This book will definitely step on some readers’ toes. I’ve always heard that a good sermon or a good book on how to be a proper Christian will step on your toes. That’s not always a good thing.

Autopsy of a Deceased Church by Thom S. Rainer

I'll be honest, there is plenty of sexual tension between Catalina and Valeryn, but there was also a story line being carried out beyond the sexual tension. Pirates have long been a favorite thing of mine to read about when ... Read the Post...
