MY REVIEW
  I, Saul by Jerry B. Jenkins is a fascinating novel. It goes back and forth from modern day Augustine Knox to Saul of Tarsus when he was in prison right before he died. They are connected by Saul’s writings from two-thousand years ago.
  This book is full of suspense and intrigue.
I never really thought to much about Saul’s time in prison and how it might have been for him or how his friends might have felt.
  Also it shows you how some people will do anything and harm anyone who gets in their way when they find and think they have something priceless’
  Jerry B. Jenkins is a master teller of tales, he really gets to the meat of the story and doesn’t add a bunch of nonsense.
  Really enjoyed this book and glad I get to review it. Very good and I recommend you to read this fascinating novel.

Publication Date: September 1, 2012 | Series: Precinct 11

As the youngest bureau chief and head of the Chicago Police Department's Major Case Squad, Boone Drake seems to have it all under control. Only those closest to him know that just a few short years ago, he lost everything that mattered to him in a tragic accident. After years of healing, his life is back on track. He recently married a wonderful woman named Haeley, adopted her son, bought a beautiful home, and rediscovered his faith. But Boone can't fight the feeling that something is about to go terribly wrong . . . again.

When an all-too-personal case takes Boone to Beijing at a time when Haeley can least afford to let him go, Boone is forced to make a difficult choice. There he becomes enmeshed in a dangerous human-trafficking ring that takes him through the famed Hutong District's narrow streets, alleys, and hovels. Teamed with a former Liberation Army officer, Boone has one chance to pull off an elaborate sting and rescue a young boy before he disappears forever.

MY REVIEW

 Another winning book by Jerry B. Jenkins. The Breakthrough is the third book in the A Precinct 11 novel series. It seems to me each book Jerry writes is better than the one before.

 I just love police books and this one is one of the best.

The characters and settings are so well described it just seems like you are right there. 

 Just when things started to look good for Boone and his personal life and career are back on top several things go wrong. Not the normal little set backs most of us have, but drastic and devastating things. Will Boone stay strong in his faith; will he keep fighting for the good?

  I love the scenes of the police work and how they find things out, how every clue means something and how even the wisest people can be tricked into believing things. Also what I love about this book is the fight to never give up and how love for someone makes us go the extra mile or more.

  The Breakthrough is full of action, love and compassion. Not one scene drags and you will be staying up late to finish it. One part in the book is so very touching that I would have cried if I weren’t in the break room at work surrounded by lots of people.

 I highly recommend The Breakthrough by Jerry B. Jenkins for everyone.

As Good As She Imagined by Roxanna Green with Jerry B. Jenkins~ A Review~

ABOUT AS GOOD AS SHE IMAGINED
The story of the little girl whose shooting death at a political rally in Tucson in January 2011 shook our nation—and whose life and legacy continue to be an inspiration.
Christina-Taylor Green was beautiful, precocious, and popular, a member of her elementary school’s student council and the only girl on her Little League team. Born on 9/11/2001, it was perhaps no surprise that she harbored aspirations of becoming a politician—thus her presence at the political rally that fateful day in Tucson last January. Congressman Gabrielle Giffords was severely wounded in the gunman’s splay of bullets; six others were killed, including Christina, the youngest of the victims.
But this inspirational book recounts far more than the events of “the tragedy of Tucson.” Written by Christina’s mother (with New York Times best-selling biographer Jerry Jenkins), As Good as She Imagined celebrates this little girl’s life, along with the hope that has been born out of a nation’s loss and a family’s grief.

MY REVIEW
  This is an amazing book. The true story of the 9 year old girl who was killed in the Tucson tragedy last January. I was pulled in from the very first and was enthralled throughout.
  The book tells of how Christina-Taylor’s parents met, fell in love and their life before Christina was born. There is a lot of back story in this book, but it really is necessary.
   I found it quite interesting to hear of Roxanna and John’s story, also of the birth of their first child Dallas. The way they moved to different places and also the many trips they took.
  Roxanna does most of the telling of this story, but John also shares many things. You would think a book about the death of a child would be only sad and morose, but this one is full of hope and about continuing on when you just don’t feel like it.
  Roxanna tells the many different things her daughter was interested in. She loved so many people and helped those unfortunate. She was always looking for people to help and causes to support. She loved politics and was always learning.
  I love to read books of life stories and this one is so excellent. I highly recommend this book. It is one that will really inspire you.

MY REVIEW
 This is book 2 in the Precinct 11 series and it is a fantastic book. Jerry B. Jenkins writes books that are full of truth, honesty and plenty of mystery and suspense. I’ve loved all the books I’ve ever read of his.
  In The Betrayal book 2 took off right where book 1 left off and it was at a very suspenseful moment.
  One thing I liked about this book was I didn’t know who was betraying whom until close to the end of the book. I thought it could be this person, than I thought it might be someone else. I didn’t know who was the betrayer for quite a while, which I really thought was fantastic.
  In The Betrayal Boone gets closer to the Lord and seeks to do his will. He keeps witnessing to his friend and former partner Jack.
  Even though Boone was greatly wounded, he didn’t give up, didn’t want others to feel sorry for him and kept investigating the case. It really shows his determination and how much the police force means to him.
This is one action-packed, fast-paced read that you absolutely won’t put down until you find out who the betrayer is and the one/ones being betrayed. It is a surprise right up to the end. If you want to read a book that you will really enjoy, this is the book for you. I highly recommend this 5-star book, The Betrayal.

MY REVIEW

I love books about police/suspenseful genres and The Brotherhood is just that and so much more. This book takes place in Chicago and mostly within the Chicago Police Department. I really liked the main character Boone Drake. The Brotherhood tells about his life growing up and how his life right now is perfect with family, home and job he loves dearly, but things never stay the same. I was really drawn in to the fun, joy, heartbreak, sadness, loss, forgiveness and love. Boone goes on a rollercoaster of emotions and you find out that no one emotion last forever, but they change as you change. How you grow and how situations come and go in your life. One of my favorite parts of this book is when Boone finally gets the job in the Organized Crime Division that he has always wanted and has to work with the most vicious gang leader. It’s just an amazing book that is hard to put down. I love the book cover and the title. They fit perfectly with the story inside. You won’t be bored for a second while reading The Brotherhood. I highly recommend The Brotherhood for a fast, exciting read from first sentence to the end.
