Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 507: A Chat with Sarah Hanks
byChautona Havig

If you love a gripping story with solid faith content and a bit of time travel (who doesn’t love time travel, right?), look no further than Sarah Hanks’ Time Sailors series. Listen in as we discuss the second book in her series, Braving Fiery Waters.

I loved the first book in this series, so I’m confident this second one will be even better!

Braving Fiery Waters by Sarah Hanks

Her husband died in a fire. Now she’s heading straight into one. Marina Stone planned an ideal family vacation, perfect for reconnecting with her two teenagers after their father’s death. But those plans go drastically away when she time sails to the White Cloud in the year 1859. Now she must face her greatest fears and complete a mystery mission before she can return to her life and children. But what if they no longer truly need her or want her?

A family vacation to South Haven, Michigan, was the last thing Aiden wanted for his summer. Having just been dumped by his girlfriend and ticket to his future, he’d rather numb his mind with adventure. But when he connects with Nevaeh, a girl whose beauty is only matched by her faith, he might find there’s no place he’d rather be. When his sister runs away, he must work with Nevaeh to help guide her home. In this second book in the Time Sailors series, new friends join the old in a faith-filled time travel novel you won’t soon forget.

Learn more about Sarah on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

If "decluttering" was one of your goals for the Ne If "decluttering" was one of your goals for the New Year, I've got a book for you. By the time you finish Confessions of a De-Cluttering Junkie, you'll either be inspired to get rid of those extra three can openers, pay stubs from 1982, and sixty-three pounds of junk toys that you didn't even buy, or...
You might decide that it's too dangerous to attempt. Either way, you're sure to get a laugh. Purrlock the cat will be sure of that.

One of my favorite characters is a grumpy, rather One of my favorite characters is a grumpy, rather harsh curmudgeon who shows up in quite a few Fairbury books. Neal Kirkpatrick. I told his story in New Year's Revolutions, but that cover and title never worked for the story, so he got a makeover. We all need a refresh now and then, right?
Redeeming Neal Jerk-Patrick is more than a comedic look at one man's entire life overhauling because he fell for a gal who loves Jesus before all else. But that's a pretty fun part of it.
If you've read Christmas Stalkings and ever wondered how Neal got those kittens... it's all in here!
