Review: A Heart Most Faithful

A Heart Most Faithful book cover on blue background

As part of the Restful August Challenge, I'm delighted that I've been able to dive into a new Regency novella from Carolyn Miller, which is available for free. Not only is A Heart Most Faithful a great introduction to some of her historical series, but it also sets readers up for a new series to come!

Book Synopsis

A kiss, a dance, and a second chance...

After an embarrassing encounter in a London ballroom, Miss Anne Talbot has tried to put Lieutenant Peter Colborne far from mind. His behaviour, as inexplicable as it was reprehensible, has left her certain her fate is spinsterhood, and is determined to protect her all-too-eager younger sister from making a similar mistake. But when a family emergency demands she return with her mother and sister to their Leicestershire village, she is shocked to discover that perhaps Mr. Colborne hadn't forgotten her at all...

A brand new Regency novella involving second chances, glimpses of beloved characters, and an aspiring female novelist with an eye for romance.

Book Thoughts

What a precious novella where we get to meet Anne and Peter. I love their story and their desire to be faithful to God above all else. The words about how our hearts are fickle and can lead us astray indicate just how in tune they are to the Father's will, making this story both memorable and charming. I appreciate that both characters can admit to their faults as they acknowledge the past and look to the future with hope and love. If you're looking for a great introduction to the rest of Carolyn Miller's Regency books, A Heart Most Faithful sets the tone in welcoming readers to stories of faith where the presence of Jesus can be felt between the pages.

Review: This Isn't the Story I Wanted

I love that Kregel knows that I am Canadian and as such, have a heart for reading and promoting Canadian authors. I hadn't known that about Nicole Langman , so I'm grateful they brought it to my attention as I could relate to some of the terminology and examples she shares in This Isn't the Story I Wanted . This is one of those books where the title captures the emotions perfectly, and the content is as empathetic and understanding as I needed it to be for dealing with grief, loss, and pain. Many thanks to Kregel Publications for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Review: The Song of the Overcomer

Every once in a while, there is a book that comes along that will change your perspective on the most unexpected things. In this case, my view on birds has changed and I appreciate their variances and behaviour so much more now. Written as a spiritual allegory, I can see how The Song of the Overcomer by B.C. Penn also affords a fresh perspective on God's creation and it's something I can witness right from the window every day. Taking place over different times and seasons, this is a profound story about spiritual discernment and faith in God that Christians will enjoy reading and sharing. For more information on this book, make sure to check out the Digital Press Kit and explore the website for wonderful accompaniments to the book, including illustrations and devotionals. Many thanks to the author and media coordinator for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
