Though I must say there were a few things that happened through the series that I didn't much car for. HOWEVER, they were written so well it in no way had the ability to ruin the story for me and that's saying a lot because I'm absolutely a character development driven rater. I can definitely feel the mormon influence in this last book. Also, I'm not usually a fan of sequel series but I may just find myself continuing on....more

Typically, evangelism is seen as introducing people to Christ and having them come to a decision in order for the interaction to be a success. This is a lot of pressure and, absolutely not the case. This book explains what evangelism truly is through Jesus' interactions with the woman at the well. Too often well meaning conversations about Christ turn into deterrents for those we're trying to share with. We must go to people in love. Great book!...more

WhilI borrowed this book from the Libby app because I read the summary for Levenseller's new book "The shadows Between us" and was really interested. While waiting for the paperback version of that book to come out I wanted to check out Levenseller's writing and wow was I absolutely in love her writing! The way the female protagonist was written was great and something I've been searching for in other books for years! Awesome read, and definitely worth the few hours of sleep I sacrificed to make it through the climax of the story....more

I have a history of struggling with classics and I did not feel that familiar boredom creeping in as I read Persuasion.
"I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago."
Such a great love story! Persuasion definitely made it onto my list of favorites!...more
