Text of the page (random words):
fe well done paul a career fbi agent out of the kansas city office has everything going for him he s good at his job has a really nice apartment and is dating a beautiful new girlfriend like paul emily works for the fbi as a field agent and is an active member of the church she is asked to participate with a group of agents that are investigating a judge suspected of illegal activities her job is to use her looks to seduce and trap the suspect especially challenging considering her values as a member of the church but things get dangerous quickly when it s discovered that someone on the inside is passing along vital information information that could cost emily her life jimmy has endured a horrible family tragedy that has pushed him away from the church and his life paul and he were friends in high school and he approaches paul using their previous association to get a free bed for a couple of nights however things turn out a little different than he anticipated and jimmy gets more than he bargained for in several ways in between mysterious information leaks shoot outs and double crossing agents westover manages to teach some profound lessons about the atonement and repentance yet as i said before he does so in a way that feels natural rather than something one has to trip over in before returning to the plot definsive tactics is a great read for both male and female readers there is a definite romantic aspect but it blends well with the twists and turns of the suspense westover knows his stuff when it comes to keeping his readers on the edge of their seat i really enjoyed this book and i think you will too ps we will be running defensive tactics by steve westover in the daily chapter next week posted by annie speaks her mind at monday september 20 2010 1 12 pm 0 comments some secrets hurt a story of healing by linda kay garner illustrated by d brandilyn speth i don t usually review children s books for several reasons first off they are always so good it s like movie reviews for disney films are almost guaranteed a five star rating secondly ldsbookcorner doesn t carry children s books and the daily chapter doesn t spotlight them however when i read some secrets hurt a story of healing by linda kay garner i decided to make an exception there is nothing more frightening to a parent than the thought that someone might be physical or emotionally molesting their child and unfortunately no matter how many times a mom or dad sit down and try to teach the importance of sharing such crucial information it s not at all unusual for a child to suffer in silence as horrible as the thought is of a molested child the idea that they might feel alone with the burden or guilty themselves is almost unbearable which is why garner approached such a serious topic in a child s picture book despite the subject matter this is not a threatening or graphic book in simple easy to understand language garner explains and teaches the importance of letting parents know when something bad is happening in a way that is both reassuring and empowering d bradilyn speth s beautiful water colors illustrate most of each page maggie the main character is a charming child and the stranger that maggie knows and trust is tastefully depicted as a dark human shaped shadow years ago when i was working in a church children s organization it came to our attention that one of the children from the neighborhood had been displaying behaviors that could signal abuse we spent hours coming up with a presentation that could not only approach this problem but also warn the other children under our care how i wish some secrets hurt had been available at the time garner does school visits from preschool up to high school and her thoughtful presentations have been well received by both students and teachers if you are a parent a grandparent or have a child that you love this book has got to be a part of their personal library visit linda kay garner at her website some secrets hurt posted by annie speaks her mind at sunday august 29 2010 11 33 pm 0 comments trapped is a captivating summer read last year i had the opportunity to run a novel by new author ronda gibb hinrichsen on the lds bookcorner daily chapter it was a book titled missing and told the story of a young byu student on tour with one of the schools performing choirs when she spots a young girl who s been missing for months i knew then that we would be seeing good things from this author earlier in the spring hinrichsen released a second novel trapped is an interesting combination of fantasy and mystery set first in florida and later in the mountains of austria this book takes you on a ride that includes romance treachery and other worldly magic emi warren awakens to a burglar prowling through the condo where she has been staying by herself she manages to take refuge in the house of her elderly next door neighbor but once the police arrive we realize that this was no common break in the intruder wasn t so interested in stealing valuables as setting up strange little shrines in various rooms of the house and leaving a letter that would shatter emi s world and lead she and her friend daniel half way around the world to uncover a secret curse that has haunted her father s family for generations the settings especially those in austria were authentic and well written and her bad guys were evil and slightly unhinged emi makes a strong female heroine who despite her own insecurities and weaknesses manages to solve the mystery and rise to the occasion when quick thinking is necessary it took me awhile before i realized the fantasy element in the story and i wished i d gotten that sooner but the story was impelling and i was drawn into the building suspense at 293 pages this is a great summer read for women and girls of all ages there is plenty of romance but it doesn t over power the story and hinrichsen manages to keep the twists and turns coming so hang onto your seat click here to purchase trapped through amazon com a forged letter a golden vial an ancient curse filled with family secrets intrigue and romance the blog

wednesday august 18 2010 8 08 am 1 comments the fourth nephite by jeffrey s savage jeffrey s savage is a talented writer with multiple books under his belt he s the writer of the shaundra covington mystery series of which the third book was released earlier in the summer and will be spotlighted on the daily chapter next week he s also the author of a middle grade fantasy series farworld water keep and land keep under the name of j scott savage that has a large and faithful following however his newest book which will be released the end of this month combines the best of both his mystery and ya skills with a dose of church history tossed in i recently received an advanced reading copy of the fourth nephite to review and i was curious an action packed faith promoting young adult thriller with a little romance thrown in is not the easiest book to write and i was anxious to see how savage would handle it the story begins with kaleo steele a senior on the football team with high hopes for a future that includes football scholarships and perhaps a career in the nfl what his future does not include is a mission it isn t that kaleo doesn t want to take two years out of his life it s that he doesn t believe the church is true he s convinced that there were no golden plates and that the book of mormon was a creation from the imagination of joseph smith the night before the big game kaleo is spotted with a beer in his hand on school property by his seminary teacher despite the fact that he didn t drink any that s a guaranteed ten day suspension which would not allow him to play before the college scouts the next day brother mortensen offers him a way out if kaleo will go into salt lake and look up a guy by the name of ladan bro mortensen won t say anything to the school authorities thus begins an adventure like none other kaleo eventually finds himself in palmyra new york in the fall of 1827 a point in history where tensions are high joseph smith has retrieved the golden plates but must keep them safe from the evil men who will stop at nothing not even murder to get their hands on the treasure savage uses his modern day protagonist to bring a fresh perspective to a familiar time in church history i found the pace exciting grabbing me right from page one and not letting go till the very last page the characters are complicated and the antagonist is a very frightening man who s evilness seemed to jump off the page as kaleo searches for a way back home he s also trying to discover what he believes there is nothing preachy about this book as the reader follows along the path of kaleo s self discovery this is a great book for any reader but especially for the pre teen and teen set so if you ve got a gift giving occasion coming up you can t go wrong it s also a wonderful book to read together as a family at fhe or before bed i am neither a pre teen nor a teen myself but i loved it posted by annie speaks her mind at tuesday august 3 2010 11 19 am

for example a huge great dane who shares janie s single apartment and all the employees of chocolate art forever who are unique and full of personality and if jane eyre had been lds her relief society would have been very much like the one in the nosey ward janie attends chocolate roses is a fun read just like soward s popular ghost mystery haunts haven that came out last year the novel runs 225
