 ----- 5 Star Review by Crystal J. Casavant-Otto

*****: Well Ron Chapman has done it again - he has masterfully written a book that will stick with readers long after reading the final page! Yes, I've read the first two books but I feel strongly that The Reckoning of Grace could be just fine as a stand-alone book. However, once you read a Chapman book, I guarantee you'll be left wanting more!

The imagery throughout The Reckoning of Grace is insightful and provocative and the premise of the book is very timely. This is a remarkable read felt like a soulful journey and provided the framework for plenty of self-reflection. The characters are unforgettable and I was captivated from cover to cover!

  1. Thank you so much, Crystal! I'm really pleased this story continues to hit the mark in your eyes, especially given the present world we are experiencing. It's been remarkable to me that the plot continues to emerge, after all, I thought it was one book, and now I see the fourth one in the series coming together after The Reckoning of Grace. (FYI, the working title of the next book is Grace Resurrected! Always room for a teaser, right? LOL) Regardless, the feedback from readers has already been very gratifying, and the explorations it is generating for them are really compelling. So thank you for your support, and promotion, and good wishes! All the best, Ron

You Can Speak Your Mind, But Not On My Time?

Today's post title is inspired by the fabulous song that is likely going through your head right now "I still belong, don't get me wrong, you can speak your mind but not on my time...you can live your life, but this is my life..."etc... The topic however is inspired by a dear friend who recently said to me "why is it so hard for people to be real and have a conversation about things they disagree with?" I've been thinking about that queestion and the conversation that it inspired - what she was really talking about is feedback. Why is it so difficult to tell someone that you'd like them to do something differently? We beat around the bush, and sometimes never say what's on our mind. Isn't this really the rooot cause of relationship problems? The cause of dating mis-haps, family arguements, and the underlying issue that often results in anger and fighting? Before you answer, let me toss out some scenarios: 1) You're dating someone ...

Natural Remedies for Depression ?

Have you had those moments when you weren't feeling quite like yourself? Those negative thoughts were creeping in? clouding your judgment? making every day chores seem like amazing feats of heroism? If you've never felt like that - good for you! I on the other hand struggle with life's ups and downs. From depression during my divorce to post-partum depression, etc... I tend to be a very happy and optimistic person, but the flip side of that coin brings those days when staying in bed is more alluring than hopping in the shower and going through the motions of the day. There are some fabulous medications on the market today, and seeking the help of a healthcare professional is always a great idea. Sometimes I'm not feeling depressed, but I fear I'm headed there. I don't particularly care for some of the side effects of medications I have been on in the past, and a natural remedy can sometimes give me just the kick in the pants that I need to 'get happy...

https://www.gardspo.com/ Please enjoy this 5 star review for: World's Strongest Expandable Garden Hose with MADE IN USA inner tube material and NEW DOUBLE M FABRIC, Expanding Hose Flexible Hose Expandable Hose with Hose Nozzle & Hose Holder (50 ft, Black) This Gardspo hose seems stronger than others I've tried. It's very well made yet lightweight. The other perk is it seems to offer more water pressure than other similar hoses. It's a very high quality hose that comes with a very nice sprayer attachment. Easy to use & great design! expandable hose, garden hose and expanding hose
