Cape Refuge by Terri Blackstock - Book Review

Cape Refuge by Terri Blackstock
Zondervan 2002

Reviewed by Diane Busch

You might think this is just a typical Murder mystery until you notice that the author weaves themes of faith into the story and practically shared the gospel in the end. Really good Christian fiction. 

Takes place on an island (Cape Refuge) near Tybee Island off the coast of Savannah, GA.

This is a motivational book about moving forward in life and leaving the past behind.  It was more business/motivational and less preachy than I expected.

Includes lots of practical advice and wisdom from a life well lived and devoted to Christ.

Chasing Vines by Beth Moore - book review

 This book is honest and personal and she also encourages others in their christian journey.  She isn’t too “preachy” and she uses raw examples from her life to develop points.  Her style is inspirational and motivational while also being your friend.
