And yes, yet again, Mrs. Rivers. You just can't beat a good page-turner with endearing characters that you love and hate, that also inspires you to pray, wait on God, and trust HIM to work.

Unspoken by Francine Rivers
Oh, Mrs. Rivers, you have done it again. I could not put this book down. It was a great story. It made the biblical account come alive. And it convicted me to trust God and be busy about studying and trusting him, like the Bathsheba in this story.

Unafraid by Francine Rivers
I confess that at first I thought "historical fiction" about the life of Mary would be quite cheesy, but needed to read *something.* Well, Francine Rivers, you have done it again. Her characterization and story-telling make the story worthwhile. And beyond that, I found it challenging to think of how Mary -and Jesus- lived. Mary learned to wait on God, to trust his plan even when she didn't understand it and it was different from her plan. Jesus spent his life figuring out and carrying out the will of the Father, completely selflessly. Wow. I enjoyed it. And will probably get another novella in the "Lineage of Grace" series shortly.
