Product Review

Good morning!! I absolutely love my deep sink in our house but it gets so scratched up. I’ve tried the scrubber part of the sponge and magic eraser with kitchen spray and I’ve gotten it only a bit better than the left photo. I tried a new product and I’m hooked with the amazing results I got that I just had to share. (First photo-before; second photo-after soaking; third photo-after being drained and wiped with light pressure)

Too Far Down by Mary Connealy




Image of Too Far Down (The Cimarron Legacy)

TOO FAR DOWN

Author(s): 
Connealy opens her third and final installment of the Cimarron Legacy series with a bang — four consecutive explosions to be exact. This final installment ties everything up nicely; not only the mystery in this book but also the ongoing mystery from the prior two books, too. In this page-turner we encounter distrust, contemplation, discovery and a re-awareness of God's blessings. Characters from the past two books make appearances as do characters from the author’s other series. Recommended for those who enjoy a fast, smart historical-set suspense.
Cole is the oldest of the Boden children and is not only in charge of his family's mining company, CR Mining, but he also feels responsible for helping his brother and sister take care of the family ranch while their father is away recovering from a planned "accident." More people die and Cole is determined to finally discover who is behind all the terrors his family has faced. First, he must make sure the mine is covered. Cole's longtime neighbor Melanie Blake has offered to help fill the mine vacancies until the danger has passed. They discover a surprising fact that could put them in even more danger. Will they find the culprit before another "accident" occurs? (BETHANY HOUSE, Oct., 320 pp., $14.99)

Third Strand of the Cord by Catherine Richmond


Third Strand of the Cord

4.8 out of 5 stars
Third Strand of the Cord: A Novel of Love in Liberty by [Richmond, Catherine]An amazingly refreshing, original novel unlike anything I've read. Hilariously entertaining and really sucks you in by giving you the characters thoughts in a way that most Christian authors don't but that in real life, we have even when we shouldn't. We see the struggle to rely on God and how he overcomes all and how God uses other people to shine His light when there is darkness and confusion.

Caroline, a Ford Motors Engineer and single mother, has a difficult, energetic, 7 year old son with Down Syndrome who had left her husband when he attempted to strangle her 2 months after the baby's birth due to his handicap. Mr. Lee is a homeless karate instructor who works with homeless shelters, disabled kids and others and feels that you need to parent with a firm hand, even though he has no children of his own. When the father runs for office, he tries to make Caroline look like a kidnapper and receive custody over the son he never wanted. Will Caroline join forces with Lee before she loses her son and possibly her life or will she shelter herself from further heartbreak?

Love's Sacrifice by Kelsey Norman




LOVE'S SACRIFICE

Author(s): 
Image of Love's Sacrifice (Mystic Hope Book 2)
Norman begins this sequel with a bang and keeps the fast pace until the end. Heart-pounding violent dreams plague our main character. Norman write great descriptive scenes that come to life, and characterization that leaves you with a clear character voice. Written in the first-person limited point of view with italic thoughts throughout, this is an outstanding Christian paranormal romance. Discretion is advised due to violence. While this book can be read as a stand-alone novel, you get a better experience after having read the first book. Recommended for fans of romance with a paranormal twist.
Nina Anderson is lucky to be alive after the abuse of her boyfriend, who tried to kill her. He was killed at the end of the first book, but Nina is haunted by dreams of him.

Will Liam be able to figure it out before it’s too late? (MOUNTAIN BROOK INK, dl $2.99)
