On F.A.I.T.H. Today

I'm reminding us all to praise God and thank Him for "the little things" on the F.A.I.T.H. blog today.

The Divine Appointment by Jerome Teel

This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing

THE DIVINE APPOINTMENT

(Howard Books June 5, 2007)


by
Jerome Teel

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Jerome Teel is a graduate of Union University, where he received his JD, cum laude, from the Ole Miss School of Law. He is actively involved in his church, local charities, and youth sports.

He has always loved legal-suspense novels and is a political junkie. He is also the author of The Election, another political thriller that we reviewed November of '06.

Jerome and his wife, Jennifer, have three children...Brittney, Trey, and Matthew...and they reside in Tennessee where he practices law and is at work on a new novel.





ABOUT THE BOOK:

"They aren't hiding just one something, but a bunch of somethings..."

Small town southern lawyer, Elijah Faulkner is a dying breed...an attorney that actually takes pleasure in fighting injustice by working hard for the little guy. But when he takes on a case to defend a philandering doctor with a pregnant wife in a seemingly open-and-shut murder trial, Eli is not so sure he is on the 'right' side.

Back in Washington D.C., supreme Court Justice Martha Robinson has died, presenting an unprecedented opportunity for conservative President Richard Wallace to impact the direction of the highest court in the land. He believes God put him in the presidency for just such a time as this...to make a Divine Appointment. Not everyone is thrilled with the president's nominee, however. And some will stop at nothing, including murder, to prevent his confirmation by the Senate.

A lobbyist with a vendetta, a small-time Mafioso, an investigative reporter with a Watergate complex, and a powerful Washington political machine combine to create a fast-paced suspense novel that explores the anatomy of a murder, and the ripple effect that it creates across the country.


"Jerome Teel has crafted an intriguing political thriller...nice twists and turns to keep you reading. He paints vivid mental pictures that bring characters and locales to life."
--Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee's 7th District

I'm a WINNER!!!

Y'ALL!!!

(For any one not living in the southern USA, this is what southern chicks like me say when we're really excited. For instance, I would enter a room and say: Y'all, Guess what?)

Guess what?

I never win anything, but a month ago I entered Tamera Alexander's contest on her website to get a copy of Remembered. All I had to do was enter my favorite scene from Revealed. Gosh, which one would I chose from? I can't even tell you what I put. So I picked out a scene, typed it on the entry form and hit send.

Then I forgot about it.

I bought a copy of Remembered last weekend!

Then I find out ~

I Won! I Won!

Yippee!

I Won a book by one of my favorite authors and a bottle of perfume!

I NEVER WIN ANYTHING!

So what I plan to do is do a review of Rekindled, Revealed, and Remembered in the near future. By just reading Rekindled and Revealed, I felt encouraged to dig up the historical I started a year or two ago. Maybe historicals are where my heart is. I don't know. To be continued on that one. But I can tell you Tamera Alexander is a gifted author and her work is truly inspiring.

After I post my review, I'll do a book giveaway for her latest release, Remembered. I know I'll love it as much as I have her first two books. And I hope after reading my review you'll pick up a copy for yourself. Or maybe, you'll go ahead and do that!

Check back with me!!

VBS Week - Conclusion

Tonight all the children who participated in Vacation Bible School, will do a presentation before their parents. They'll receive a certificate of completion. I pray more will come to know Christ.

This week has been special. Although I've blogged, in fun, about how wild my 2-3 year old class has been at times, I've enjoyed it. Each child is special, with their own unique personality. Each has a sparkle in his or her eyes that you don't see in adults.

We all had that sparkle once. I just want to bottle it up for each of them, so they can hold tight to it.

This week has been a privilege. I've enjoyed singing with these kids and to have had a part in teaching these little ones about God. I'm glad to have been able to share it with you.
