Christmas Jars Reunion by Jason F. Wright
Totally Awesome sequel. Amazing. Christmas Jars is a wonderful Christmas Tradition that we have adopted. I mean I think it's a great way to bless others. Okay, so I should probably explain the tradition. So basically at the beginning of the year. Your family gets an empty Spaghetti sauce jar, or any other kind of jar. And whenever you have spare change or you just want to donate, you add money to the jar. So you are collecting all year. Then right before Christmas, preferably Christmas Eve, you give it anonymously to someone who you think needs it. It can be a ding-dong-ditch, or any other form of delivery. We did this last year and had a good time. It can really bless people. This is an amazing story. I defianatly recommend this book and it's Prequel, Christmas Jars
A Banner Is Unfurled by Marcie Gallagher and Kerri Robinson
This is an AWESOME SERIES. It's another LDS church history series(I'm addicted to the stuff), but what makes it unique and cool, is it is about a specific family. The Johnsons. What is even cooler, is they are MY ANCESTORS(mom's side). I have been so engrossed. THEY ARE AMAZING. Compelling, and fun. AND TRUE!
Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites: Sorcerers and Seers by Chris Heimerdinger.
Another smash hit in the Nephite series. But, Another HORRIBLE cliff hanger. WHY DO YOU TORTURE US SO?
For those unfamiliar, it's about these LDS families that go back in time. Right now, there are 3 groups. One in Jerusalem during Jesus's earthly mission, another during the time before the great Cumorah battle, Nephite massacre. And another during the time of King Omer of the Jaredites. Most from the Bo. ok of Mormon. Believe me, it didn't start this crazy. It was only a Book of Mormon adventure back in book 1.
Abish: Daughter of God by K. C. Grant
A n amazing novel about Abish, the amazing woman in the Book of Mormon we hardly know about. Most was fiction about her earlier life. I LOVED IT. Well written and I was caught up. I am dying for book 2 coming in March.
So that's most of the books. If I think of any I've missed I will post.
Thanks for sharing your favorite books. I am trying to read Little Men right now, but don't get much time to read. I would love to read a Banner is Unfurled - you will have to send them to me (haha).
