A few weeks ago, I shared my review of the first title in the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and this multi author series is quickly becoming a new favorite. You can check out my review of the first title using the link below, and then keep on reading below for today's full review.

My Review:

I'm so thankful I recently discovered the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, as it's quickly becoming a new favorite. I adored the first title in the series, and I couldn't wait to dive right into the second, and hear all about this charming inn, and the three middle aged sisters who call it home.

Going to the Chapel is another sweet and endearing Christian fiction story, and I loved how strong the faith element is within it. I also continue to appreciate the fact that this series isn't even slightly about romance, and instead focuses around sisters Jane, Alice and Louise, and their relationship with each other and the various townsfolk who call Acorn Hill home,

In this installment, the church board is in the process of trying to hire a new head minister, and they can't seem to come to a simple agreement about anything or anyone. Acorn Hill is also getting ready for it's annual summer festival, and this will be the first year without Pastor Howard at its helm.

As the three sisters prepare for the festival, and continue to strive to make their inn a success, a new mystery starts to develop, and they are soon questioning the motives behind what seems to be a devious situation.

All in all, I adored this second installment in the series, and found myself breezing right through it. It's heartwarming, faith filled, and focuses around family and friendships and the need to follow Biblical principles even when it seems impossible to do so. All of that would already make it a new favorite of mine, but the little mysteries woven throughout this series just make it that much better, and I can't wait to continue on with book three.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I'd highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a clean, faith filled read that isn't really a romance.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
