Tyndale House Cover Art & Book News ~ Mid 2019

Given how many friends ask me for book recommendations, I understand not everyone is as enthusiastic as I am about matching the perfect book to a reader’s preference. To that end, I thought it might be helpful to share some of my matchmaking with you, especially those of you who may still be working through their Christmas shopping list!
