Review: The Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson

About the book:

Marie Carrington is broke, desperate, and hoping to find sanctuary on Prince Edward Island while decorating a renovated bed-and-breakfast. Seth Sloane moved three thousand miles to help restore his uncle's Victorian B and B--and to forget about the fiancée who broke his heart. He wasn't expecting to have to babysit a woman with a taste for expensive antiques and a bewildering habit of jumping every time he brushes past her.

The only thing Marie and Seth agree on is that getting the Red Door Inn ready to open in just two months will take everything they've got--and they have to find a way to work together. In the process, they may find something infinitely sweeter than they ever imagined on this island of dreams.

Review:  

Children of God is a very nice worship album. I like all of the songs, although there are a few standout favorites: My All In All, Better Than Life, Your Love Awakens Me, Stand In Awe, and As It Is In Heaven. The lyrics are fantastic and the music is very catchy. Phil Wickham has a unique voice and you can hear his genuineness in the words he's singing.

All in all, I love this album and recommend it if you are looking for a good Christian/worship album. And if you've liked previous Phil Wickham CDs, I think you'll for sure enjoy this one too!

Review: Chopsticks by Sandra Byrd

About the book:

Two girls each have friends, family, and crushes rooting for them. But they can't both win - someone must lose and disappoint those counting on her.

Paige Winsome has always been in the shadow of her athletic brother and academic sister and, as a result, is often overlooked. She's committed money to helping stray animals before they are put down - money she does not now have.

Kate Kennedy, a pastor's daughter and only child, receives plenty of praise and attention for her voice, but her family struggles to make ends meet and must constantly accept others' charity - and put downs. She agreed to buy Christmas gifts for needy kids who will get nothing otherwise, but needs the funds to buy them.

No sooner do Paige and Kate meet and become fast friends than they discover they're competing for the same $400 singer/songwriter prize. Each girl sees this contest as an answer to her problem. Can their fast friendship survive the stress of competition? After all, only one can win ...
