Book Review: Gathering the Priests

Written by Dan Harwell
Review by Donald James Parker
Dan Harwell is not a typical author. After prophetic promptings from multiple people convinced him he was supposed to write a book, Dan and his wife decided it was time for him to tackle the challenge. He quit his excellent job to devote all of his time to the effort. When the book was complete, traditional publishers flirted with him, but failed to make a commitment because Dan was moving to South Dakota, an area of low population, which is not conducive for promoting a book. So he self published. God blessed him with finances from various sources to sustain the family while he was writing, and when he finished, provided another excellent job for him. And now he has no desire to write another book. It was not something he did out of a thirst for fortune or fame or passion for writing, but rather to be obedient to God. That’s my kind of writer. This is my kind of book.

Book Review: Shades of Blue

By Karen Kingsbury
Reviewed by J Renee Archer
Writing a review for a Karen Kingsbury book is difficult. What do you say about a book written by, arguably, the most popular Christian fiction writer? Of course, claiming that title can only be done by writing superb novels. If Kingsbury’s books were predictable, mediocre and far-fetched she would not have the loyal following she does. An author like Kingsbury does not rely on accolades and good reviews to sell books; her name on the cover cinches the sale. So I ask, what do you write in a Karen Kingsbury book review?

Movie Review: Julie & Julia

Review by Nike Chillemi
With Julie & Julia coming out on pay-per-view and DVD, I thought I’d put my two cents in on this movie. If you want a good tickle, followed by a hearty belly laugh—then order it or get it at the video store—and see Meryl Streep as Julia Child. What a delight she is.
