#afightstack24

blue books topped with white sparring gloves on wooden chair against white blanket

In honour of Becky's Bookshelves and her mission to raise awareness for childhood cancer research in memory of her son, Jonathan, here is #afightstack24 filled with blue books, topped with white sparring gloves.

For every #afightstack24 post shared, Becky's Bookshelves and Jerrye Bell will donate $1 each to CancerFree Kids. Information on how to participate can be found here. Books don't have to be blue and can point to heroic themes or characters who overcome adversity.

These are the books I chose to feature:

📘 Snowed in for Christmas by Gabrielle Meyer
📘 Fatherhood Lessons by Gabrielle Meyer
📘 The Soldier's Baby Promise by Gabrielle Meyer
📘 Second Chance Christmas by Betsy St. Amant
📘 The Baby Proposal by Gabrielle Meyer
📘 The Baby Secret by Gabrielle Meyer
📘 Their Holiday Secret by Betsy St. Amant
📘 Saving the Single Dad's Bookstore by Nicole Lam
📘 High as the Heavens by Kate Breslin
📘 The Ice Swan by J'nell Ciesielski
📘 Drawn by the Current by Jocelyn Green
📘 A Pursuit of Home by Kristi Ann Hunter
📘 Until Leaves Fall in Paris by Sarah Sundin
📘 To Write a Wrong by Jen Turano
📘 Positively, Penelope by Pepper Basham
📘 Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner
📘 Stay with Me by Becky Wade

I had a lot more blue books to pick from, along with white books, but it was getting to be quite long, so I had to refrain from making it a book tower 😄

All the Cheese

I've been coming across content within the past several weeks that has stereotyped Christian books (and other mediums) as being cheesy on Christian accounts. While this isn't a new label or even a new topic, what has surprised me somewhat has been seeing more Christian authors jump into this conversation who wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Although some authors will name others whom they believe are writing non-cheesy fiction, I feel as though the damage has been done by repeating this blanket statement. While readers have freely been engaging in this type of commentary for some time, it's been interesting to see authors chime in, where in some cases, there seems to be an emphasis on self-promotion over reflection. I'm not stereotyping and saying that all authors or even the authors I'm connected to respond with this tactic (because I really don't think they do!), but there are a few out there from my limited experience who seem to respond to this disc...

Review: A Garden Grows - Hills of Harvest #1

Just in time for the upcoming spring season, a new series launches today. A Garden Grows , the first book in the Hills of Harvest series by Karen Higgins , is one that will have you planning and desiring to plant the garden of your dreams once the weather clears up. It's a welcome reprieve after a time of dormancy, awakening the joy of seeing God's creation in all of its splendour. Many thanks to  Mountain Brook Ink  for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis One plucky widow, six scrubby acres, and an unlikely group of gardeners, all brought together by a long-ago promise. Fifty years is a long time to wait. Posey knows Elliot meant his promise, and oh, how he tried, but time and money didn’t grow on the sagebrush blanketing their high-desert land. Neither did life go exactly the way they planned. Now, Elliot is gone, the sound of his plea ringing in her ears ... “Build the garden, my love!” This English ga...

This list mostly applies to print and ebooks, although some publishers offer audiobooks as well. If further information is available for any of the publishers below (or any missing publishers), please let me know as I am happy to update this list—thank you! Please note that you can also search for these publishers on NetGalley and other review sites in case there are no review programs available or you don't qualify for one 😊 Christian Publishers B&H Publishing Group Previously offered the B&H/Lifeway Blogger program which has since closed Availability: Professors and instructors Link:  B&H Academic Book Requests Baker Publishing Group Availability: U.S. and Canadian residents Genre: Christian fiction, Christian non-fiction Imprints: Bet...
