Review: Targeted Witness

Targeted Witness book cover on blue background

Targeted Witness by Jacqueline Adam was such a good distraction for me as I read this book in a hospital waiting room. If you're looking for a way to get your mind off waiting, reading about someone running for their life will help!

Book Synopsis

A witness under protection.

A serial killer out for revenge.

After the killer she identified finds her in witness protection, artist Cassie Whitfield must go on the run to avoid becoming the next victim. But there’s nobody she can trust—except her ex-boyfriend, former FBI agent Ryan Matherson, who doesn’t know her real identity. Now telling him the deadly truth is her only option if she wants to stay alive…

Book Thoughts

This book definitely lives up to being suspenseful, with action-packed content paired with a sweet romance. Just when there is a sense of how things will go one way, the book proves that it can go in any other direction. Jacqueline Adam's debut is a thrilling journey that captivates readers as they await the final outcomes for Cassie and Ryan. These characters with their past baggage grapple with their present and their future, and it is rewarding to see how God works in both of their lives as the case unfolds.

If you are looking for a riveting read that will keep you on your toes with an elaborate plot behind the suspense, Targeted Witness is right up that alley. I appreciated that the characters relied on God rather than anything they could do, and that there are pivotal moments where the Bible provides exactly what is needed as Cassie and Ryan try to figure out what's next. The phrase of twists and turns would certainly be an understatement for this book!

Christian vs. Clean

This is a theme that isn't new if you've been following some of my musings over the past several months. You could even say this is the natural progression of taking this line of thinking to its conclusion. In evaluating which books to read, the refrain of Christian vs. clean has become so ingrained in my thinking that it's practically been on repeat for me. To be honest, I've never really held a view on Christian vs. clean books until the end of last year. Most of my reading since becoming a Christian has been all over the place, where I believed that acquiring knowledge, almost any knowledge, was worth it for the sake of becoming more learned. Being a voracious reader meant that I would consume most anything—especially if it was free as I didn't have a lot of books growing up (my parents preferred to take me to the library on a weekly basis as I would have cost them too much in books 😂). However, God has definitely been impressing upon me the conviction that I ca...

Review: Introducing Christianity to Mormons

In reading books on comparative religious systems, I am struck by how necessary it is to clearly define terminology and theological concepts to avoid any misunderstandings. It is far too easy to believe that words have the same meaning when that is not the case at all. Any more than a cursory glance between biblical, historic Christianity and the beliefs of adherents to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will make it clear that using the same terms does not equate to them referencing the same things. Introducing Christianity to Mormons by Eric Johnson is an excellent resource for Christians that breaks down all of these stark differences. Note : The author has shared that the now-preferred full name of the LDS church is quite lengthy and cumbersome to repeat within the content, which is why the title is imperfect but the one that makes the most sense. Though "Mormon" appears to have now fallen out of favour—which seems to be quite a shift from their previous “I ...
