Going to the Chapel by Rebecca Kelly Review

 Hello Friends :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

If it's your first visit, then welcome! I'm Kirby, and I'm so thankful you've chosen to stop by my little bookish corner on the internet.

If you've been by before, then welcome back! I'm excited you're here to share in a fun book review today.

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.

Who will become the new minister of Grace Chapel? The church board can't stop squabbling, and every week the congregation hears a sermon from a different minister.

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 :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas.
