Praise for Novel Matters Authors
Lying on Sunday:
"Sharon has created a character so vivid and real you'll feel as though you've stepped into Abbie Torrington's life. You don't want to miss this beautiful story of healing and grace" Virginia Smith, author of Age Before Beauty.
The Feast of Saint Bertie:
"A story-feast from the get-go! The Feast of Saint Bertie is a surprising, engaging, unique story that will challenge readers to rethink what it means to be a Christ-follower in today's crazy, materialistic culture. With vivid characters, unconventional settings, and a beautifully unfolding plot, this book is the kind that will stay with you, like the fond memory of a great meal."~Mary E. DeMuth, author of Watching the Tree Limbs and Wishing on Dandelions.
Talking to the Dead:
“It isn’t often that I get so hooked on the characters and story that I forget time and purpose. Talking to the Dead caught hold of my heart from page one. It takes a gifted and intuitive writer like Bonnie to bring humor into the middle of such a serious story. Call her the Jodi Piccoult of Christian fiction! Beautifully done! I can’t wait to read the next story she writes.” ~Francine Rivers, bestselling author of Redeeming Love
Latter Day Cipher:
"Latter-Day Cipher involves the reader not only in a page-turning murder mystery, but also in the struggles of those who must face their own shaken beliefs. A former faithful Mormon, author Scott is sympathetic to those struggles, and attempts to look compassionately at the process of making the hard decision to change."—Sandra Furlong Christian Retailing (Latter Day Cipher is a "top pick" March 2009)
Tuesday Night at the Blue Moon:
"An unusual plotline and top-notch prose mark this talented novelist’s debut...competent dialogue, touches of humor, and sparkling character dynamics make this a welcome addition to the faith fiction fold." --Publishers Weekly
The Queen of Sleepy Eye:
“Few stories are able to portray both the crushing cost of sin and the transforming power of grace. The Queen of Sleepy Eye succeeds brilliantly. Patti Hill crafts each word with beauty and artistry.” Sharon Hinck, author of Stepping into Sunlight
"Sharon has created a character so vivid and real you'll feel as though you've stepped into Abbie Torrington's life. You don't want to miss this beautiful story of healing and grace" Virginia Smith, author of Age Before Beauty.

This reminds me of what Bob Pierce, founder of World Vision, first wrote in the flyleaf of his Bible:
"May my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God."
That's my prayer, too, for my hard old heart. Thank you, dear Bonnie, for the reminder.
Today 3 men came by wanted to know if they could shovel the snow from our driveway for a few dollars. They were out of work and broke. My husband had them shovel and then paid them twice what they asked for. This is the kind of spirit that makes me thankful. These men were willing to do whatever it took to live and their actions humbled me. This kind of giving on both sides is a testament to the spirit we all aspire to this time of year.
Thanks or the reminder.
Blessings.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful story, Jan.
It's inspiring!
Across the world, or across the street, actions of love can change the world.
I have a 3 or 4 year old newspaper clipping on my fridge. It is a picture of a shopping cart decked out in coloured lights. There is a baby in the cart, a rather worried looking infant wrapped in swaddling bands. The caption reads "Keep Christ in Christmas".
There is a Charlie Brown Nativity scene on a lawn in our neighbourhood. I am charmed by it. I would like to see Nativity sets on more lawns; a great variety of commercial and traditional representations of the Happy Birth. This would be the first sign of the Christian Renaissance closely followed by Caroling parties and Salvation Army soldiers struggling to carry overfull kettles.
I am thankful for two almost identical conversations today.
"I'm giving to charity in the name of someone who normally receives a gift from me. I hope they aren't offended."
"They will rejoice. They will feel honoured."
