Narrado con múltiples voces, este relato inspirador ofrece un hermoso ejemplo de cómo construir un impacto duradero, no solo en el ministerio, sino en la vida.

Este aliento para líderes de adoración y seguidores de Miel San Marcos es, sobre todo, un recordatorio de las cosas hermosas que Dios puede hacer con quienes deciden seguirle. Esta historia inspirará tu fe, fortalecerá tu llamado y te recordará que las obras más extraordinarias de Dios a menudo comienzan en casa.

Millions know their music. Few know their story. Join the Morales family on their journey from the small town of San Marcos, Guatemala to the global stage as they share how God has used their faith and their music to draw others to Him. Told through multiple voices, this inspiring narrative offers a beautiful example of how to build lasting impact, not just in ministry but in life.

Como en el cielo is a celebration of God’s goodness in ordinary days and defining moments as brothers Josh, Luis, and Samy reflect on how God used their public successes as well as their private losses to shape their hearts for Him.

This encouragement for worship leaders and fans of Miel San Marcos is most of all a reminder of the beautiful things God can do with those who choose to follow Him. This story will inspire your faith, strengthen your calling, and remind you that God’s most extraordinary works often begin at home.

Mis Pensamientos/My Thoughts: Solo Dios Puede/Only God Can

Llevo años escuchando la música de Miel San Marcos, así que, cuando vi este libro, supe que tenía que leerlo. Aunque conocía su música, no sabía nada sobre su historia, ¡y vaya! ¡Qué historia es!

La historia comienza con el relato del padre y de ahí sigue hacia los inicios del ministerio. En más de una ocasión, estuve a punto de romper en llanto. También me vi recordado, una y otra vez, de la grandeza de Dios. Nada es imposible para Él. Él puede tomar algo roto y hacerlo nuevo, algo que se manifiesta repetidamente a lo largo de la historia. Este es el testimonio de Miel San Marcos y de cómo Dios los ha sostenido hasta llevarlos al lugar donde se encuentran hoy. Recomiendo encarecidamente que lean su historia y escuchen sus canciones; son un mensaje claro del Dios poderoso, compasivo y amoroso al que servimos.

I have listened to the music of Miel San Marcos for years, so when I saw this book, I knew I had to read it. Although I knew of their music, I didn't know their backstory, and wow! What a story it is! 

The story begins with the father's story and progresses from there to how the ministry began. I found myself almost in tears more than once. I also found myself reminded time and time again of the awesomeness of God. Nothing is impossible for Him. He can take something broken and make it new, which is shown time and time again in the story. This is the testimony of Miel San Marcos and how God has carried them through to where they are now. I highly recommend that you read their story and listen to their songs. They are a clear message of what a powerful, caring, and loving God we serve.

When They Met Again (Letters from Lancaster County Book 2) by Leslie Gould

Book Details: 

Title: When They Met Again 

Series: Letters from Lancaster County Book 2

Author: Leslie Gould

Publisher: Bethany House

Release Date: March 17, 2026

Pages: 359 

Genre: Amish Romance

Book Description:

It's love at first sight for Adam Slaybaugh, yet while Joanna Grebel finds him attractive and is intrigued when he declares his interest, she's less certain of the potential for a romantic future together. Instead, she proposes they be "just friends," but Adam's not willing to settle for anything less than a romantic relationship. In response, he leaves Lancaster County for Florida, and soon after, Joanna begins courting Jacob Byer--someone she deems a much more suitable match.

When Adam returns to Lancaster County years later to pursue a career in his grandparents' successful home renovation business, he finds Joanna suffering from a broken heart. Misunderstandings and matchmaking schemes begin a tender journey of healing and romance--but is Adam's love enough to finally win Joanna over?

My Thoughts: Sweet and Heartwarming

I always enjoy a good romance, and When They Met Again fits the bill completely.

When Joanna and Adam first meet, Adam is smitten, but Joanna isn't on the same page, and even as they continually end up in each other's company, they remain on different sides of the feelings fence. However, unexpected events enter the mix, causing a shift in their relationship. Some of it is painful, some is entertaining, and some is endearing, which makes for a very touching story.

Along with Joanna and Adam are some wonderful and fun characters, as well as a not-so-likeable character, who add much to their story. The story is further enhanced by strong themes of family, faith, love, and second chances, making it a sweet, enjoyable, and heartwarming read.

Book Quote:

As you go through this difficult time, ... Remember, the one who loves and cares for you the most is leading you. I hope you will find encouragement in His guidance and also in the following verse: For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Isaiah 41:13

A Heart on Consignment (The Heart of the Amish) by Mindy Steele

Book Details: 

Title: A Heart on Consignment

Series: The Heart of the Amish

Author: Mindy Steele

Publisher: Barbour Publishing

Release Date: April 1, 2026

Pages: 256 

Genre: Amish Romance/Clean & Wholesome Romance

Book Description:

Love Is Not for Sale

Full of faith, hope, and romance, this series takes you into the Heart of Amish country.

Despite knowing her parents are getting desperate for their only child to marry and give them grandchildren, Salina Stoltzfus is weary of seeking the perfect match. Every time she thinks she has found “the one,” he marries another.

The best way to forget you are the last woman any man in Havenlee, Indiana, wants to hitch his buggy too is to find something passionate to focus on. When the area is overrun with donations after a tragic storm, Salina suggests opening a consignment shop. The deacon supports the idea and offers his visiting nephew to help set things up.

After the embarrassment of having his fiancée call off their wedding, Seth Weaver takes his mother’s advice to leave Kentucky to stay with his uncle for a while. Unfortunately, Seth knows nothing about building furniture in his uncle’s factory, which is the only reason he agrees to help ready the consignment shop next door—not because of the little chatterbox working inside.

When Salina’s parents are caught meddling in her love life, she comes up with a crazy idea that might gain her some time and space. Could it be the road to happiness is paved with good intentions and epic fails—until we cross paths when the one made especially for us?

My Thoughts: Absolutely Wonderful!

This is such a wonderful, tug-at-your-heartstrings story! The characters are amazing, and the author’s way of describing interactions and scenes makes you feel everything as if you were the characters. 


Seth is broken and broken-hearted, which makes his reasons for going to Havenlee totally understandable. My heart went out to him completely as I hoped for healing. And Salina was the right person to help with that.

I absolutely loved Salina, who has also experienced her share of heartbreak. She is quirky and unique, incredibly caring and sensitive, and she feels others' plights deeply. While some don’t agree with her ways, they are just the right medicine that Seth needs.

The story is full of compassion, faith, overcoming struggles, love, and healing, along with a lesson on helping those in need. And of course, there were those annoying characters that you just wanted to smack upside the head a time or two, and those that put roadblocks in Salina and Seth’s path. While they were annoying, they also contributed much to the story, which even made me smile a time or two. Those elements, and so much more, are what make A Heart on Consignment such an amazing story. It will stay with you long after reading it and should not be missed.

Book Quote: The thing about assuming you knew what was best for your future was that God tended to knock you down a notch and remind you that He was still in charge.

One funeral. Three orphaned boys. And two hearts torn between duty and desire.

Amelia Delagrange lost more than a sister. She lost her best friend. No one knew her heart like Mary did. Now with three boys needing her, Amelia must muster up the strength to become a mother to them. She cannot let their uncle take them, even if her only option is to marry a man she doesn’t love. What choice does she have?

One quick decision is about to change the lives of many.

My Thoughts: Absolutely Outstanding

Amelia's March Arrangement is absolutely outstanding! Author Mindy Steele's descriptive writing draws you in and connects you to the characters right from the start. Amelia, Owen, and all of the characters are so true to life, and the realism of their situation had my emotions all over the place. I laughed, held my breath, and got teary-eyed on more than one occasion as I deeply felt what they felt. 

The story also drove home a powerful lesson on faith. Yes, we plan things in our own way, but God's plan is always greater. Seeking God's way is something Amelia and Owen found themselves doing over and over again. The result is a beautiful, heart-stirring story of healing and love that I highly recommend.

Ambushed in the Night

Book Details: 

Title: Ambushed in the Night

Author: Rhonda Starnes

Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense

Release Date: January 27, 2026

Pages: 204 

Genre: Clean & Wholesome/Christian Suspense

Book Description:

To protect innocent targets…
he will risk his life.

When his scared neighbor appears on his doorstep seeking refuge from a gunman, former police officer Maxwell Prescott is determined to shield the single mother and her toddler daughter. With Brenda Granger’s witness-protection location compromised and her late husband’s ties to a drug-trafficking ring placing a target on her back, Maxwell is the only person she can trust. But with threats at every turn, Maxwell’s protection skills are put to the ultimate test, and outrunning danger could be beyond their reach. Can they evade lethal assailants determined to silence Brenda, or will their pursuers lead them straight into an inescapable trap?

My Thoughts: Awesome Page-Turner

This story is one awesome page-turner! The entire story kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. While the suspense kept me turning pages, the hope-filled inspirational faith messages deeply touched my heart and kept me reflecting. 

However, the relationship between Brenda and Max was the icing on the cake. Yes, the suspense and intrigue were top-notch, but the way the author wove in their relationship was beautiful and touching. Add to that a very special little princess and a very smart K-9, and the whole mix results in a beautiful story that is a definite must-read. 

Book Quote:                                                                                However, I'm quickly learning that sometimes in life we're not dealt the hand we think we should be given, but that's okay. As long as we remember God is in control, nothing else matters.

Raging Waters (Elements of Danger Book #2) by Dana Mentink

Book Details: 

Title: Raging Waters 

Series: Elements of Danger Book #2

Author: Dana Mentink

Publisher: Revell

Release Date: March 3, 2026

Pages: 336  

Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense Romance

Book Description:

As the dam crumbles and water sweeps across the terrain, their battle for justice and survival is just beginning.

When Mackenzie Bardine's brother Aaron was murdered in a drug deal gone wrong, she started a true crime podcast dedicated to exposing "Bullseye," the drug kingpin responsible. But her protective heart has never let go of the blame she places on herself and Aaron's best friend, Gideon Landry. On the run to the wilds of Washington to chase a recent lead, she meets none other than Gideon himself.

While conducting a wilderness survival class in remote Washington, Gideon never expected to cross paths with Mackenzie, and he's certainly not interested in helping her after he's already declined to participate in her vigilante podcasting. He carries a mountain of guilt about Aaron's fatal choices, but not for the reasons Mackenzie suspects.

As killers begin to circle Mackenzie like sharks, it's clear to Gideon she's in over her head, and in light of his troubled past with her brother, he can't bring himself to ignore her perilous situation. Then a flood threatens the town, turning their investigation into a race to escape the raging waters and the wrath of a powerful kingpin who wants to sink them both.

My Thoughts: Captivating

Raging Waters is an absolutely amazing action-packed story! It captivated me from the start.  It had me holding my breath on more than one occasion and turning pages as fast as I could to see what would happen next. The combination of suspense, intrigue, romance, and inspiration all rolled into one made it even more captivating.

Mackenzie and Gideon's backstory was a difficult one, but watching as it changed was fantastic. While I could understand Mackenzie and why she felt the way she did, it took some time for me to like her. However, Gideon immediately captured my heart. His faith and caring attitude brought much to the story and greatly impacted his and Mackenzie's relationship as well as everything they went through. 

If you like a sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat story blended with romance and faith, Raging Waters (such an appropriate title) is definitely for you. And if you don't, I highly recommend you try it out. You will not be disappointed.

An Amish Country Lullaby (An Amish Antiques Shop Romance Book 2) by Patricia Johns

Book Details: 

Title: An Amish Country Lullaby

Series: An Amish Antiques Shop Romance Book 2

Author: Patricia Johns

Publisher: Harlequin Heartwarming

Release Date: February 26, 2026

Pages:  334 

Genre: Clean & Wholesome Romance

Book Description:

A friend from her past…
A new dream for their future?


Single dad Curtis Moore has returned to Apfelkuchen, Pennsylvania, with a dream to revitalize the town—if only he can unite its Amish and English residents. When local businesswoman Hope Taylor offers to care for his spirited toddler, Lucy, he jumps at the chance. Hope figures this is exactly the experience she needs. Not only is she planning to open a day care, but she’s expecting her first baby—her late husband’s child. As tensions rise over his development plans, Curtis and Hope grow closer—and they must decide if the heart of the town’s future might just lie in the growing love between them.

My Thoughts: Heartwarming

An Amish Country Lullaby is a heartwarming second-chance story that, with the help of a mischievous little escape artist, reconnects Hope and Curtis. Each of them has had a lot to deal with, and this played flawlessly into their reconnection and developing relationship, making it deeply touching. 

Along with their relationship is the importance of community, which includes a lesson in how what we think is a perfect master plan may not be. This part of the story had me wondering as to how it would be resolved, and I must say that the resolution was spot on. It really drove home how trusting the Lord and seeking His will and guidance vs. seeking our own way is always the best.

The blend of romance, faith, and inspiration, along with the contributions of the escape artist, makes this a touching must-read.
