I’m eagerly awaiting it!<br /><br />@ Alicia – glad to hear that I wasn’t just being nit-picky. The characters were amazing, as was the culture. And “Monster” is a book I just got my brother for Christmas! I haven’t read Peretti, but he likes him.<br /><br />@ Betty – thanks for commenting!<br /><br />@ English Mysteries – Oh. You *so* should watch the series! I really like it. ;)<br /><br />@ Phyllis – you’re welcome! Thanks for the encouragement. Great first line!<br /><br />@ Jewels – that sounds very interesting! What a neat story.<br /><br />@ Anneliese – thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />@ Salinn – the last episode? That’s such a spoiler. ;) But I liked watching the entire series too.<br />Amanda Terohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755627165871110818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081546722279849822.post-16653170897734154402017-12-23T19:52:18.996-06:002017-12-23T19:52:18.996-06:00Sounds good!

I woke at sunrise to the sound of babies crying and children laughing and running up and down stairs to fetch water from the well." ~At Any Cost, by Mike and Hayley Jones. <br />This is a book I am reading about the authors' journey of adopting 8 siblings from Sierra Leone. I'm really enjoying it so far!

I think your points are quite relevant and your concerns are about important things.<br /><br />My first line comes from Deborah Raney’s Circle of Blessings:<br /><br />Dakota Territory, 1864<br /><br />It was almost closing time, and in all of his seventeen years, James Collingwood could not remember being so bone-weary as he felt tonight.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Phyllis @ Among the Readshttp://amongthereads.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081546722279849822.post-52820479222800686662017-12-22T12:09:10.306-06:002017-12-22T12:09:10.306-06:00I read the When Calls the Heart series years ago--...I read the When Calls the Heart series years ago--love Janette Oke--but I haven't watched the series yet.

I really enjoyed a lot of the story, but, like you, I felt that the characters' relationship with God (esp. salvation-wise) was a bit too "fuzzy" for me. I loved the characters themselves, though ~ so well-drawn and convincing ~ and I loved experiencing the different American cultures throughout the book!<br /><br />Over on my blog, I'm featuring Monster by Frank Peretti, but over here, I'll share the first line of another on my TBR pile, The Cottage by Michael Phillips: "The letter two weeks before had been brief. Less than half a page. Yet in an instant it had turned her life upside down."Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778976206673302782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081546722279849822.post-4301010426855593152017-12-22T09:50:55.157-06:002017-12-22T09:50:55.157-06:00I read this one :).
