"A Very Blessed Christmas Coloring Book" by Robin Mead

My Thoughts...

If you are into the Christmas season and love coloring then you have come to the right place where you have a 'Christmas themed with scriptures. I loved the 'inspirational Bible scriptures' that really goes along so well with this holiday. This author gives some really neat drawing featuring the 'reason for the season and the birth of Christ.' You will get a little bit of it all from 'Christmas trees, candy canes, the nativity scene, beautiful angels, doves, candles, hot cocoa, carolers, snowflakes, fireplaces and even the cross.' There were also a bonus of Christmas craft cutouts that you can do so many things with like...ornaments, tags for gifts and so much more. I am sure anyone even the children can find something that they will be interested in that will certainly get you into the spirit of this holiday season. So, get ready to relax, sit back and get your crayons and/or colored pens ready for some wonderful coloring!

I received the novel from NetGallery in return for my honest opinion.

"The Other Side of Divine" by Vanessa Davis Griggs

"Full of crazy church politics and a huge cast, Griggs keeps this on-going story alive by addressing the challenges of living by Biblical rules with homespun humor." --Publishers Weekly Paris Simmons-Holyfield is finally pregnant with the baby she's dreamed of for so long. There's just one complication: she's not sure who the father is. Apparently, after a night of drinking with her ex-coworker and ally Darius Connors, it could be him. Considering her husband's track record, chances are it is. Still, Paris prays it's not Darius, and decides to keep quiet about her worries. Especially because Darius isn't ready to give up on his crumbling marriage...

Meanwhile, after a battle to keep her adopted daughter and an ugly confrontation with Paris's family, Gabrielle Mercedes has finally found love and happiness. But when her father shows up, paroled from prison, she fears she's in for another round of trouble. As all three navigate the path from sin to redemption, can they forgive their way to the other side?"

What I enjoyed about "The Other Side of Divine"....


This was another great read from this author...which was a continuation of 'The Other Side of Dare' novel and with the ending of this novel gives us a good ending.  The characters... Gabrielle,  Miss
Crowe along with many others really gave this series  and us the readers a wonderful amazing read. 

I loved how this author gives the reader a knowledgeable scripture before each   chapter only  delivering to her readers a wonderful novel that give us the 'Word of God' ... through 'Strongholds, forgiveness, faithfulness, resisting temptation to love  dedication  and respect.' 


I would like to thank this author for such a wonderful spiritual read.

"The Other Side of Dare by Vanessa Davis Griggs

In a powerful new inspirational novel in the Blessed Trinity series, the award-winning author of "Redeeming Waters" weaves the compelling story of a family threatened by a shocking secret.

What I truly enjoyed from the read: The Other Side of Dare...

This was another one of this author's great Christian  novels.  It holds to the saying:  " that what is done in the dark will come to light."  I found this read so interesting that once I started reading I couldn't put it down until the end.  Finding someone at their end but being able to turn your life around was truly part of this good read that was truly enjoyable.

This author writes so well of the reality of what can go on a 'todays church's'  that will leaves  you spell bound in the world that we live in today and are  called Christians.  I was definitely left saying wow...'Blessed Trinity' it is!

"Blessed Trinity" by Vanessa Davis Griggs...

"Three sisters...one devastating secret.

"Faith Alexandria Morrell, the oldest of a mysterious trio of sisters, lives a troubled life and guards a horrifying secret. Yet few, least of all her new church family, would believe this always-impeccably-dressed woman is so utterly lost. But what lies beneath the surface of Faith's carefully constructed veneer could completely destroy her.
Needing help, Faith and her sisters, Hope and Charity, join Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center. This new mega church, led by the dreadlock-wearing, Holy Ghost-filled Pastor George Landris, just may offer the solace she needs. But Faith soon discovers that all is not well in her new church home: Pastor Landris's  marriage may not be as solid as everyone thinks and he's struggling to finance the church building; Thomas, the pastor's deadbeat brother, is diagnosed as bipolar; and Johnnie Mae, the pastor's wife, is facing some tough choices regarding her ailing mother's care. How can Faith and her sisters find comfort here when so many are wrestling with their own issues? And when one sister suffers a crushing collapse, prayer may be the only way to unravel the mystery shadowing Faith and her sisters--the blessed trinity."


What I loved about "Blessed Trinity"...


I found this read truly one great read that you will not be able to put down this inspirational read until the very end.  This  novel  is the first in the series and  what a read.  I loved this beginning series with Pastor George Landris and Johnnie Mae Taylor Landris.  Truly it wasn't a smooth ride for the Landris after moving to Alabama and starting a new ministry... Jesus Faith Worship Center.   Be ready for lots of drama in the church, with their family... and those three interesting women  that comes into their lives....and the 'secret' that will come to the surface only to change many people's lives. 


In the end you will have a truly one amazing Christian fiction read that will only lead you to want to read more from this author.
