Dancing and Doughnuts? What? I’ll take the doughnuts. Ah, but wait! There’s a book by Lutheran author Rachel Kovaciny,Dancing & Doughnuts, and it’s the second in her series, Once Upon a Western. (I reviewed the first one, Cloaked,here.)
I want to thank all the Lutheran authors out there. I’ve been out of sorts since the accident, but I’ve found good comfort and some great distraction while reading your books! Thank you, thank you! Today’s review will be on Lutheran author Rachel Kovaciny‘s Cloaked (Once Upon a Western Book 1).
Last week I reviewed Lutheran author J. L. Vaughan’s book, No Good Son. I quickly followed it up with reading another of his books, The Root of Esau. This is a much different kind of book and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I was in the mood for a fast-paced novel, thought, “Hmm, a crime thriller sounds good,” and scrolled through my Kindle library. There it was: No Good Sonby Lutheran author J. L. Vaughan. (I’ve most recently mentioned him with his project, Lutheran Audio Review. Go here for the website and here for the book.) It was totally what I wanted!
Ok. It’s time to admit that I don’t particularly care for getting too innovative with punctuation. I’m joyfully Lutheran and there is joy in being fully Lutheran. Joy:fully Lutheran? Ok. I get it. But rather than linger too long on punctuation, that lovely clarifier of so much, I’ll jump to reviewing Why Am I Joy:Fully Lutheran? Instruction, Meditation, and Prayers on Luther’s Small Catechisminstead. 🙂
Today’s review is on Ordering Our Days in His Peace: An Introduction to the Christian Church Yearby LCMS Pastor H. R. Curtis. It’s something of a follow up from my review post here from last week. (This is probably the format I’ll use when I actually post the reviews to Amazon & GoodReads after I wrap up with the third.)
