Love Books? Want to Add to Your Collection?



Do you love a great novel? What is your favorite genre, mystery, suspense, horror, speculative fiction, romance, Amish, westerns, historical or even inspirational? Have I got a deal for you!!!

If you read my "Hoarders" post from yesterday, most of you are up to date with what is happening as God is connecting the dots. For those of you that haven't, you can click on the word and it will take you to yesterday's post about the amazing power of God and the Holy Spirit to work amazing things in not only your life, but mostly to glorify and honor God.

I've been a book reviewer since 2009 and with that I've accumulated quite a collection. God was placing a need on my heart to be willing to part with about half of them if not more to bless those like myself that truly enjoy the love of reading. I had planned on donating them to our local library to aid those who can't afford to buy a book, but love that experience of being so immersed in a great story it removes you from this life for a period of time. That is how I discovered reading by the way.

So yesterday while standing in the shower, God have me another prompting and that was to help another blogger, Tiffany Stuart from Tea with Tiffany, fulfill her dream to head to Uganda as part of the Beauty for Ashes Missions trip. He simply said to make the call and He would do the rest. I mean what did I have to lose, besides Tiffany telling me, No.

But she didn't. In fact, we talked on the phone after being fellow bloggers for several years but never really got together to talk, and man, could you feel God moving in that moment. So here is where you come into the picture.

I have a list of books I am willing to donate to help Tiffany get to her missions goal of $3500.00. She has already received donations of $400.00 and needs the remaining $3100.00. This is where you get an great deal. Simply look through the attached list and let me know what your book selections would be along with a donation of any kind. Pay a $1.00 per book, $5.00 per book, $100.00 per book. The choice is up to you and God. All the donations will go to help Tiffany get to Uganda at 100%. What is the catch, I only ask that you pay for shipping costs. I am going to use Priority Mail because not only do you get the books faster, but you pay one standard fee to ship as many as will fit in the box.

Can you order 1, 5 or all of them? Yes!!! That is the beauty of this. Now is the perfect time to add some exceptional novels to your summer reading list. To buy a great gift for that book lover in your family who will never turn down a great book. And the best part is its a win/win. You get a great collection of novels and you move us closer to helping Tiffany achieve her goal.

You can even skip selecting books if God has placed a need on your heart to just donate money without anything in return by clicking on this link to pay with your credit card to her ministry directly. Donate to Beauty for Ashes for Tiffany's Trip!

How do your participate? Simply email me at Stevenkat27@verizon.net after looking at the list and let me know which books your interested in, how you want to pay, and what you wish to donate. I'll figure out the cheapest shipping costs to your address and email you back with a confirmation of the total costs. Once payment is received, your books will be shipped. If you want to add insurance, that is fine too! Since this is a first come, first serve, we can't not guarantee your selections but will do our best to keep the list updated as books are selected. We might even add more as we get them.

If you have any questions about any of the books, you can find the synopsis on Amazon if you look them up along with the author, you can email me directly, and if you have any questions at all, I will be more than happy to help you. Some are hard covers, most are paperback and a few are Advance Reader Copies. They are all from a smoke free home and have been well cared for being stored in a book shelf in my office. They are like new and have not been written in.

You can find the list here and it's being updated to add another 200 novels at this time. Uganda Book List.

Angel in the Shadows


Megan Laughlin looks like any other average high school girl except for one unique thing. She has the ability to see angels. Not only is she able to see their glowing light that surrounds them identifying them no matter how hard they try to blend in, God's given her a gift into the unseen realm.

She finds out about this unique gift when she begins seeing things that she wonders if she isn't going crazy. One of her camp counselors, Mr. Z as he is know about camp is glowing. Thinking perhaps he may be dying of some radioactive disease, he asks her one morning at the beginning of camp, just what she sees. She tells him that he glows. He laughs and then proceeds to enlighten her on his true identity of being called by God to help Megan with her gift and the coming evil that's headed her way.

Megan fears that even though she loves Seth, her boyfriend, who is also a believer, he may not understand her gift and would end their relationship. So Megan struggles with using her gift of sight during the 8 days at camp. During this time she sees evil spirits that manifest as a dark shadow like cloud, while the dark angels who can change forms into whatever they desire are the ones see is advised to stay away from.

When she returns home from camp, she soon learns that their is a new kid in town, who is very popular in school, Damon Vincente Lawless or D.V.L. for short. Nice initials huh? Now its a battle for the very lives of those she attends school with and for Damon this is a game about soul winning and he isn't about to lose.

In the first book in the Angels in the Shadow series, so we begin the battle brewing between good and evil, heaven and hell and even angels and demons. Angel in the Shadows, Book 1, by Lisa Grace will have you glued to the pages of the first book. I literally inhaled it in two hours and could not put it down. The only disappointing thing was it ended too quickly. I could have read this book all night long for how well written it was. It literally pulls the reader in from the first page.

Even Amazon has placed it in the top 10 as one of the most downloaded teen books!! She has also been interviewed by CBS on her books as well! I can easily see why. Now that I have finished the first and Lisa was kind enough to send me the second one, well you can imagine where I will be after writing this review, back into book 2, Angel in the Storm just to see where this one picks up. I know I will not be disappointed. This book easily rates a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. This series is just as good as the Twilight series but deals with reality instead of fictional vampires and werewolves.

I received this ebook compliments of Lisa Grace for my honest review and am so glad God blessed me with the opportunity to review this one. I can't wait for my oldest daughter, whose 18 to pick this one up. If you would like more information on this book which is only available in eBook and Hardcover formats, the author and even where to pick up a copy of this book, please click on the links below: Right now, you can get the ebook format on Amazon for $ .99! It's worth it, trust me!
