“The Inn at Hidden Run” by Olivia Newport is a well-written, time-split story that arrests our attention, when a genealogist daughter and her lawyer-cum-mediator father sort out the baffling problems between Meri, the main character and her family. The story is split into two time frames, with a strong Christian theme, providing ample food for thought. It is a moving story about family relationships, reconciliation, depicting how the same family members are influenced by different family traits. An interesting, inspiring and immersive read, this book deftly portrays how to pursue one’s own dreams, in a love letter to the past, a romantic mystery in which Olivia Newport uses the “time slip genre” to root her story in the interesting art of genealogy, reaching back to past generations. The first book in the Tree of Life Series, “The Inn at Hidden Run” celebrates unforgettable family stories and interesting family histories that inspire readers to connect in unique faith journeys. Olivia Newport expertly examines the innate human desire for a sense of roots and belonging, creating a unique patchwork quilt of family histories, intricately woven into the daily fabric of human lives.

When Christ was on earth, God spoke twice: “Jesus is marked by My love.” The only thing that marks Christ and His followers is love. View life through a filter of love. If Christ’s followers are marked by love, it will revolutionize the world the way He did.

Tim Stevens’ father, Ron Stevens, was the epitome of love. He loved his wife like Christ loved the Church. Ron loved his Coworkers like a true Servant Leader. Ron helped people by putting their needs above his own. Ron treated others with utmost respect and honor. Ron Stevens’ life was marked by love for seventy-seven years. His legacy lives on in his son’s life and through this book.

“Marked by Love” is a passion project, straight from Tim Stevens’ heart. The one and only way to make a profound impact upon the world is Love. When all our thoughts, words, actions, reactions and beliefs are processed through a filter of love, we will change the world, God’s way. Love is all that matters. The entire game of life is won or lost solely depending on how well we love others and serve them the way Jesus did. This inspiring book is a journey through life, “Marked by Love.”

UNCOMMON – by Carey Scott

Uncommon is a blueprint, a bugle and a battle cry, issuing a clarion call to women to be uniquely different, and make a giant leap into an extraordinary life, full of perseverance, passion and purpose. Carey Scott highlights this point with Biblical heroines, who lived uncommon lives in the toughest circumstances, teaching us to live life God’s way, imbued by His strength. God asks us to be His beacons and shine His light into the world, in uncommon, exemplary, radical obedience to the One who is Himself extraordinary.

With vulnerable authenticity and uncommon boldness, this book empowers us to embrace our calling and lead others to God. Be uncommon and leap aboard the bandwagon of faith. Stand out in faith and neither give up nor give in. Let your faith shine to lead others to Christ. Praise draws us closer to God to get the strength to face the trials of life. Uncommon teaches us to live life uncommonly. Carey Scott addresses real struggles women face daily, like unconditional forgiveness and the courage to face the most difficult trials. Carey encourages us to live uncommon lives, to be kind, generous, loving and forgiving, to have faith in God to achieve the impossible. In each chapter is a personal reflection, stories from the Bible, Scripture, a personal challenge, and a prayer. It is a daily quiet time guide and daily devotional in the study of uncommon womanhood.

This book is true to its name. It is uncommon to surrender when the world calls you to conform. Carey takers us on a unique study of boldness in faith, to discover our own passion and be imbued with a renewed, revived and rejuvenated trust in God’s Word. It is not easy to be uncommon and to take the giant leap of faith to follow God’s path. We must live out our faith in such a way that it sets us apart, consecrated for God. We must learn how to be uncommon in every aspect of life. God is uncommon, and as we are made in His image, we are uncommon too. We must apply God’s word in every area of our lives and trust Him always. “Uncommon” fills us with God’s unconditional love, to inspire us to become the most uncommon women ever.
