About the Book

I love Jesus, my husband, and my daughter. I love reading and reviewing Christian and Clean fiction. And, I am a high school English teacher trying to get kids to fall in love with reading every day!

  1. Happy Friday and weekend! My first line is from “KNOX: The Montana Marshalls” by Susan May Warren:

    “Oh goody, now Knox go to watch his trouble-making little brother break his ornery neck.”

  2. My first line comes from The Lady of Tarpon Springs by Judith Miller. I lived in Tarpon Springs the first year of my marriage, so I am eager to read this book. Just have to make the time. 😉 “Zanna Krykos closed her eyes and offered a silent prayer for God’s direction.”

    1. How cool that you know the place this novel is set. What an awesome connection. You’ll be able to see it all in your mind as it is. Thank you for sharing.

    Dismal, Nevada – Never has a town been named so right.
    The sheriff’s office and the barbershop were in the same building because the sheriff and the barber were the same man. Penny Scott suspected the man made more money at his barbering.

  6. Those are pretty big slippers to fill.. and I really like comfy slippers! haha
    Today on my blog I shared the first line from Fated by Teri Terry but I’m currently reading Dead Letter by Chautona Havig. I just started so I’ll share the first line from chapter 2 where I currently am: “Hard benches, spartan furnishings, packed conditions—though she’d purchased a second-class ticket as instructed, Madeline couldn’t help but feel like she’d gotten little better than emigrant car accommodations.” Hope you have a great weekend! Spring is in the air! 🙂

  8. Happy Friday! I love this first line. What an awesome start to a book. On my blog today I shared the first line from Christmas at the Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson: “Brooke Kane knew better than to venture far from home when there was threat of a blizzard.”

  9. Since we are reading the same book AGAIN, I will give the first line of the newest Barbour Collection: Erie Canal Brides:
    Johhnie Alexander’s story- Journey of the Heart.

    Charity Sinclair furrowed her brow as she read what she’d written for the umpteenth time.

    Happy reading!

  11. I just finished a clean, but a non-Christian book and it turned out to be terrific, and I rather suspect the author is a Christian. Called The Auctioneer by DJ Williams. The first chapter is basically the prologue, very short and chapter 2 is where the story begins. This is the first line: ‘After twenty-four years of unconditional love, followed by two weeks of disbelief, I stood beside a fresh mound of dirt wondering if I’d been a good son.’

      1. Addendum and update: DJ Williams is a Christian author (and producer, director), missionary, worship leader in the 4 Square Church, and continues different ministries in different venues. Also wrote, ‘The Disillusioned,’ and ‘Waking Lazarus.’ 🙂

  13. This is what I’m reading too!

    I’ve shared the first line from Crystal Walton’s “Romancing the Conflicted Cowboy” on my blog, but since I’m reading Carolyn Miller’s “A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh” right now, I’ll share the first line of the scene I’m up to (in chapter 5):

    Gideon looked up from the specimen and almost dropped it.

    Have a great weekend 🙂
