Favorite Book Friday

Leaving Oxford (Southern Hearts Series 1) by Janet W. Ferguson Christian romance. Real Christians who continue to make mistakes in their faith journey. Sarah Beth is agoraphobic; something I understand. Jess is a good man but knows he's missing something. I loved the book so much I bought the rest of the series. 

Going Up South (Southern Hearts Series 2) by Janet W. Ferguson Christian romance. I love how real her Christians are, struggling with practicing their faith. 

Tackling the Fields (Southern Hearts Series 3) by Janet W. Ferguson Christian romance. Another page-turning read. Janet tackles some tough subjects. Another keeper.

Blown Together (Southern Hearts Series 4) by Janet W. Ferguson Christian romance. Last book of this series. Sad to see it end. Laughed and cried and cheered. Satisfying. Janet is definitely on my Must Read List.

I had such hopes for July, and then I hit a paragraph that wasn't working. I've spent a week reworking it. I'm tempted to cut it, but it provides necessary information, so I'll keep working. God willing, I'll figure it out and move on to the next chapter and the next and the next...

Snob, as in thinking one's self superior, doesn't appear until 1911. It's original meaning, from 1781, was "a shoemaker, a shoemaker's apprentice." Not what I expected.

Sunday Scripture

Ruth 2:19

And her  mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest though? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.

All or Nothing Day

...is Sunday the 26th. Celebrate with a story.

All or Nothing

The tenth novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Secrets? Angela Goodrich owns a few. Moving to Holiday is her dream come true. As Holiday Sweets' new manager, she wants a fresh start even as she wants to share the truth of who she is. Will she still be welcomed?

Anger issues? Caleb Bronson denies it despite the fact he'd like to throttle his EMT partner's new fiancé for wronging his sister. What does it matter if his anger is dominating his life and spills over on the attractive and newest resident of Holiday?

The truth will set you free, if you're willing to endure the discomfort of letting go of the lies. God knows the pain hidden in the soul anyway...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7MZC9M/ref=sr_1_1

Mindset doesn't appear until 1916, so I'll have to use mood, which appears as early as c. 1300.
