First Line Friday #36-Being Untwisted

We made it to Friday!! It has been a really long week around here. Any plans for the weekend? We are once again supposed to get some winter weather tonight, so not sure how that will affect our weekend.  Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link).  This week I am reading Being Untwisted: Deciphering Christianity's Malignant, Evolving, Ulterior Purpose by Mike Marty.

Can't Wait Wednesday-Malicious Intent

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Malicious Intent by Lynn H. Blackburn. I LOVED the first book in the series, Unknown Threat and have been waiting for Malicious Intent since I finished the last page!!! Malicious Intent is the second book in the Defend and Protect series and is set to release March 1, 2022.

Top Ten Tuesday-Help/Bookish questions

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We had snow come through on Friday into Saturday, and it was fun to have a little bit of snow for the first time in 4 years! Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is new-to-me authors I discovered in 2021. I read almost 150 new-to-me authors in 2021 and I have already blogged about it and will link it in this post.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today!

Another Gospel?

Publisher: Tyndale

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Religion, Theology

My Review:

Alisa Childers is a wife, mom, blogger, author, and was a member of the band ZOEgirl. I read this book because Sarah Geringer put it on her best Christian books she read in 2021 list. It sounded interesting, so I thought, "why not?"
