Review: In This Moment - Timeless #2

In This Moment book cover on blue background

It's a strange conundrum where I know that anything in the Timeless series by Gabrielle Meyer will blow my socks off, yet I know the feeling of being bereft as soon as a title is finished. That may be a tiny reason why I've drawn this series out as much as I can because each book has sent me for a (good) wallop! In This Moment carries on with the same feelings I had after When the Day Comes, so now I know I'm in for another transformational reading experience as the series progresses.

Book Synopsis

Maggie inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night, she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives--and everyone she knows in them--forever.

In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of a senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she joins a hospital ship going to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon.

While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era, only complicating the impossible decision she must make, which looms ever closer. With so much on the line, how can Maggie choose just one life to keep and the rest to lose?

Book Thoughts

I feel like with the Timeless series by Gabrielle Meyer, everything that needs to be said has already been said by other reviewers. Is this one of the most unique series out there in Christian fiction? Yes. Do the twists and turns keep readers engaged until the very last page? Most definitely. More importantly, does Christian faith in the characters' lives permeate the story so much that there is no way for God to be absent? Of course. All of this has made it such a blessing and joy to continue reading this series.

In This Moment is not an exception as it provides even more variety through three different timelines. It is wildly creative, heartbreakingly poignant as three critical eras in American history are explored, and it is deeply touching as it is easy to love the characters in each time period. Though I tried to savour this book as much as I could, in the end, I found that I just could not put it down. As things started becoming more clear, I loved how everything came together to form a magnificent picture of Maggie's lives. Readers who are already familiar with this series will enjoy seeing America in a new light while glimpsing the powerful truths behind God's grace and our free will in a more profound way.

Review: The Marriage Goal - The Reluctant Romantics #4

As one of my favourite series that I've read over the past year,  The Reluctant Romantics series  keeps knocking it out of the park with each new release. The Marriage Goal by Morgan Taylor Giesbrecht is a book you'll want to enjoy with Christmas around the corner, filled with plenty of literature-infused banter and heartwarming moments along the way. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis To love and to cherish, until death or visa fraud do us part. Juliet: Taking a job as the Caldwell Chargers' new legal counsel was a calculated risk of pros and cons.

Review: Anytime - Mayberry University #3

This is it! Anytime by Kristina Welch  is the third book in the Mayberry University series where we get to encounter students with a heart for Jesus and a passion to serve Him wherever He calls them. In this opposites attract new adult romance, we meet Janie and Mav who are like day and night in their personalities and temperaments in every way, except in their love for God. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of:  While Anytime could be read as a standalone, this is a heads up that there is a lot of terminology that is dependent on the previous books, especially around the university itself with all of the lingo and the nicknames for the characters. A man's shirt is also removed and there is talk of skimpy clothing. Book Synopsis Rigid productivity queen,  meet prank-loving chaos monger. Can he wait for God to lead the way? Can she stop trying to map it all out...

Review: The Echoes of Eden

Readers looking for a book that asks questions about the origin of the world and its intended culmination will find much to ruminate on in The Echoes of Eden by R.J. Stevens . It is a philosophical and theological treat to think through the Christian worldview in this ordered and sequential analysis that moves from Genesis to Revelation.  Ideal for personal study or group study, there is a devotional component to this book that allows readers to dive into the material more deeply. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Please note that the author of this work has the same name as another author of romance novels, but are two different people. Book Synopsis "Before you were born, the Echoes of Eden were calling your name." In an age where truth feels negotiable, goodness subjective, and purpose self-constructed, we still sense a quiet longing for a world that was once whole and coherent. The...
