Summary: The Sisters Circle
Review: Again, the characters of this novel jump right off the page. The brillance of Nancy Moser being paired with the delightful Vonette Bright is just the RIGHT pairing for this series. God's hand is evident even there, just as it is in the story of these women who are brought together in extraordinary circumstances to meet unconventional expectations and situations. God-incidences indeed! Finishing the last page is a disappointment only because the next book in the series is not yet in my hands. Forget what the critics have to say about things being "too preachy"! Nancy and Vonette wrote what God has laid upon their hearts, and what women need to read/hear in order to be encouraged in their walk with the Lord. No one character in the book is 'perfect'; do you really know anyone who is? Other than the Lord Jesus, himself. I, personally, look forward to every other book in this series and I hope there will be a lot. These gals (Moser & Bright) need to spend lots of time together in order to feed those of us out here who are hungry for every word. The idea of Sisters Circles being formed around the world, and linked by these books and the discussions that they breed is a delightful venture. I challenge anyone who reads this book not to WANT to be a part of a Sisters Circle herself/himself. Oops, maybe that's the next way Moser & Bright will go, bringing about a Brotherhood of Guys....who knows, but I know I want to be able to read it!

Summary: Sister Circle Series
Review: I bought these books on a list recommendation - sometimes these are not to my taste but I got a winner here - I loved the entire series, they're well written, the characters are real and I found my own faith challenged in the process - I didn't want any of the books to end. Please can we have more!!!!

Summary: A Face Off With Some Real Women!
Review: Poor Evelyn Peerbaugh's ne'er-do-well husband has died and left her with nothing but a paid-off house and a few empty bedrooms--and just enough cash to bury him. I was a little angry at Evelyn when the story opened, for being so dumb as to let him get away with such a stunt. Cashing in all their life insurance and investing in one of his hair-brained schemes without her knowing about it? How could she be so trusting of the crum? I got over her weakness soon enough, though, as she pulls her act together and opens a rooming house, taking in women with hardly a shred of evidence that they'll work out--but with a new-found confidence in her ability to make her own way in the world.
It's not long before each of eight females are forced to confront their own foibles--and each others--and learn to connect with each other in honest and challenging ways. In the end, Evelyn isn't the only one who's stretched and has reached new heights--every one of them is a changed person. If you like stories about real women with unique, quirky personalities, assorted talents, and a propensity for good-hearted meddling in each other's lives, you'll enjoy The Sister Circle. I've read all of Moser's novels, and this one stands out for its finely tuned character development. None of these characters is even close to "perfect"--but we end up loving them all.

Summary: You won't be able to put it down!
Review: This book is long, but you will be drawn to it like a magnet! The characters in this book are so "true-to-life" you will recognize yourself or someone you know in each of the characters. Their dynamics are a pure joy to discover. These authors have created a wonderful book and I trust there will be many more to come. The series reminds me of the series with Blackstock and Lahaye, _A Time to Embrace_, etc. Both the Blackstock/Lahaye series and the Bright/Moser series are about women developing friendships with each other, and also finding and trusting God in their lives. A perfect combination of elements! It's refreshing to read a good book that is neither a mystery nor a romance book, though there is an element of romance in it! Thanks gals for a great read! Looking forward to picking up a copy of the next in the series! May God's hands continually be on your work!

Summary: awesome book
Review: This is one of the best fiction books I have ever read. I have read all three of the series, the fourth is coming out in April. The first one is the best in my opinion. I love the honesty of the characters. Mae's and Tessa's quirkiness is a bit annoying, but hilarious. It is very interesting to see how 5 females of varying personalities learn to get along in a boardinghouse without going crazy. I do think occationally they do get into each other's business to much and demand to know everything so they don't break the "circle'. It kinda reminds me of a sorority- a bit creepy! That is the only part I sort of disliked. Eveyone is entitled to a bit of privacy. I love how they all change through God's grace and their desire to connect with each other is amazing. Since reading the book, I have had many daydreams about how fun it would be to live in a boarding house with kind women. If I start a book club at my church someday like I hope to, this will be the first book we read. I loaned it to some of my female relatives, and they loved it too. This is a terrific book to share with your female loved ones. Anyone 18 to 80 would enjoy this fine piece of work. Nancy Moser and Vonnette Bright are soooooo incredibly talented. I don't want this series to ever end. I hope they continue writing books together, even if they discontinue writing more sister circle ones.

Summary: Sister Circle, A Great Book!
Review: This is truly one of the best written fiction books I've read in a long time. I've read both "Sister Circle" and its sequel, "Round the Corner", and they are both excellent reads. The sequel is as good as the first, and I find I am VERY eager for the next installment in this series! This is Vonette Bright's first try at fiction, on the advice of her late husband, Dr. Bill Bright. I certainly hope this will be the first of many fiction books she writes! Her husband would be very proud to see her success!
