The Hearts Stronghold by Gabrielle Meyer, Kimberley Woodhouse, Angie Dicken, Amanda Barratt

These four inspirational stories tell tales of struggle, catastrophe and triumph. Love found under the most unlikely of circumstances. All involve fortifications of some sort, be they physical or mental. Walls put up to protect.

Basic forts, stone castles, superstition, folklore, and a clash of cultures, all factor into these stories of faith and fortitude. They will capture your heart.

The Blue Cloak by Shannon McNear

Based on a true story, this is not an easy book to read. This is not a story of faith tested by having to wait on the Lords time, or trust his choice. This is a story of the true evil that man is capable of, and the redemption of those who believe they are nonredeemable. It takes you to some very dark and horrible places that come about as close as one can get to Hell on earth. But after it all, faith is there. If you are looking for a fun summer read, this is not it. But if you are looking for a thought provoking, soul searching read, this might be for you.
