"Don't quit, and don't give up. The reward is just around the corner. And in times of doubt or times of joy, listen for that still, small voice. Know that God has been there from the beginning -- and he will be there until the end."
Are you a fan of HGTV's Fixer Upper?
I am not a big fan of TV, but I am hooked on watching Joanna and Chip Gaines find homes needing some love and watching them breathe new life into them. I'm pretty sure I didn't find "Fixer Upper" until the end of their second season, so while everyone else was eagerly awaiting a new season, I was catching up. I couldn't get enough of this charming couple. I even convinced my husband to watch an episode... now, he is the one turning on the television Tuesday evenings to watch reruns.
If you are a fan of the show, you are going to want to pick-up of copy of their book, The Magnolia Story. When you open the cover you step into their love story and journey from its beginning to where they are now. When you read the last page I believe you will have a greater appreciation for their success.
I love the way this book is written. The language is simple, it is easy to follow, and the voices are honest. I think my favorite thing about this book is they joyfully acknowledge their faith and God's presence in their life, relationship, family and success. I find this refreshing.

If I had not been a fan before I read this book, I would be now.
Tonight I'm settling in to finish The Light Between Oceans. It is November's selection
for both of my book groups. What are you reading?
Happy reading friends!
