Review:

Tales From Grace Chapel Inn has become a new favorite series of mine over the past couple of years. I love how this multi author series focuses around the importance of faith, family and friendship, and showcases how important it is to show hospitality to those around us, even when it doesn't seem to be appreciated.

As we check back in with the three Howard sisters, Lousie, Alice and Jane, we see the lovely town of Acorn Hill preparing for a town wide class reunion, and all the hi jinks and hilarity that comes along with it. This particular installment is mainly told in the viewpoint of Jane, the youngest sister. She's been roped into helping arrange the catering services for a large part of the reunion, and she's not sure she's adequately prepared for everything about to be thrown her way. Add to the fact that the inn is currently habited by a young couple who can't seem to figure out their future, a cranky older man who seems to be immune to the wonders of Grace Chapel Inn, and Jane's nemesis from high school, and it might just seem like this time the Howard sisters have bitten off more than they can chew.

However, God always has a plan, even in the stickiest of situations, and it was a pleasure getting to watch the Howard sisters navigate all the tough times by leaning on their faith, and trusting Him through everything. I appreciated how this particular title dived into some tougher issues, while still giving off all of the heartwarming vibes, and as always, it was a lovely escape from the stresses of everyday life.

This actually ended up being another one of my favorites from the series so far, and if you enjoy heartwarming Christian fiction then I'd definitely recommend this title to you.

Final Rating: 5/5.

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...
