Our Mission www.christiansread.wordpress.com
We are Christians who both read and write Christian fiction. The goal for our blog is to talk about the books we read and write and to speak openly about our spiritual journeys. We want to read, write and grow together. B
You’re as apt to read a review or comments on a book– fiction or non-fiction–as you are to read a devotional or inspiring quote or challenge about daily Christian life in our posts. On weekends, we post about writing. Our hope is in sharing, interacting, and discussing act, discuss matters of importance to us, to encourage, and lift spirits.

THE MARKED BRIDE In Seagrove Village, former Shadow Watcher, Tim, receives a stunning text from his ex-fiancé, Mandy, on their secure phone. She’s in trouble and needs help. Against objections—she’d broken their engagement to marry another man—Tim responds, and discovers NINA, Nihilists in Anarchy, an international terrorist group the Shadow Watchers have faced before, is after the team again. This time, through Mandy. The breakup had devastated Tim, but what he discovers now forces him to work with Mandy to reveal yet another layer of operatives in the NINA organization. A layer A that, for Mandy, strikes close to home and makes her The Marked Bride. Few are who they seem. Facts are mercurial. And even those fighting this enemy on the Shadow Watchers’ side are withholding vital information that endangers all the Shadow Watchers’ lives, leaving Tim and Mandy wondering. Can they reveal the truth and protect the nation’s interests? Can the team succeed at fighting the enemy and its own side? When all is done, who will survive? And of the survivors, if Tim and Mandy are among them, will they stand together or be robbed of their future once again and be forced apart forever?

THE RANCHERO’S LOVE She is running from her past… from the love she can't have…from the inescapable horror of her future. Rosalinda knows she will never escape her past, both the choices forced on her and the mistakes she's made. She longs to find a place to live in peace-where she can learn to mother her children and where Lucio Armenta won't be a constant reminder of the love she can never have. She doesn't count on her inability to avoid the ranchero, or the threats to her children and the burgeoning fear A she has for them. Lucio wants to marry. However, Rosalinda, the only woman he's ever been attracted to, doesn't meet the ideals he's set for his future wife. When he discovers she, and her adorable brood, are accompanying him as he delivers horses and goods to his sister and brotherin-law, he objects. An objection that is overruled. He resolves to keep his distance as much as possible. A resolution he finds impossible to keep.

THEN CAME LOVE In Then Came Love, Louise M. Gouge has masterfully woven unforgettable characters into a tale of forgiveness and grace that will touch your heart and keep you thinking long after you have turned the final page. Set during the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War, the message of this story remains significant today. Judith Miller, best-selling author of the Home to Amana series and The Brickmaker’s Bride. Louise M. Gouge made me care deeply about all her characters from the first page. I began reading Then Came Love and was pulled in and couldn’t look away as the story unfolded with Gouge’s trademark captivating, heart-wrenching human drama. So wonderful, gripping, and engrossing! Mary Connealy, author of Tried and True. Love does not seek what it can get but what it can give, which is everything. “And now abideth faith, hope, A and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” I Corinthians 13:13 (KJV) Louisa Maria Downs has waited three long years for her soldier-sweetheart’s homecoming. But when he returns, John Jacobs stands aloof, his deep blue eyes revealing his longing for her, but his lips strangely silent. Convinced it is God’s will for them to marry, Louisa defies decorum and pursues the man who has owned her heart since she was twelve years old. John Jacobs has spent three years fighting to keep the Union intact. Now back home, he longs to marry the young woman he has admired since boyhood. But shattering memories of what he did during the war magnify the bloodstains on his hands. He awakens each day more certain than ever that he is not worthy of the love of a decent woman, much less the love of God. Torn apart by the Civil War, two young couples find restoration through love, grace, and forgiveness.
