Save the Date by Jenny B. Jones

This is a story of a young woman struggling to fund her non profit young woman's home and the surprising way she manages to keep it afloat. This book was a just for fun read that I totally enjoyed and am so glad I got it. It was just the book to sit back and relax with. This is a romance that is clean and positive, I felt comfortable allowing my ten year daughter to read it as well. It has quite a bit of humor that kept her drawn into the story. She enjoyed sharing the funny tidbits with her siblings once she was finished with it. Margaret and I agreed that we didn't think the cover picture fit the character or book, so don't judge the book by it's cover :)
Although Save the Date is a romance that was a lot of fun to read, it also had a good message about contentment, grace, forgiveness and how much we need Christ in our lives.
Words to describe this book could be: energetic, surprising, uplifting, perky, and captivating. So if you have some time to relax you would enjoy this book.

I have recently had the pleasure of reviewing another book for Booksneeze. The book: Voices of the Faithful, Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving around the World compiled by Kim Davis and Beth Moore. This book was put together as a daily reading devotional with a verse, a short story, and a prayer on each page. At the end of each story it tells the missionaries name or initials and the country in which they were serving when this story occurred. Occasionally the days go together but usually they are unrelated and by different missionaries. Between each month is a longer devotional or challenge by Beth Moore. At the very end of the book there are a few pages set aside to help you and your church find ways to be more involved in mission work by more active prayer or the many other ways you too can serve. It is a very enjoyable, and touching read.
