Trails & Targets by Kelly Eileen Hake
5.0
Trails and Targets by Kelly Eileen Hake is a fun loving story that is the beginning of a new adventure series. Beatrix Darlyn, who is an amazing sharp shooter, is the oldest of the four Darlyn sisters. You have to love that play on words. Each of her sisters has a different skill: trick horse riding, knife throwing, archery, and roping. Grey Wilder is passing through town, but stops for awhile to help out the Daryln sisters with their financial troubles. Grey deals with his past and tries to find a way to fit Beatrix into his future.
This is a great story with many twists and turns to keep you engaged. Ms. Hake has interesting characters that struggle with issues of accepting God's love and following Him. She weaves their past heartaches into a future that allows for them to more fully experience God's love and experience the freedom that only comes from following Him. Ms. Hake has a wonderful way of drawing her reader into the old west and gives you characters you can root for.
I highly recommend this book.

Motivate Your Child: A Christian Parent's Guide to Raising Kids Who Do What They Need to Do Without Being Told by Scott Turansky, Joanne Miller Rn
I have enjoyed reading Motivate Your Child. I feel that the authors have something different to say that adds to the conversation on parenting. They talk about the conscience and how different children react to discipline when they make mistakes. I discovered that my daughter reacts differently than either my husband or myself to learning she has made a mistake. That has made a great difference in my parenting her, and I feel like our relationship has improved since reading this book. I feel for the first time I am making some progress with her, and reaching her. It has empowered me as a parent. My husband said this alone made the book worth reading.
Motivate Your Child has many examples of conversations other parents have had with their children to help them become responsible adults. I found this very helpful, and it has given me ideas on how to start good conversations with my kids. I liked the variety of stories and the different kind of families they used in their examples. The authors do a great job painting visual pictures that help clarify their points.
Lastly, what I love about this book is that it is a relational book. This is not a get your kids to do what you want in 5 easy steps. The authors talk about working with your child's heart, showing your child how they can change, and how you can guide your child to become the person God wants them to be. I highly recommend reading it.
