A Lineage of Grace
Obviously she took some liberties to flesh out the stories as we are not told in the Bible the thoughts and motives and details of these accounts, but the way she writes makes you really see the other side and perspectives of the 'well-known' passages.
Taken
Firstly, you won’t find Liam Neeson in this book. Or any special sets of skills for that matter.
Pray for Silence
I wish I had never started this book.
Just Do Something
“The only chains God wants us to wear are the chains of righteousness—not the chains of hopeless subjectivism, not the shackles of risk-free living, not the fetters of horoscope decision making— just the chains befitting a bond servant of Christ Jesus. Die to self. Live for Christ. And then do what you want, and go where you want, for God’s glory.”
Once We Were Brothers
The main character, Elliot, in present day, recognizes who he thinks to be Otto (though now with a different name), a boy raised by Elliot’s family/turned Nazi officer and accuses him of his past crimes, including stealing his family’s wealth.
Chaos Walking
This series is one where you become very invested in the story. It’s one I hated and I loved.
Rogue Lawyer
Unlike most of his novels, a lot of the book did not happen inside the courtroom. I like the law drama and questioning and seeing a case come together, so this book was not my favorite of his.
What’s Best Next
Basically to sum it up: Do the best work you can do, do all the good you can do (all work you do are good works), schedule things that matter, and know that your hope is in Christ.
Bridge to Haven
This was a jarring picture depicting our rebellion against God's desire to have a relationship with him.
Sailing Between the Stars
I am a lover of words and was very engaged in his writing style and his 'musings'. I also love to write and this book inspired me to pick up the pen again.
The Ice Twins
Good and mysterious book! Keeps you guessing.
I Was Here
Without giving too much away, I think my biggest thing with this book was the lack of hope.
P.S. I Love You
This is one of my favorite movies. Most of the time I like the books better than the movies, however this is a case where I am able to still love the book and the movie both even though there are differences.
Die Again
I will say that this book had some gruesome imagery and may not be a good book to read while you're eating lunch!
In Cold Blood
It was an interesting read. I hadn't heard of this trial at all so it was new to me.
Generous Justice
The Glass Castle
It's hard to criticize a book about someone's life. I have a hard time separating the content from the literary aspects so I suppose you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.
What If?
I love my science with a side of comic! His drawings might be better than his explanations.
We Were Liars
A group of friends. Lies and truth. And more lies. Destruction. And secrets. But I can’t tell you what happens.
52 Steps to Murder
The title is clever but I got tired of them talking allll the time about how they hated climbing up the steps and all the jokes around climbing them and falling down them. It's a lot of steps- we get it, find something else to talk about.
