A great companion book for reading the Bible is 66 Love Letters by Larry Crabbe. Really gives such insight!<br />Blessings to you!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-10181854858896425782013-09-23T05:29:30.676-07:002013-09-23T05:29:30.676-07:00Congratulations Martha!

I'm getting more excited as I hear many wonderful compliments on your trilogy ~ oh what joy! <br /><br />I love that everyday the Lord reveals something new to me to ponder on and to act upon in His words... 'Devour' ~ that's how I'd describe it ~ not just read and digest but really taste it for God's Words are very rich and uplifting ~ engaging, yes!<br /><br />I continually pray with you dear friend ~ may we come to know Jesus through His Words and develop a personal relationship with Him and may we grow more in love with Him each day ~ Love you Martha! You continue to be His light :)<br /><br />Melissa Tandochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747825707650125721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-80188614771923766562013-09-22T15:35:08.047-07:002013-09-22T15:35:08.047-07:00That's wonderful, Martha.

I don't think most people understand how much effort it takes to write a novel, how much courage it takes to go through the publishing process, how my strength is required to endure reading the reviews, the energy needed to keep writing, and the faith to believe. You're dream is only starting, don't stop believing (as if you ever would).brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480258485472568272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-47965414486297195442013-09-21T13:28:57.571-07:002013-09-21T13:28:57.571-07:00Martha - Congrats on the well-deserved book review...Martha - Congrats on the well-deserved book review! And for telling stories which resonate with people. I am reading the Bible the first time through so every story and passage has been new to me. My journey to the scriptures started with the Psalms which are so moving and inspiring! I have a feeling this story is going to influence and impact me the rest of my life:) Vishnuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170477648908809386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-11593607195226245752013-09-21T10:19:20.001-07:002013-09-21T10:19:20.001-07:00I know, Irene, it WAS such an amazing compliment f...I know, Irene, it WAS such an amazing compliment from Mary.

The more I reread some of the passages, the better my understanding becomes. Rereading the Scriptures for me is the same as being with God over and over again, and I guess you really need to be with someone often in order to get to know him/her.<br /><br />Wonderful reflections, Martha! Wishing you the best in all your endeavors! Much love and God bless! <3 :-)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328342211129410370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-48296277183772410322013-09-21T04:48:44.156-07:002013-09-21T04:48:44.156-07:00Some stories, some characters always stay with us....Some stories, some characters always stay with us...either, they mirror a part of us or make us be a part of them.
