"I’m excited to add this to my personal study this year. I finished studying the Old Testament and now studying the New Testament. I started it years ago but with several children at home I didn’t finish. I just bought the journal edition so I can mark it up and write my thoughts in it. I love my Savior!!!" — Apr 16, 2023 07:45PM

Julie’s Notes & Highlights

Taking a Chance by Becky Monson

2 highlights

“Oh my gosh, you are not telling me dad jokes.” I glower at him. He laughs, his head tipping back as he does. He’s got one of those contagious laughs. Under different circumstances I would probably join him. Not because of the jokes, mind ...more

Me too! All the "Dad Jokes" throughout the book were great and very well timed!

Willing To Review Christian Group — 634 members — last activity Jan 09, 2025 09:40PM
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
