HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:

With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:

But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:

And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Psalm 136 KJV

The Burning of Rosemont Abbey Naomi Stephens

               

A MUST READ!

This has quickly made it towards the TOP of My Favorite Books of All Time List! It is SO good I long for this to become a series and return to these characters again and again!  Maybe a follow up with the leads getting married and a mystery around their wedding and then another with them married! LOL!  Sadly I think it's a stand alone, but it's better than a favorite tv show and you just want more and more!  I LOVE THE HUMOR, it has a GREAT MYSTERY, GREAT ROMANCE, and ABSOLUTELY GREAT CHARACTERS!

The only negative for me is that I would have liked more Bible verses and maybe some more prayers, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE VICAR AND HE BRINGS THE BEST FAITH SCENES!  But as I was reading it for the second time in a row I realized why I wanted MORE prayers: The characters relied on their own strength and ability too much and needed to pray and rely on God's strength and guidance more.  

Overall this is such a unique plot, with hilarious and wonderful character dialogue, and a fantastic twisty mystery that keeps you turn page after page.  You'll want to read this one again and again or at least I will...and have! <3
