Fetching Sweetness


About The Book: Standing Between Stephanie and Her Dream Is One Hundred Pounds of Lovable Trouble
It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author's valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.  But Agnes's canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.  When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings—a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog...thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.  Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it's a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.
About The Author: Dana Mentink is a multi-published, award-winning writer. When she’s not clacking away on the keyboard, she busies herself teaching third grade. Mostly, she loves to be home with her husband, two daughters, a rascally rescued terrier, a chubby box turtle, and a feisty parakeet.
My Thoughts On The Book:  What a lovely book to read before school starts back.  It was an awesome beach read on that last hurrah vacation.  I loved it.   The beginning of the book had me in stitches.  It was so much fun to read.  I actually found myself laughing out loud at times.   The book is a sweet and tender read. I loved the hermit author character portrayal of Stephanie Pink, with a dog and interesting male thrown in for good measure.  This is a light, easy reading can't miss, must read, kind of book.  Loved!  Loved!  Loved!

It Is Time to Fly

About the Book:  It's Time to Fly: Daily Devotionals for Families is a book designed for families who want to grow in faith together. Linda C. Davis has written some thought provoking lessons that are simple enough for young family members and yet still have the potential to impact Christians of all ages.  The lessons in the book are based on the contemporary Christian band Ka*Pop’s CD “It’s Time to Fly.” Each song has seven days of family devotionals that center on the message of the song. For example, week four is focused on the song “Deep and Wide” and all the devotions for those seven days relate to the lyrics of “Deep and Wide.”  More information about Ka*Pop and their ministry can be found at www.kapopkit.com

About Ka-Pop:  Ka*Pop is made up of three dads from the Nashville area. They love to create music,  movies and games to share with kids and youth across the country. Jesus loves the little children. Right on. They are pop, dance pop, R & B. Bright, intricate vocals over a funky, rock-tinged musical bed.

My Thoughts On The Subject:  This was nothing like I expected it to be.  The lessons were good, I could see where families would possibly enjoy this, it just was not all that for me.  I am a traditional studier of the Bible and like my music a little more spiritual.  I might give this to my son and his family as a gift and then again might not.
