I received these Gospels as a gift for Christmas. Already, the book has proved itself a beautiful resource and addition to the family life. The best aspect of the book is that it lends itself to frequent reading. I look forward to praying with the gospels more often and using it for lectio divina.

What a wonderful reading treat! This book is like freshly baked bread--I can grab little pieces while on the go, but I definitely kept coming back for more. This book became my go-to read this past week while my schedule was heavy and I needed to fit reading in wherever I could manage. The only disappointment in reading these stories is that I never wanted to stop! So much fun, and I loved the way I kept thinking about the characters long after the last sentence. For me, that's always is a big hoped-for experience--when I start thinking later about what happens to the characters later. The variety was excellent as well--a true smorgasbord of terrific short story reads.

Super sleuths and food!  Two of my favorite things to read about! The author needs go include some recipes at the end of her books!  Good character build-up and a story that grabs you from beginning to end! Sure kept me guessing!

Quick reading, attention grabbing stories that I hated to put down. The stories are well written with engaging characters that make a person want to read the next, then the next, then the next!

I was so happy to pick up this book as lately it seems as though everyone is writing sell-help book and I just wanted a book that will take me into a different world and dream a little and this book offered just that! If you are looking for a book to read this spring to relax and have a good time in fantasy land, this is a must read! I believe "Unexpected Friends" although written for a younger audience is applicable to every age and has a lesson to learn for all ages! Turner did a wonderful job captivating the reader's attention and this book can be read in one sitting! Great read!

I've loved listening to these books. The readers are well chosen, bringing another level of enjoyment. I've always loved reading, but life intrudes. This is a way to "read" while attending to life.

There are two ways I enjoy reading a new book.  I can either read a little at a time, savoring each chapter individually in an effort to prolong the pleasure.  Or I can sit down and read the whole thing in a weekend, choosing not to tear myself away from an immersive experience in a fascinating world.

I happened to receive my copy of Ordination during a very busy time.  I would use the book as my reward (bribing myself?).  "When I finish this paperwork, I'll read a chapter."  "After I finish the dishes, I'll read a chapter."  In this way, I read the first 21 chapters of the book.  Today, however, I happened to be free.  I finished the remaining 19 chapters.  While I was sad to see the book end, I know that the adventure is far from over.

Daniel M. Ford has shown a real understanding of people.  Each of his characters is well developed and has his own way of speaking, his own sense of humor (or lack thereof), and his own way of moving.  I can see the way each dismounts a horse!  As this is the first book in a trilogy, not all backstory has been revealed, but it is evident from tone of voice and facial expression that each character does, indeed, have a past and unique world view.

I find myself inspired by the Mother's Servants.  Each does his best to try to follow the Goddess to the best of his ability.  In a world that is often dark and critical of others, Ordination encourages me to try to see the light.

I'm looking forward to Stillbright next year.  I can't wait to see what awaits Allystaire and his companions.  In the meantime, I'm going to reread Ordination!

Captivating and entertaining! Raven's Peak will thrill and inspire readers of all ages, bringing them into a mysterious world of heroes and dark magic! I highly recommend picking up a copy to anyone looking for a new book. The writing is great and the characters are even better! By the end of the book I felt like the characters were old friends of mine. I can't wait to see where the next book brings them!

I found this a extreme joy in reading. Not just one but multiple main characters in play. The reading was easy yet captivating enough to not want you to put the book down. I am eagerly looking for others writings from the author.

It's the kind of book I like to read before bedtime. I set out to read a chapter, but before I know it, I've read half of the book! The characters are endearingly charming and Kenna's world is vividly imagined. Looking forward to the next book!

This will be a book I know that will devour my weekend and that's a great thing!  After having stopped reading after a graduate program took the love of reading away from me; I know have a new reason to start reading again.  This book had me after the first page and I can't put it down!
