The Winnowing Season by Cindy Woodsmall


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!   


 I just love Amish fiction and Cindy Woodsmall has a new book being released soon so thought I'd give you a first chapter peek on my blog...Enjoy this is my teaser for the week.

God Gave Us Easter by Lisa Tawn Bergren

Papa bear explains to little bear that Easter is even better than Christmas.  He helps his cubs understand what Easter is all about and why God gave us Easter.  He uses an egg to help him illustrate to Little Cub about Jesus' death and the tomb.  He explains how out of death comes life.  This is a very good book to help start your young one thinking about the true meaning of Easter.  A very good book to use to get questions started.  The illustrations are just a good as the story itself.  I love Lisa's books, they are wonderfully written just geared to children. 



"God loved us so much he wanted us to always be with him too. That’s why God knew he’d need to give us Easter.”  

As Little Cub celebrates Easter with Papa, Mama, and her brother and sister, she begins to ask her papa questions about this very special day of the year.  Papa lovingly explains God’s plans for his children, while taking Little Cub on a memorable walk through her stunning Arctic world, and he shares how Easter came about in clear, simple terms that even the littlest cubs can understand.

For Women Only: in the workplace by Shaunti Feldhahn


 If you are female and trying to climb that corporate ladder then this may be just the book you need to invest in. Eight years of research and study from author Shaunti Feldhahn has brought about her writing this book.  It is a great book if you truly want to understand you male counterpart in the workplace.  It will help to open your eyes to a men's view of the workplace.  Feldhahn doesn't say the men's view is correct she just lays it out as to what it is a women needs to overcome to get somewhere in a man's world - the work place.  I got this book with the intent of sharing it with my business "college student" - senior daughter.  I think she will and others like her will benefit  from Feldhahn's book. 

About This Book

Do You Know the Unwritten Rules of the Workplace?

As a veteran of Wall Street and Capitol Hill, Shaunti Feldhahn knows that even the most experienced Christian businesswoman can inadvertently sabotage her career simply because she doesn’t know how her male supervisors, colleagues, and employees think.

For Women Only in the Workplace gives you startling insights into the expectations and perceptions of men at work. Whether you work in a corporate setting, a small business, or a ministry, you’ll find Shaunti’s research invaluable as you discover:

· What you need to know about a man’s hidden insecurity
· What “it’s not personal, it’s just business” actually means to men
· How men view emotion in the workplace—and what they consider to be emotion
· How what you wear can significantly hinder your effectiveness at work
· The secrets to being strong and competent—without being viewed as difficult

Based on eight years of intense research, extensive interviews, and national surveys of more than 3,000 men—from CEOs to assistants, from factory workers to lawyers—For Women Only in the Workplace gives you the keys you need to be who you are and be respected and successful wherever you work with men.

Includes a group discussion guide.

Lilies in the Moonlight by Allison Pittman



This book was quite the page turner. You never knew which direction it was going to take. I can't say that I recall reading any of Allison's books so was very pleasantly pleased. I will be looking for more of her books in the future.  The theme of this book is letting go of the past and forgiveness.

Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball by Donita K. Paul

It's whimsical, it's magical, it's a Christmas Ball, actually a Wizard's Christmas Ball.  This was a fun adorable Christmas read.  Donita transports her readers onto a fantasy street that only few people can find or experience, those being the ones with tickets to the Ball.  Donita makes the Christmas spirit come alive for everyone in her novella.  It is such a charming and heartwarming book in more ways than one:  cover, characters and plot.  The author has a way to transport the reader into this contemporary yet fantasy world of make-believe and experience with Cora how to really celebrate Christmas.  Hot chocolate with whipping cream and a candy cane stir stick with be a plus while reading this book along with a fire and snuggle wrap.  You really feel like your part of the scene while reading Donita's book.  I had a hard time putting the book down.  Yep, you'll get hooked it is a page turner for sure.

Radical by David Platt


My review after reading the first chapter of Racidal
Oh, my finally a megachurch leader is finally getting it. I may have to get this book so I can finish reading and see what Platt's plan is. From the first chapter he sounds right on exactly what my hubby has been preaching to our minichurch members. Platt has written this book to show how the church of today in America has actually turned away from Jesus. They are lifting hands in worship to self. I say, "Amen, preach it brother." There is no where in the Bible where we see Jesus using gimmacks to get people to follow Him. Actually, we see Him telling people to give up everything and follow Me. Why should we use entertainment and things to get people to come to church? We in America are comfortable in our multi-million dollar church buildings not having to sacrifice anything for the cause of Christ as those in Asia countries. We cater to ourselves and don't abandon anything for Christ. Platt's message in the first chapter seems to me that this book is a nail head hitter. We need to wake up in our comfy American churches and worship the true God and not the god of self as most are doing these days in the worship service. Now you have me going. I do think I need to get this book and finish reading what this author has to say about the Radical change that needs to be made in the churches of America. Maybe just maybe we need to get Back-to-the-Basics in America's churches.
