The Road to Easter Day
By Jan Godfrey and Marcin Piwowarski.
Along the road to Easter Day, Ben looked and listened to

all sorts of things instead of praying and praising God at the temple. Jesus shared a simple meal of bread and wine with his friends.

Someday By Karen Kingsbury.
This book is Sunrise Series No. 3 about the Baxter family. John comes to a decision about his relationship
with Elaine. Ashley tries to keep her family happy. Katy and Dayne struggle with their separation and life in the movie world. Luke
and Reagan try to keep their marriage intact. The Kingsbury books have made the Baxter family real to us and we end up rooting for
them to overcome their problems. There is much hope as well as grace in the family saga. You get to know the weaknesses of the characters
and pray that God will allow them a happy life. The book is not preachy. The spiritual belief of the characters is not intrusive but
allows you to revel and celebrate the strength of the characters' faith. Highly recommended.
This Christian fiction book is the first book in the Sunrise Series about the Baxter family drama.
There are several stories going on at once, which motivates you to keep on reading until you finish the book. This book emphasises
the importance of salvation in the lives of the characters. The wedding scene of Dayne and Katy is beautiful. The budding romance
between John and long-time friend Elaine is slowly developing. The sub-plot on the perils of drunken driving is well-handled. The
trials and triumphs of the Baxter family are riveting and make them better persons. Highly recommended.
