Facing The Dawn By Cynthia Ruchti GIVEAWAY!

 

While her humanitarian husband Liam has been digging wells in Africa, Mara Jacobs has been struggling. She knows she's supposed to feel a warm glow that her husband is nine time zones away, caring for widows and orphans. But the reality is that she is exhausted, working a demanding yet unrewarding job, trying to manage their three detention-prone kids, failing at her to-repair list, and fading like a garment left too long in the sun.

Then Liam's three-year absence turns into something more, changing everything and plunging her into a sunless grief. As Mara struggles to find her footing, she discovers that even when hope is tenuous, faith is fragile, and the future is unknown, we can be sure we are not forgotten . . . or unloved.

With emotionally evocative prose that tackles tough topics with tenderness and hope, award-winning author Cynthia Ruchti invites you on a journey of the heart you won't soon forget.

My Thoughts...

I never had a book make me cry as much as this one did. Ruchti never disappoints  but you never know what you are going to read. She never writes the same story twice.

The pressure  to not sit and cry was so hard. The forgiving and  healing was so prevalent  on these pages.

I gave this book 4 stars and I recommend it.  

Grab your copy, you can thank me later.

Afraid of The Light By Cynthia Ruchti GIVEAWAY!

Clinical psychologist Camille Brooks isn’t put off by the lifestyle of her hoarder clients and the distress of their families. She lost her mother to the crippling anxiety disorder--so she’ll go a long way to help others avoid the same pain.

Despite Camille’s expertise, her growing audience for her Let In the Light podcast, and the recognition she’s gaining for her creative coaching methods, she’s not prepared for the pushback. A client who looks uncannily like her mom catches her off guard and raises long-dormant issues. And the revelation that Camille has her own hoarding problem sends her spinning.

With the help of a cadre of unexpected friends, an enigma of a man who refuses to be discouraged, and the God who created and loves her, can she face her fears, pull back the curtains, and let the light into her own life?

A Fragile Hope By Cynthia Ruchti

Josiah Chamberlain's life's work revolves around repairing other people's marriages. When his own is threatened by his wife's unexplained distance, and then threatened further when she's unexpectedly plunged into an unending fog, Josiah finds his expertise, quick wit and clever quips are no match for a relationship that is clearly broken.

Feeling betrayed, confused, and ill-equipped for a crisis this crippling, he reexamines everything he knows about the fragility of hope and the strength of his faith and love. Love seems to have failed him. Will what’s left of his faith fail him, too? Or will it be the one thing that holds him together and sears through the impenetrable wall that separates them?

This is a book that you have no clue where its going, You think one thing and another comes to pass. You have no idea how this book is going to end.

You are going to love to hate Josiah, and you are going to feel for Karin. they are two of the best characters.

I read it in one sitting and I HIGHLY recommend it. This is such a moving book of Hope.

I gave this book 5 stars two times.

Song of Silence By Cynthia Ruchti

Charlie and Lucy Tuttle are committed to each other for life, but that life isn’t turning out quite like they expected. Charlie retired early, but Lucy planned to continue in her position as a music educator in a small Midwestern K-8 school indefinitely. And then the day came when she was forced to retire. Lucy was devoted to the program her father started years ago and now she can only watch as it disintegrates before her eyes. The longer she is separated from the passion of her heart, the more the music fades from her life and she wonders if her faith’s song is fading too. When a simple misstep threatens to silence Lucy forever, a young boy and his soundless mother change the way she sees—and hears—everything.

Loving music like I do and sharing it with my best friend, this book was fantastic.What an emotional read, but I did not expect anything different for Ruchti. I hung on ever word and I loved Lucy and was in her corner until the very last page.

I love the characters so much, they were so real to me.

Working with special needs kids would be like a dream for me. This book had it all.

I finished this book as soon as I opened it up and started reading it. This would make a fantastic book club read.

An Endless Christmas By Cynthia Ruchti 2 Book Giveaway!

Christmas takes a very different turn when the guests of honor break up instead
of announcing their engagement. Trapped with his family, they learn that love
looks different than either imagined.
Both in their eighties, Dodie and Wilson Binder celebrate every Christmas as if it
were their last. This year, their grandson Micah is planning to ask his girlfriend,
Katie, to marry him so they can celebrate with the whole family. But things go very
wrong when she says, “no.” Now they are stuck. Too many people, too much snow,
and too little room should be a recipe for disaster. But sometimes too much is just
enough. Especially when it’s Christmas.

                                                 A MUST READ!!!

I read this book in just a couple of hours and I loved every page.

I was so worried about Micah and Katie but it was all good in the end.

Wish I could spend a Christmas with this family, they were the perfect family we all wish we had.

Just wanted to jump in the pages of this book and never leave.

I gave this book 5 stars but because it was way to short for me and I loved it so much from page one, I wish that is was longer. Based on how short is was. I was left wanting MORE. Cynthia needs to write an Endless book, she is so very talented.

Tattered And Mended By Cynthia Ruchti

Artisans can reclaim exquisite beauty from the broken, frayed, and hopefully shattered—perhaps once thought beyond repair. But what about us? What of the wounds that keep us from living the life we want to live? In Tattered and Mended, readers walk through a gallery of reclaimed and restored art as well as broken and restored lives of those who have gone before us. With a gentle touch and personable wisdom, Cynthia Ruchti shows how even the most threadbare soul can once again find healing and hope.

As Waters Gone By By Cynthia Ruchti

Emmalyn Ross never thought a person could feel this alone. Sustaining a marriage with a man who’s not by her side is no easy task, especially since her husband currently resides behind impenetrable prison walls. His actions stole her heart’s desire and gave their relationship a court-mandated five-year time-out. What didn’t fall apart that night fell apart in the intervening years.

Now, on a self-imposed exile to Madeline Island—one of the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior—Emmalyn starts rehabbing an old hunting cottage they’d purchased when life made sense. Restoring it may put a roof over her head, but a home needs more than a roof and walls, just as a marriage needs more than vows and a license. With only a handful of months before her husband is released, Emmalyn must figure out if and how they can ever be a couple again. And his silence isn’t helping.

I'm Cynthia's number one fan, to date I have read all of her books and loved them everyone.

As Waters Gone By was such an emotional read but it was a deep read one where when you're done reading it you are still thinking about the characters and left wanting more.

Job 11:16 was the bases for the title, it's okay go look the scripture up.

You are going to be so happy that you bought a copy of this book.

A great book of hope, please don't miss this book. When you step inside this book you will NEVER want to leave.

I gave this book 5 stars two times. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

They almost Always Come Home By Cynthia Ruchti

Finalist - 2011 Carol Award and 2010 RT Book Reviews Reviewers' Choice Award

When Libby’s husband Greg fails to return from a two-week canoe trip to the Canadian wilderness, the authorities soon write off his disappearance as an unhappy husband’s escape from an empty marriage and unrewarding career. Their marriage might have survived if their daughter Lacey hadn’t died . . . and if Greg hadn’t been responsible. Libby enlists the aid of her wilderness savvy father-in-law and her faith-walking best friend to help her search for clues to her husband’s disappearance…if for no other reason than to free her to move on. What the trio discovers in the search upends Libby’s presumptions about her husband and rearranges her faith.

 I have said this before but I think I will say it again I'm Cynthia's biggest fan.

I am not so sure that Cynthia wrote this book, it has her name on the cover but it just does not sound like her voice.

I had a very hard time getting into the book and the writing was sluggish to say the least, I stuck with it and read the whole book I just has to know where Greg was and why he had left his wife Libby. But it did get better towards the end.

If you to are a fan of Cynthia's and have not read this book please get a copy read it stick with it until you get to the end, then let me know what you think of it.

I gave this book 3.5 stars but I'm glad I read it all.

All of my Belongings By Cynthia Ruchti

A new identity can’t protect Becca from a past that refuses to go away. Where do you turn when changing your name doesn’t give you the anonymity you want? When running hundreds of miles away isn’t far enough? When your search for a place to belong lands you right back where you began? One phone call destroys all the hope Becca Morrow has for a life beyond the shame of her past. Further discredited by the death of her elderly, ailing patient—the mother of the influential businessman, Isaac Hughes—Becca’s new life is shattered and her longing for love slips away. Working to clear her name, Becca must learn to see the beauty in the ugliness of dying, to accept the tenderness in forgiveness, and—at last—discover that where she belongs isn’t as much about her family history as it is about her faith in the One to whom she’ll always belong.

Very emotional but so worth the read.

The scripture that is mixed in this book is in all the right places it was fantastic.

Forgiveness is one word to describe this book.
