What a beautiful and heart warming collection of stories about God's creatures.  I especially love that they are told from the cat's point of view and the points made at the end of each chapter are wonderful.  If you currently or have ever cared for a kitty cat, you will love this book.

Megan's Way by Melissa Foster is one of the most wonderfully written and lovely books that I have read! A beautiful and heart warming story of a Mother and her Daughter and the extraordinary relationship they have. A story about life long and real friendships that defy time. Megan's Way will make you laugh and cry and be amazed all at the same time. I fell in love with all the characters and the way their lives intermingle with each other is beautiful.

I loved this book and would recommend it to all readers, you will not be able to put it down. Thank you Melissa Foster for writing such a captivating and lovely book!!

I needed a heart warming book and hoped that "Heaven is for Real" would be the right book. Not only is this book heart warming, it was a pleasure to read.  Charming and faith fulfilling.  I'm getting several copies to share with friends and family!

A chance encounter between Witch Betsi and Fairy Sultana is the start of a beautiful story about friendship, persistence, accepting ourselves as we are and seeing only the best in others. The text is crafted in a lovely manner. This book is a real joy to read out loud. The full page colourful illustrations are just great. At first I was a bit surprised because the book is a paperback in a larger format than most children's books. But in the end I like it,it makes reading with two kids a lot easier and they love searching the illustrations for all the little details. A great heart-warming read!

This book has beautiful illustrations as well as a lovely story.  It's hard to find Christmas stories that aren't all about Santa and being good or are complete nonsense.  Here we have a well written story about how Santa became Santa . He tells it from a Gospel perspective reminding the reader about the true meaning of Christmas.  Everything Santa talks about in this fantastic story points the reader back to Jesus.

In addtion to the phenomenal story are the beautiful illustrations on each page.  I would buy this book just for that.  They are exquisitely drawn on each page.  Breathtakingly beautiful seems to simple a description of them.

If you are looking for a heart warming Christmas book then I highly suggest this one.  I will be buying copies for all the families in my life to share this Christmas.  This book is a must have addition to your Christmas library.

I received this book for free in exchange for a review on my blog.  I was not required to write one for here but loved the book so much that I wanted to share with everyone.

This beautiful and romantic story is suitable for any age and anyone who knows or wants to understand true, endearing love. It is so rare to read a novel that is absent of vulgarity! So refreshing to use your own imagination based upon the beautifully written text! I wish now that I had not given 5 stars out before, because this outshines them all.  I hated to have the book end, which it did perfectly.

A Love Surrendered by Julie Lessman is one of the most beautiful, inspiring novels I've ever read. I was sucked into the O'Connor's world ever since reading A Passion Most Pure only a few months ago, my heart racing with hope and joy from the beginning all the way to the end. And boy does A Love Surrendered come through with an endearing ending to the story of a family that has touched my heart unlike any other series has before.

A Love Surrendered, for me, taught a lesson that it isn't until we surrender our hearts to the Lord that we can truly have blessings in life. Living the way we want doesn't bring the right kind of joy, and trying to run from God in pursuit of more can't fulfill the longings of our hearts either. As I read this book, I got an in depth look at how beautiful it really is to see someone living for God. Annie had the ability to stand up for what she believed in...even if it meant letting go of the man she had fallen desperately in love with. I admire that quality and just by reading Julie's book, I have been inspired to do the same thing.

I loved getting to "hang out" with some of my other favorite characters as well! Steven O'Connor has always been a mystery to me, but having now read this book, I can honestly say that he has become my absolute favorite out of all of Marcy and Patrick's children. I was swept off my feet by his charms in the beginning (definitely not blaming Annie for falling as hard as she did), and by chapter 14 I was dancing around my room, so happy to see him finally come to Jesus! His bad boy veneer didn't fool me for a second, I knew God would get to him sooner or later. And I'm so happy that He did!

Annie was a refreshing character, bringing me back to memories of A Passion Most Pure, and how Faith was so strong in her convictions and morals. I absolutely loved that she was paired with Steven, they fit each other so well. A Love Surrendered painted a picture of a beautiful love story, showing the ups and downs of love and the fight to stay pure and innocent. I think this is an extremely important lesson for today...one that definitely needs to be pushed up front. Annie's love for God and strong faith in Him ultimately helped her to love Steven, and in the end was key in turning his life around. This is definitely what I expect from a Julie Lessman book, lots of passion and love for God, and she hasn't disappointed me yet!

I give this book five stars and two thumbs up! Even though I will miss this beautiful and funny family, I can't wait to see what Julie's got up her sleeve next! If you've never read any for yourself and are interested in some good passionate, Christian fiction...don't hesitate...you won't regret it!
