Saddle Up & Ride Along!

Please join us at the Inspirational Romance book clubs network (you can join by clicking on the group in the sidebar on this site--under Pastor Pete Wilson's picture). ADDED Saturday a.m.: BTW--I just checked and this book is selling for a steal on Amazon, under $8.00! It's worth every penny, too! [so get yours now!]
Also, just to provide full disclosure here, there are some obvious subliminal messages laced throughout this post--following them, I must warn you, may result in you buying Mary's books, laughing so hard you fall out of chairs and break your tailbone, start giggling helplessly in church if you let your mind wander to her stories, holing up yourself in your backyard shed to escape reality and live vicariously through Belle Tanner--not that I've done any of those things...lately...or still...
We're reading Mary Connealy's THE HUSBAND TREE [you want this book! Get it now, while supplies last]. Several folks hadn't received their books by April 1st, so we adjusted our book club reading to start Saturday, April 17th [meet us there, you know you want to].
If you've already read this book come on over and join us in the chat!
If Mary's schedule permits, she'll drop by to chat with the book club (we all just leave comments/replies so it's very convenient for our schedules), but she's all over the map with book signings right now, so we'll see if we can lasso her to join us here and there [but you know she'll drop by just to talk to YOU]. She's also giving away one of her previously released books at the end of the book club's reading of THE HUSBAND TREE, so come join us! All you have to do to be entered is chat up a storm with us on the book club for THE HUSBAND TREE [you'll wish you were walking in Belle Tanner's boots--and if you're a man, you'll be thankful you're not under her husband tree, lol].
And if you think Mary's books are funny, you should also sign up for her newsletter here, they're a hoot! She doesn't send them out very often--only when she's releasing a new book, but that's okay, it doesn't mean she doesn't love you, just means she needs to write faster (wink!)
I was not paid or compensated in exchange for the subliminal tracks in this post, but I do enjoy laughing and laughter and that is the contagious result of reading Mary's books. I hope you know this for a personal fact, otherwise, you have my sympathy.
Life should be fun and funny when possible (Lord knows there's so much otherwise in the world), so read a Mary Connealy book and laugh, laugh out long and hard, and then tell a friend how much you enjoyed the read.
Lord bless your weekend! And, come meet with us in the book club!
The Word of Promise New Testament Audio Bible by Thomas Nelson

My review of:
The Word of Promise New Testament Audio Bible (NKJV)
Thomas Nelson Publishers
This audio Bible contains 20 CDs of New Testament and a Behind the Scenes DVD. Major motion picture actors provide the voice talent, add are a musical score and sound effects. The CDs & DVD come in a good quality soft-back CD holder. The words are nearly verbatim to the written NKJV, with the only exceptions I found being the words said, or says--those aren't used since we hear the dialogue. Overall, this was a high quality production and my son (as well as my husband & I) enjoy listening to the audio Bible in the car.
The things that kept me from giving this a five star rating...Jim Caviezel reading the parts of Jesus. I was very excited to find out he was involved. I'd heard so many wonderful things about his acting, but unfortunately, it didn't translate to audio very well. His voice sounds strained, as though he's reading for a part in a play rather than bringing Jesus' voice alive. A few of the other actors did the same, read the part--sounds like they're merely reading their lines for the first time. This does not happen with everyone, but enough that it brought the rating down a star, in my opinion.
That being said, I would very much recommend The Word Of Promise New Testament to anyone. It's been great listening to the Bible on CD and I do think others will enjoy it as well.
I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their Book Review Blogger program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
