MY THOUGHTS.....

I always enjoy viewing a new Bible, and this experience has been especially enlightening. The font of The Open Bible, NKJV is easy to read, the leather-soft cover and ribbon bookmark are visually appealing, and it is designed to lay flat. No more struggling with pages that won't stay put! It's also perfect for increasing your knowledge of God's Word. Study aids include a concordance, topical index, multiple charts, maps, and illustrations. Best of all, the words of Christ are shown in Red! This is truly an excellent Study Bible.






Many wonderful Bibles are available today but I always appreciate seeing the words of Jesus Christ written in RED!












Maps are always a plus! A Map of Jesus' Ministry is one of the eight  colored maps in this Bible, along with many charts and illustrations!










This is one of the many wonderful study aids to deepen my understanding of God's Word!
Others include The Parables of Jesus Christ, The Miracles of Jesus Christ, and A History of the Twelve Apostles.





Our former minister based his sermons on the NIV, but our new pastor prefers the NKJV, so this is the Bible I will carry to church from now on! Would you like to deepen your understanding of God's Word and enhance your devotion time? I recommend this 50th anniversary edition of The Open Bible, NKJV! It would also be a wonderful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or those special graduates in your life!

I received a copy from the publisher via FrontGate Women's Blogger Network. There was no obligation for a positive review.

Deadly Badlands Pursuit (Dakota K-9 Unit Book 2) by Sharee Stover

ABOUT THE BOOK


A K-9 team has a witness to defend…


and a murderer to track.

When Deputy US Marshal Gracie Fitzpatrick checks on a government witness, she unexpectedly walks into an ambush at Cameron Holmes’s ranch. She and her K-9 partner, Bane, fight off the assailant—but to protect Cameron, they must escape into South Dakota’s treacherous Badlands. Tracking dangerous enemies is what Gracie does, and Cameron’s life in witness protection has left targets on his back. With a killer waiting in the shadows, Gracie and Cameron must work fast to uncover the truth about who wants him dead…if they want to stay alive.


MY THOUGHTS.....


This riveting story, set in South Dakota's Badlands National Park, is filled with non-stop action, never-ending danger, and an unknown assailant who is always one step ahead of his prey. How much more can Gracie and Cameron endure?

Author Sharee Stover shares an emotionally charged thriller laced with sweet romance and an inspiring message of faith.  I was especially drawn to the unlikely alliance between Gracie, Cameron, and Gracie's special K9 partner, Bane. I recommend Deadly Badlands Pursuit to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.

She writes Christian romantic suspense combining heart-racing, nail-biting suspense and the delight of falling in love all in one.
