This book is a captivating story, packed with adventure in the desert
Southwest and in the rivers and lakes of the Midwest USA. But
it is also a goldmine of spiritual wisdom for teenagers. The mystery
that permeates the story is compelling, and the thrilling ending may
call for a tissue or two.

Audio Book Blast – The Voice of Divine Love by Arlene Dayrit
I will be sharing a lot of dark and gruesome this month, so I wanted to share The Voice of Divine Love by Arlene Dayrit to let you now, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
“The truth of God’s love is a message many of us have always known, but we need to be reminded of it again and again. In our limited understanding, we have difficulty comprehending it.
God has loved you with an everlasting love, and yet no matter how deeply we feel him in our lives, the word of God often goes unheard. This is why, in the noise of the modern world, the simplicity of his message is all too easily lost. Yet while our prayers have no answers we can hear, that does not mean God has no voice.
The Voice of Divine Love brings his word to you, brings you the light of God’s acceptance, the comfort of his presence and love, and a guiding hand to live your life in his service. It is a chance to hear his voice amongst the raucous chatter of the world and choose to follow his way to righteousness and eternal love.
With this book, written in the hope of drawing others closer to God, helping them understand the depth of his love, and narrated as in the voice of the Almighty, you are provided a retreat in times of stress; not to simply hide from your problems, but to find their true purpose, alongside the purpose in all things. Close your eyes and rest, find solace in knowing that, even when you are alone, he is always at your side, guiding you and taking care of you, in ways no other can.

MY CURRENT STATUS.
I spent a lot of time blogging ahead. My hubby, Mr Wonderful, has a lot of time off the last six weeks of the year, so I used this challenge as motivation to get ahead, instead of scrambling trying to put something together in between the FUN we have traveling, golfing, and hanging out with family. I feel good about where I ended up. How about you?
- Nov:Â 26
- Dec:Â 17
- Total:Â 43
Now the real challenge is to stay ahead! 🙂

What do Elvis and Puzzles have in Common – The Enigmatologist by Ben Adams @bentadams
![Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000039_00008]](https://i0.wp.com/www.promotionalbooktours.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Promo.Cover_-199x300.jpg?resize=199%2C300)
Twenty-something, John Abernathy is disillusioned. His job as a private investigator is unfulfilling, and he can’t find work in his chosen field, Enigmatology, the study and design of puzzles. He is about to quit when the National Enquirer calls. A woman in Las Vegas, New Mexico sent them a photo of someone who’s supposed to have died 35 years ago—Elvis Aaron Presley. And they need John to investigate it.
When the Elvis impersonator, Al Leadbelly, is murdered, John investigates, finding Air Force colonel, Alvin Hollister—convinced Leadbelly has information regarding Elvis’s death—at the crime scene conducting his own investigation. John discovers great-great-great grandfather’s journal—unearthing a conspiracy entwining Elvis, shape-shifting aliens, and Mary Todd Lincoln. When John finds Leadbelly, alive and wearing a sequined jumpsuit, John must help him escape before Colonel Hollister finds him, and discover if Leadbelly is really Elvis, an obsessed fan, or something more.
