A Patriotic Celebration!

2010-07-12T12:03:00.001-07:00

July 4th has come and gone, but it’s not too late to enjoy some great books celebrating our freedom. Over at To Read, Or Not To Read, you can read the review of 3 books that honor and celebrate the men and women who serve us and their families who sacrifice for us as well.

For the wives or military men, I highly recommend the book God Strong.

Anyone will enjoy this compilation of stories in A Salute To Service.

And finally A Prayer Journey Through Deployment will be a great encouragement to any family member of those who serve.

So tell me what you enjoy reading the most…Fiction or Non-Fiction?
