Book #2.......2007-08-13
This was Saidie's story with Morgan Mackeage.
It was well written and nicely edited. Moves right along with two very likeable characters.
Nice romance!
Not as good as the first book, but still enjoyable.......2006-02-01
In the second book in Janet Chapman's Highland Trilogy, we get to learn more about Morgan MacKeage, brother of Grey (hero of CHARMING THE HIGHLANDER).
It has now been six years since that fateful day when a wizard propelled Morgan and nine other Highlanders from 12th century Scotland to 21st century Maine. Although he and his kinsmen have learned to survive in this strange world, Morgan remains lonely much to the wizard's worry. One day when Morgan finds some ribbon marker around the MacKeage land, the wizard knew that evil surrounds the area; however, he also knew that those ribbons will lead Morgan to the woman who will finally give meaning to the lonely warrior's life. And what an exciting first meeting it would be for Morgan and the "ribbon lady"!
While surveying the valley, Sadie Quill stumbles upon a very naked Morgan. Fascinated, she ends up taking photos of him but it wasn't long before Morgan realizes what she was doing. Shocked at being found, she runs, but Morgan quickly catches up and Sadie thinks him a maniac. When he finally lets her go, Sadie runs faster than the speed of light, but only to realize shortly that the blind date that's been set up by her mother would be with "Mr Nude (but oh so sexy) Maniac" himself. And so the battle of wills begins...
LOVING THE HIGHLANDER is an enjoyable follow up to the first book. Morgan is an alpha-male just like his older brother and delightfully cheeky and irresistible. I loved how he unnerves Sadie and tries to rile her up. But what I liked the most was how he ultimately convinces her of her beauty despite her physical scars. Those provide some truly tender moments that are the best parts of the story.
Fun and entertaining, it was also enjoyable to read how the old wizard Daar plays his magic again to ensure that Morgan and Sadie will see that they belong together, just as he has done with the first book's main characters.
Adventure, romance and naked men.......2005-09-02
There is gold to be found in the mountains of Maine and Mercedes "Sadie" Quill is going to find it and fulfill her late father's dream. Hired by a consortium of local businessmen to map out the surrounding wilderness for a future nature park, Sadie is also determined to fulfill her father's quest and find a long rumored source of gold in the area. Physically scarred and emotionally wounded by the fire that had killed her younger sister and hastened her father's death, Sadie shies away from men and prefers the solitude of working in the mountains. That all changes one morning when Sadie inadvertently stumbles across a man swimming in a lake. A very naked and gorgeous man. What does a red-blooded young woman do when confronted by such a sight? She watches...and takes pictures.
Morgan MacKeage is a man who has traveled a long way. 800 years to be exact. Plucked by a wizard with an agenda out of the 12th century along with his brother and several other highlanders, Morgan has had to learn to survive and live in the modern age. When the wizard Daar warns him of evil forces in the area, Morgan believes it may have something to do with the ribbon markers he has been finding all over the valley. Resolved to protect and keep hidden the secrets of his valley, Morgan is determined to drive those responsible away. That all changes one morning when Morgan, out for a swim in the lake, realizes he is being watched. What does a red-blooded, naked young man to do when confronted with such a realization? He chases down the Peeping Thomas -- or Thomasina, in this case -- ties her up and kisses her. Yes, perhaps living in the 21st century isn't so bad after all.
Shaken, bewildered and more than a tad turned on by her encounter with the gorgeous, nude maniac, Sadie is fairly sure she'll never see him again. Going home to visit her mother, she's in for more shocks. There's a tall, naked stranger in the kitchen and her mother tells her she's pregnant. Humoring her mother, Sadie agrees to go on a double date with her mother's lover and his cousin only to find out that her date is none other than her own Naked Wild Man.
Thus begins a most diverting tale of the clash of the sexes. Sadie is a strong, independent heroine who hides a heart filled with guilt and sorrow. Morgan is your typical warrior male who has found himself in a more peaceful time. Seeking a new challenge, Morgan finds it in Sadie and their encounters are raucous, uninhibited and sexy. Those following the series will be delighted to see the meddling wizard Daar still at it, as well as catch up with the other time traveling highlanders.

Not unique.......2004-09-09
I have read all three books in this series, and they pretty much repeat them selves. A group of Scottish warriors from the 12th century get pulled forward in time by a wizard. They all meet (in the 3 books) 21st century woman and fall in love. The characters have no depth, the storyline just doesn't hold together. To many events are always happening together to try to make the story interesting, but they don't. They just seem haphazard, and all this action takes away from the characters. Instead of giving them a personality so the reader can understand their actions, Chapman throws them into strange adventures, and you don't understand why they act the way they do.
Not the best, just superficial. Try instead a Julie Garwood book, or any Christina Dodd.
charming Highlander time travel romance.......2004-04-29
In 1200 AD during a clan battle in the Scottish Highlands, the Druid wizard Father Daar casts a spell that accidentally sends several MacBain and MacKeage warriors into the twenty-first century to include the MacKeage brothers Greylen and Morgan. During the chaos of time transformation, Daar lost his magical staff in a Maine pond. Since arriving and settling in their new century, Greylen, now known as Michael, has married his modern day lover (see CHARMING THE HIGHLANDER).
Morgan worries about the impact that Daar's lost staff has had on the surrounding flora and fauna. When Mercedes Quill begins hiking and marking the area for a wilderness park set aside, Morgan becomes concerned that the Highlander secrets will be revealed. He plans to stop "Sadie" from succeeding, but is shocked by his attraction to her as much as by her obstinate resolve. For Sadie it is an affectionate legacy honoring her late father though she finds the weird Morgan quite a loving distraction.
The second Highlander time travel romance is a charming tale that readers of medieval warriors displaced will appreciate. The key, as with the first novel, is that the Highlanders have had time to adapt to their new century yet have to courageously confront technological things taken for granted by their beloved ones that seem magical to their psyche. The story line is fun to follow as the living creatures by the magical pond add depth to a delightful "battle" of the sexes. With novels like these two MacBain tales, Janet Chapman shows she is a talent that sub-genre fans value.

Love Comes Softly review.......2007-09-30
This series is awesome. They are so easy to read that you just flow. The only complaint is skipping in the years but you could not begin to read all of the years i guess. Very hard to put down once you start reading.
Love Comes Softly Pack.......2007-07-25
I enjoyed reading these books for content and because they were very easy to read. They were written in a comprehensive language that allowed the reader to flow quickly through its content.
Love Comes Softly Books 1-4.......2007-05-07
Good strong moral values are taught in this series. Easy reading gives you an idea of what it was like to live in the 1800's including travel, homelife, and strong work ethics. It takes you back to a slower pace of life. These books are worth reading.
Refreshing!!!.......2007-05-07
I bought all the movies and all the books for my Mom (83) and she absolutly loves them, she read all 8 books in about a week, said she "just couldnt put them down"!! Highly reccomended!!
Heartwarming and soulful!.......2007-05-06
The Love Comes Sotfly books are wonderful! The characters jump out at you and come alive. They are much better than the Hallmark movies, and it was fun to read the differences and follow the lives of Clark, Marty and their children through the pages. Read the Prairie Legacy also by Janette Oak, they continue the story of Clark and Marty. What a wonderful set of books, I really reccommend them, especially if you like sequels and want to know the rest of the story.
Book Description
Book 4 of Love Comes Softly. Reuniting with their daughter's family, grandparents Clark and Marty's hope and faith are tested by a tragedy. Another Janette Oke bestseller!

A good series for young women.......2007-08-14
This is the fourth book in the Love Comes Softly series. I ordered the first three in the series on a hunch that they would be good since they have been made into movies. I ordered these for my 15 year old daughter to read through the summer. I also ordered the DVDs. My daughter is not an avid reader so I had to twist her arm a bit to read these. I am glad they were interesting to her and had good life lessons in them. I would have her read aloud to me and we would discuss what was happening in the story. This was also her first time to see that the book and the movie is often very different. We are still readig the series.
First Rate Story Teller.......2007-07-05
I was first introduced to Jeanette Okes' stories on Moody Bibles 'Stories From the Bookshelf' series, a radio dramatization. Having listened to the episodes and gotten caught up in the stories, I was excited when I learned that they had made the movies. I felt both of the first two stayed fairly true to the stories, but for some reason its' hard to fathom, 'Loves' Abiding Joy' is a departure, an entertaining story, but not the one the book tells by that title. It leaves it open for them to still tell this story but..what would they call that movie?
"Marty and Clarke Go west?"
Neverthe less It is all well written and the movies are well done. The other stories on the Moody Radio series are great as well.

Loves Abiding Joy.......2007-05-20
It was such an awesome book. I never wanted to put it down. This book makes you laugh cry. I read this book faster than any other book, I've ever read.
Love's Abiding Joy.......2007-04-11
Janette Oke has done a wonderful job of traveling through the years. This is the 4th instalment of the "Love Comes Softly" saga. I find her work easy to get into and hard to put down. Keep up the great work Janette.
love comes softly series.......2006-12-22
i really enjoy this series. i first started getting into this author when i started reading Beverly Lewis about 1 1/2-2 years ago. in my opinion the movies and books do not follow eachother very closely, but both are well done in their own right (like one of the other raters stated-very well, i might add). i have a few other books by Jeanette Oke, but i think that Love Comes Softly is by far the best series i have read by her so far. (i have yet to read all 8)

The best series i've ever had the pleasure of reading.......2000-11-20
Book two of the Wind Trilogy, Fall Through The Sky, was one of the most awaited books in my wish list. When I found out that it had been published, I ran around and around trying to find it. When I finally found it, it was amazing to find that I couldn't put the book down. Tyger enthralled me once more as she did when I first read Escape To The Wind. I am eagerly awaiting Book Three, Drinking Silver Wine, the conclusion to the Wind Trilogy.
Book Description
In this provocative book, author, consultant, and church leadership developer Reggie McNeal debunks these and other old assumptions and provides an overall strategy to help church leaders move forward in an entirely different and much more effective way. In The Present Future, McNeal identifies the six most important realities that church leaders must address including: recapturing the spirit of Christianity and replacing "church growth" with a wider vision of kingdom growth; developing disciples instead of church members; fostering the rise of a new apostolic leadership; focusing on spiritual formation rather than church programs; and shifting from prediction and planning to preparation for the challenges of an uncertain world. McNeal contends that by changing the questions church leaders ask themselves about their congregations and their plans, they can frame the core issues and approach the future with new eyes, new purpose, and new ideas.
Also available: The Present Future DVD Collection (978-0-7879-8673-5), Reggie McNeal's DVD presentation of the ideas and insights featured in his best-selling book.
Customer Reviews:
The New Church.......2007-09-11
Excellent book which speaks to the problems the modern church faces. Gives specific information and direction to deal with current issues. I have found this work tremendously useful in advocating change for the church I serve as pastor.
One that must be read........2007-07-25
This book explores the emergent church culture. The book's focus is on missional living within a ever changing culture. The books deals with the changing paradigm of modernism to postmodernism. Some church leaders would consider this book radical, but this book is helpful in providing a proper perspective on reaching out in faith. It is a plea to change churchianity into Christianity. Because of the influence of mega-church culture, we have been seduced into selling Christianity like a product on the open market, the book presents a way to authentically change the community for Christ.
Church Transformation.......2007-05-24
While many will be turned off by the author's strong language and seeming 'over stating' of the case; most of what McNeal says and recommends rings true. The church in North America is dying and dying rather fast as seem by the exodus of members and churches from the major denominations. If you are a leader - and especially a pastor - in a church you need to study this book (preferable with the rest of your team) and seriously consider what and how you are going to respond to the new world order. Unlike the Boomer Generation who have `grown up' and for the most part taken their responsible position in leadership in the ministries of the church, this current last generation (Millenniest or Matrix) are not likely to do that. They are looking for something better and God may indeed pass by the North American Church to accomplish His purpose in reaching the entire world with the Love of Jesus for the Glory of God.
The Present Future: Six Tough Questions for the Church.......2007-05-15
Excellent book! SO HELPFUL!
Thought Provoking.......2007-05-13
This book will challenge you as it unfolds the truth of many churches in North America. At times you will want to stop reading and toss it to the side. Other times you find yourself in total agreement. Reggie demonstrates great courage as he asks questions most Christians don't want to ask about their church. The DVD series is even better as it presents the same tough questions through the caring style of Reggie McNeal.

Not as good as the book..........2007-08-09
It was good, and it did help, but the book made for great discussion, infact the discussion that was birthed from the book was better than that spawned from the video series...Would I buy it again, not if I had a friend to borrow it from, however, if you liked the book you will like the series, and for the leader of the group it makes for a great back up as you read, you can also watch, for me that was helpful.
