Welcome to Day #3 of the Five Fall Favorites party! Today we're shouldering our bags and heading back to the lake, but this time, instead of sitting on the benches, we'll be riding the boats. The water is calm and inviting, and I think we'll have a great time. Don't forget your books and jackets! While the sun may be shining, the air is still nippy.
Today's genre is medical in honor of all the first responders and the assistance they've given during this 2019-20 Corona pandemic. What qualifies for this genre, you ask? Any book where one of the main characters is in the medical profession. :D Soooo, my top five . . .
CHICKEN CHORES AND OPEN DOORS
I've grown up on books from Rod & Staff publishers, and this one is high on my list of favorites. :D It follows Paul's life from childhood to adult life, continually points to Christ, and is capable of sending both tingles of delight and shivers of anticipation down one's spine.
FREEDOM
I first read this book back in September of 2019 and LOVED it. Find my review HERE.
GIFT FROM THE STORM
A rollercoaster of emotions here!! So many twists and turns and "What on earth??" moments. (and I must admit, I was so NOT expecting the ending!) Best of all, Rebekah does an amazing job of keeping her readers focused on Christ throughout every one of her books. <3
HUDSON TAYLOR
Anybody else just love Janet and Geoff's missionary stories?? Especially when they're about the people who've inspired you the most, like Hudson Taylor - a doctor, father, and friend serving in the mission field he felt called by God to minister at.
NEVER SAY GOODBYE
I read this series completely out of order, starting with #2 (Never Say Goodbye, which I wrote a review for HERE) and ending with #1 (Live Without You). xD Either way, I enjoyed it, and I look forward to seeing more from Miss Grzy in the future!
Okay, it's time for us to turn our boats around and head back to shore, so I had best draw this post to a close. Again, be sure to visit Rebekah's blog, dawdle around the other vast acres at the Lodge, and enter the giveaway! I'll see you guys tomorrow, Lord willing!
Blessings,
Ellen S.
