good read

I love reading a good novel. I've already mentioned some of my favorites throughout some of my blogs. Recently, I brought up Francine Rivers' series Lineage of Grace. Excellent retellings of the Biblical accounts of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. I've also mentioned Rivers' Redeeming Love. I don't care if you are into fiction or not. That book is a MUST read. It's Rivers' statement of faith. Such a beautiful portrait of our Savior and His redemptive love for us.

Now I am also a big movie watcher. I love a good comedy or suspense/action movie. Especially when I watch those who-done-it types, I have a mental competition to try and figure it all out before anyone else. If you watch one of these with me I'd ruin it for you. That is probably why people won't go to the movies with me anymore.

I'm a big fan of the Bourne series or any other kind of high intensity action flicks that have me unknowingly biting my nails. That's what I loved about this next book on my list. It just so happens to be written by my very own cousin. You could say I am a little biased, but hey so what. That's what family is for.

The book is called Cursed Blessing by J.M. LeDuc and is the first in a trilogy. I am chomping at the bit waiting to read the next. He let me write a blurb for the book and this is the ad that showed up in Suspense Magazine.

I am so excited for him. I never knew he had such an imagination and ability to spin such an intricate story. I must say, I'm a little jealous. I tried writing a suspense once. Still have it on my flash drive. While reviewing it I realized I am just too soft to write with such edge. Maybe someday. But in the meantime read this book.
