Dive Deep: 20 Days with God at Sea

by Sr. Orianne Pietra René Dyck, FSP

Part Scripture study, part science textbook, part prayer journal, Dive Deep is a beautiful and engaging book for young people to spend time with Scripture, learn more about the natural world, reflect, and pray. This book is suited to the family or the classroom. I plan on having my 12-year-old son work through the book this summer.

Uneasy Street

Uneasy Street by Becky Wade is the third book in her Sons of Scandal series. Of the three, this one wasn’t my favorite, but enemies-to-lovers is always a hard sell for me. I was, eventually, mostly won over to the hero, Max. This book wrapped up several threads in the series, including family matriarch Fiona’s story. There are a couple of mysteries in this one, so there’s a lot going on in addition to the romance between wildly successfully entrepreneur Max and his former partner-turned-etiquette expert, Sloane. Some interesting twists and a light Christian theme help make this an enjoyable contemporary romance.
