About the Book:

God tells the Sun to Shine is a short story about ambition, love, intrigue and forgiveness. The main character is the second-born of twin boys Esau and Jacob. Jacob struggles to come to terms with the privileges that the natural birth order accords the first-born twin Esau. He becomes so obsessed with the desire to become the alpha male in the family enterprise that he plots with their mum to upstage Esau. Although his plan succeeds, he is forced to flee the homeland after Esau plots to kill him in retaliation. For two decades, his life in exile is marked by turmoil in love, marriage and work. When a business arrangement goes pear shaped and he is faced with bankruptcy and the loss of his family, he decides instead to return to his country and face his nemesis - Esau. How will Jacob manoeuvre his way through the ordeal?

Introducing the Grace of God!

Grace of God


Purchase the movie here: Wal-Mart

About the movie:
Releases on DVD March 24, 2015
99 Minutes // Genre: Family, Inspirational // Rating: NR

Having lost his faith many years ago, Detective Bill Broadly is called to investigate the disappearance of the local church’s collection plate. As he questions its various church members, rumors swirl as more congregants learn about the theft. When one unexpected church-goer confesses to stealing the funds, the confession resurrects Broadly’s views on God, and helps him see that through faith and belief there really is rebirth and redemption.

I received a complimentary copy from Dove.org for the purpose of review. The following review is my honest opinion and has in no way been influenced by the company.

Grace of God the title alone is powerful. It leads the viewer to believe the following movie is going to be an incredible story about God's amazing grace.  This movie certainly does not disappoint. When $30,000 goes missing from a local church, they hire an atheist private investigator to find the money. Now as a viewer that sent up a red flag to me. Why would a church hire someone who is so against God and anything Christian to do anything for them let alone find stolen money? Seems like a bad idea, right? But then I thought about it, why not? What a great way for God to reach someone who has rejected Him by exposing him to the very thing he needs--plant  the seed.
This movie spins a tale that not only entertains but draws the audience in. Before long it'll have you trying to figure out who took the money and why. It will have you despises some characters while feeling sorry for others. The cliffhanger of the whole movie will cause you to rewind the movie and go back to make sure you saw right. The thief is NOT who you think it is. The most amazing thing is the message behind the whole movie ~ God's amazing grace. We are all sinners, but when we confess our sins to God and ask for forgiveness, God will forgive us each and every time no matter what it is that we've done. So awesome! This movie will have you thinking and stirring up some things within yourself and have you talking to God. It is amazing what God can reveal to you through a movie. 

The actors and actresses did an amazing job portraying their roles. They were so believable which makes you realize this could happen anywhere. It made me wonder if my own church would handle things in a similar way. 

I definitely recommend watching this movie with your family and discussing it afterwards. This would also make a great movie to show at a church function. So powerful. I give this movie 5 stars out of a total of 5 stars.

Sarah Anne's Expedient Marriage By Cathy Lynn Bryant & Jessica M. Dorman
Amazon Buy Button

About the Book:

Knowing he was about to die, Sarah Anne’s beloved father had arranged for her to marry Alexander Swyndhurst II. Alexander, a recent widower, had no intention of taking another wife; but after learning the young woman’s situation—that she had been the object of at least one man’s unwanted attentions, and that she would soon be left alone and unprotected—he had agreed to the marriage. He had one stipulation, however: He and Sarah Anne would live separately—he in Bristol, England, and she in Amesbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Sarah Anne had agreed wholeheartedly with this arrangement. Will Alexander have a change of heart? What of the dangerous man from her past? What will happen while her husband is away—leaving her alone with only the servants? Even though there are connections, each novel in the series may be read as a stand-alone.

However, there is one waitress at The Grind coffee shop with a cute smile and kind eyes who doesn’t seem to think he is as invisible as he likes to think he is. Can reality with her ever hope to match the fantasy world where his imagination has him living?
