelves for a couple years.

Tabitha's Reads: April 2011
http://tabithasreads.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. The Miracle of Mercy Land. I had very high hopes for The Miracle of Mercy Land. When I read the back of the book. However, I was sadly disappointed. One of the questions in the reader’s guide at the end asks “When you turn the last page…what is the strongest impression the novel leaves with you? 8221; I’m left feeling confused. Why does Aunt Ida suddenly become a major character in the plot when I feel like I never really knew her? What the heck is the book? 2011 - Books I Read.

Sunday, September 18, 2011. So, it should come at no surprise that I really enjoyed reading book one of the "Wings of Glory" series by Sarah Sundin. "Wings of Glory" is a series of three books about three brothers who serve during WWII. The first book, "A Distant Melody," was a very enjoyable read and I enjoyed it more than " A Memory Between Us.

Monday, November 1, 2010. The 80s returned today. I was definitely living vicariously through my 4-year-old daughter Ingrid today. She came home with her first Pizza Hut Book It! Do you remember trying to earn these as a kid? I LOVED this program. I think I loved it more for the button and little star stickers I got each month, but that's just me.I was a nerd. But, not nerdy enough to KEEP the button.check out the Book It Alumni. Now there are some passionate/loyal people! However, the alumni T-shirt.

Tabitha's Reads: A Memory Between Us
http://tabithasreads.blogspot.com/2010/12/memory-between-us.html
Saturday, December 25, 2010. A Memory Between Us. A Memory Between Us. Is part of a trilogy (although I believe each book can stand on its own) of books about three brothers serving during WWII. Each book focuses on one of the three brothers and their quest for love and wrestling with God. I think I inadvertently read book two of the series, but felt I got a good grasp of the context of book one. I find it hard to discover WWII historical/romance fiction books so I really appreciate authors that try to t...

Tabitha's Reads: January 2010
http://tabithasreads.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. I reviewed Francis Chan's latest book ". This past fall. In this book he cites a Korean Christian woman who spent five years in Japanese prisons during WWII because she refused to worship Japanese shrines (which was a law at that time.) He described how this woman, knowing she would be going to prison in the near future, memorized several books of the Bible and ate rotten food in order to prepare herself for the harsh realities of prison. Let me just restate that: She ate. 8221;...

Tabitha's Reads: Under the Overpass
http://tabithasreads.blogspot.com/2010/12/under-overpass.html
Friday, December 17, 2010. I’ve kind of been on a non-fiction book kick as of late and more specifically books focused on the social justice aspect of the Christian walk. (However, in contrast… I am now reading a completely predictable and sappy WWII Christian romance novel. That is lame but I for some reason can’t abandon reading it…). 8220; Under the Overpass. There were four things that stood out to me in this book:. From the very beginning of the book, I was inspired by the sheer obedience Yankoski d...
