Starting in 2024, I will be reviewing new books from time to time and would like to share my reviews with you. I would love to read more books and I am sure many of you will too.

Stand Tall Little Twig is a charming story told by Mary Ann Featherston and illustrated by Tammy Jennings. Both the story and the illustrations tell of the journey of Twig, a small twig who eventually realized his purpose in life. As readers, we follow the life and growth of Twig and young Oliver, who sits under his branches. This book leads the way for discussion about life, purpose, and friendship. I highly recommend it for children, grandchildren and the young at heart.   

I am pleased to know Heather Kaufman and am SO excited for her new book that is coming January 23. Up From Dust (part of the Women of the Way series) by Heather Kaufman is a must-read for anyone who likes Biblical fiction. This story focuses on Martha, the sister of Lazarus. The author takes us on a journey from Martha’s life and includes her trials and challenges, the complexities of a female living in Biblical times, and complicated family relationships. Her life-changing encounters with Jesus reflect what we read in the Bible. Kaufman’s easy-to-read writing style and meticulous research help the story have an authentic Biblical era feeling. The ending made me want to throw my fist in the air and shout, “Yes!” I highly recommend this book and cannot wait for her next one in the series.
