EvanTell, Inc. in their new book, “
The Evangelism Study Bible” published by Kregel Publications provides us The Gospel. Clear and Simple.
From the back cover: Evangelism can mean many things to many people. For some, it’s something that requires special training or a calling from God. For others, it’s something only done in a church building or arena. And for some, it evokes emotions of guilt and shame for failing to be a vibrant witness to unbelievers.

Larry Moyer, EvanTell, Inc., touches millions of lives each year with evangelism materials, evangelism training, and outreach events.

The Evangelism Study Bible provides all the tools needed for sharing the gospel in a clear, simple, and guilt-free way.

Book Review: “A Saintly Killing” by Martha Ockley

Martha Ockley in her new book, “
A Saintly Killing” Book Three in the Faith Morgan Mystery series published by Kregel Publications gives us another mystery with Faith Morgan.
From the back cover: Faith Morgan is feeling settled and contented in her role as the vicar of Little Worthy. St James’s is about to reach its 900th anniversary and to celebrate Faith has commissioned a new painting of the church from distinguished local artist Sal Hinkley.
However, Sal, recently returned from Australia, is not a universally popular choice: outspoken and opinionated, she has made her share of enemies.
Before the painting can be completed, Sal is found dead at her easel. Suddenly, several respectable members of the church community are under suspicion and Faith finds herself thrown into the path of her former flame, Detective Inspector Ben Shorter, who, though he has no time for God-botherers, still seems to have time for Faith…
I grew up with the Father Brown stories which means I really enjoy Faith Morgan. This is the third book in Ms. Ockley’s series and I think it is the best so far. Faith has her Vicar responsibilities which are keeping her busy and then she has her personal responsibilities. Somebody murdered the artist working on the 900th anniversary of the parish and it seems nobody liked her. Plenty of suspects, plenty of motive, now Faith has to narrow down the field to just the one who did it. Not an easy task. This is a hard-boiled investigation filled with all kinds of twists and turns that will really keep you engrossed. Faith Morgan has a keen observant eye that catches all the little things that even I missed, and I was watching for them. Martha Ockley is an extremely talented writer who really knows how to tell a story that will grab you and keep you flipping pages until you reach the end. “A Saintly Killing” is a very exciting book. I am so looking forward to the next book from this very talented author.

Book Review: “Sister Eve, Private Eye” by Lynne Hinton

Lynne Hinton in her new book, “
Sister Eve, Private Eye” Book One in the Divine Private Detective Agency series published by Thomas Nelson introduces us to Sister Eve.
From the back cover: Sister Eve knows God moves in mysterious ways. And Eve adores a good mystery. Especially a murder.
Two decades into her calling at a New Mexico monastery, Sister Evangeline Divine breaks her daily routine when a police officer appears, carrying a message from her father. Sister Eve is no stranger to the law, having grown up with a police captain turned private detective. She’s seen her fair share of crime—and knows a thing or two about solving mysteries.
But when Captain Jackson Divine needs her to return home and help him recover from surgery, Sister Eve finds herself taking on his latest case.
A Hollywood director has disappeared, and the sultry starlet he’s been running around with isn’t talking. When the missing man turns up dead, Captain Divine’s case escalates into a full-blown murder case, and Sister Eve’s crime-solving instincts kick in with an almost God-given grace.
Soon Sister Eve finds herself soul-searching every step of the way: How can she choose between the vocation in her heart and the job in her blood?
For me there is something special about the mysteries where the investigator is a priest or a nun. Maybe it is their connection to God that gives them a unique approach to a murder investigation. Meet Sister Eve or Sister Evangeline Divine. She has all kinds of issues which are only hinted at in this story and gives us a lot to look forward to in future stories. She has come home to take care of her injured Private Investigator father and mend relationships. Already, not an easy task. But Sister Eve is going to pick up the investigation where her father left off. Now get ready for a page-turner. I do not believe you will figure out who the killer actually is but you won’t feel badly about that as the adventure is exciting enough. “Sister Eve, Private Eye” is a mystery that will keep you flipping pages well into the night because you will keep telling yourself just one page more, it is that good. Lynne Hinton has brought in a winner with her new book. Already I am looking forward to the next mystery in this series.
