I noticed that they had five Heartsong Presents titles, however, they were old, published back in 2005. I&#8217;ve been told that some Family Christian Bookstores stock the new Heartsong Presents titles prominently in their stores, with an end cap. However, I&#8217;ve never seen current Heartsong Presents titles in Christian or secular bookstores. Since I have a book coming out with them, it would please me to see the book in the store at the same time that the bookclub members receive their titles.<\/p>\n<p>However, I did see PLENTY of Barbour&#8217;s state-themes anthologies. I also saw a few of Barbour&#8217;s women&#8217;s fiction titles. <\/p>\n<p>Randy Alcorn, the author of the non-fiction title <em>Heaven<\/em>, has a novel out. I didn&#8217;t realize that. It&#8217;s called Deception. I&#8217;ve never read <em>Heaven<\/em>, since I&#8217;m mainly a fiction gal, however, it has crossed my mind to read this title. Maybe I&#8217;ll consider reading it when and if I ever get finished with The Purpose Driven Life. I also wonder whose idea it was for Randy Alcorn to pen a novel? Did his publisher ask him to pursue it since he was so popular in non-fiction, and this would be another avenue of writing for Randy to explore? <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of non-fiction authors penning fiction novels, I purchased a novel my Michelle Mckinney Hammond entitled <em>The Last Ten Percent<\/em>. Ms. Hammond usually writes Christian non-fiction about dating, being single, and relationships. I wonder why she felt compelled to write a novel? I&#8217;ll definately post a review of the novel whenever I get around to reading it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Thr3e<\/em>, which was released as a movie last January is already out on DVD. I was surprised that it was available so soon after it&#8217;s theatrical release.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to The Last Ten Percent, the other books I purchased were:<br \/><em>Sticks And Stones by Susan Meissner<\/em><br \/>and for my toddler son: <em>All Things Bright And Beautiful<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cecelia Dowdy<br \/>www.ceceliadowdy.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I visited this store today and throughly browsed through the fiction section.
