Happy New Year! As the New Year begins why don’t
you pick up a book by a new to you author, topic
or genre? We have three selections highlighted
this month.
Our first fiction selection is the first book in the
Remnant Trilogy--Noah Man of Destiny. Written
by Tim Chaffey, the content manager for the Ark
Encounter and Creation Museum. The reader
travels back to the pre-Flood world and what
Noah’s life could have been like. “Non-fiction
portions at the end of the book help explain
historical concepts and provide sections that
deal with issues or concerns that might arise in
the account.” Found the story interesting and
an easy read. Our library also has book 2 and 3
of the trilogy.
Our second fiction selection is Shadows of the
Past by Emily Thomas. This story takes place
in Blue Hill, Pennsylvania in a charming Victorian
house that has been turned into a library by the
main character. Mystery and history come together
as an old map that was to have been used by Lewis
and Clark is discovered. How did it come to be
there and what does it mean?
Our third selection is the Reluctant Pilgrim by
Enuma Okoro. The author is American born
of Nigerian parents who when 6 traveled back
to live in Africa for much of her childhood before
returning to the U.S. The subtitle tells the central
theme of the book...A Moody Somewhat Self-
Indulgent Introvert’s Search for Spiritual Com-
munity. Enuma writes with insight, humor and
honesty about her search for a church community
and her experiences when she finds one.
Happy reading!
