Cynthia Ruchti is a master at crafting characters you feel like you know. It seems like Josiah and Karin become your personal friends as you see their story unravel ... as well as their marriage. Josiah knows all the right words - he's helped others with marriage struggles - but when he sees his own marriage falling apart, he has no idea how to fix it. The story becomes even more interesting when Karin's life is in danger. The path back to healing is a long one with many lessons for the reader. It is not preachy, but tells a story that many will be able to relate to. Ruchti keeps the reader interested and turning pages goes way too quickly as you near the end.....you don't want the friendship with Josiah and Karin to end.

Once Upon A Time Bible
I was asked to look at this new Bible and Bible storybook for younger readers and I have been pleasantly surprised. The Once Upon a Time Bible is a great way to show kids "The Bible is not a fairy tale. Every great story happened once upon a time." So the editors are showing how the stories are true but it is presented with pictures that show fairytale settings. I think girls, especially, will love it. It is printed in the New International Reader's Version and the pictures throughout really make it attractive to our younger readers.
The Once Upon a Time Storybook Bible takes many of the popular Bible stories and begins each with "Once Upon a Time". They impress upon children in the opening that all of the stories are true but that they are going to begin as all good stories do with "Once Upon a Time." It's creative and fun - and maybe will open up new avenues to discuss after you read the familiar stories with your little ones.
