Healing Sands: A Sullivan Crisp Novel by Nancy Rue & Stephen Arterburn


In the struggle for healing, when do you fight and when do you surrender?

Ryan Alexander-Coe is a talented photojournalist who has been on assignment all over the world. But when her two sons choose to live with their father after her divorce, Ryan must give her career up for a small-town newspaper job in order to be near them.

Life spirals out of control when her fifteen-year-old son is arrested. Desperation--both over the fact that she cannot believe her son commited this crime and that he refuses to talk to her--sends her anger level soaring . . . and eventually sends her storming into Dr. Sullivan Crisp's office in search of ways to cope with her anger. Sully is in town assisting at one of his clinics and continuing his search for Belinda Cox, the woman whose guilt-inducing counseling caused the death of his wife and daughter. When Sully's search ends in disaster, both he and Ryan will have to fully rely on God--rather than themselves--to survive these storms.


This book is amazing. The story line is easy to follow and it's easy to get to know the characters and almost feel like you are the character. This book was a great read, in the fact that, my parents are getting divorced right now and although this is from the adults view, it still was a good book to read at this point in time. I definitely could relate to the feelings of Ryan, as well as her kids. The writing is amazing, the characters are true to life, and the overall story is absolutely incredible!!! I would recommend it to anyone, whether they have been affected by divorce or not, because it's an amazing book!!!

Green: Book Zero: The Begining and The End by Ted Dekker

At Last . . . The Circle Reborn

The story of how Thomas Hunter first entered the Black Forest and forever changed our history began at a time when armies were gathered for a final battle in the valley of Migdon. Green is a story of love, betrayal, and sweeping reversals set within the apocalypse. It is the beginning: the truth behind a saga that has captured the imagination of more than a million readers with the Books of History Chronicles.

But even more, Green brings full meaning to the Circle Series as a whole, reading as both prequel to Black and sequel to White, completing a full circle. This is Book Zero, the Circle Reborn, both the beginning and the end. The preferred starting point for new readers . . . and the perfect climax for the countless fans who’ve experienced Black, Red, and White.

The whole time I was reading this book I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn't wait to find out what came next. As I had previously read Black, Red and White, I already was familar with the characters and the story line. Although, I think this is a book that you can start the series with and continue with Black, then Red, and then White, especially if you have never read any of the other three books. This is a great book if you love suspense, mystery, romance, suprising twists, and a very insightful spiritual comparisons. This is one book that I would recommend to anyone that I knew liked supsense and mystery. Rather I would just suggest this book to anyone who liked to read. Ted Dekker does a great job of getting you into the story, so much so that you don't want to put the book done. Another great book by Ted Dekker! And an AMAZING finish to the Circle Series!!!
