The Widow of Saunders Creek

I loved this book! Tracy Bateman does a fantastic job balancing a contentious storyline with the Lords words. By providing the story line in each of the character's perspective, it allowed for the reader to follow the thoughts and experiences with ease.
I have never read a book that kept me in suspense and longing for the remedy that only God can provide. With the detailed action filled moments, we were able to experience each moment as they did. By providing the passages of the Bible that allowed them to get through the moments and fight the battle; it gave us a glimpse of how powerful His words truly are.
Tracy takes Corrie through all the real emotions a widow can experience. She also provides  life altering healing and a lesson that can apply to all areas of our lives.

The Litigator by John Grisham

This is the first John Grisham novel that I have read. Grisham provides an entertaining view of the anxiety filled, sometimes comical, up and down ride of the daily legal issues of a small law firm. It starts out interesting with the two different story lines. One story line is  of a young lawyer with a big firm, that feels suffocated  by the corporation. The other story line contains three characters; two attorneys that have lost their ethical morals, and their secretary that is just trying to make ends meet. The story lines flow well and there isn't a lot of over details on characters or settings. He gives you enough to paint the picture but not bore you and lose sight of the story line.
