  150-day devotional on the book of  Psalms   Introduction:  Christians often speak of giving God praise for this or that, but for a person new to the faith or even a seasoned believer longing for encouragement during personal struggles, praise can seem like an overwhelming even unattainable task. Yet, in the very last verse of Psalms we read, "...everything that has breath praise the LORD (Ps. 150:6)." Why? Because He is worthy! Within the pages of this book, you will find 150 days' worth of devotions filled with God's unending love and care for His children.

 In my previous posts here Book One and here Book Two I spoke about the beginnings of the Portal Watchers.  The remaining books have now been published and wow... I loved them. It really is a heart-stopping thrill-seeker, edge of the seat ride from start to finish. Yes they are YA books. No that doesn't mean a grown woman - or man - who loves sci-fi can't read and enjoy them. They have fully rounded characters, with flaws, who mess up like we all do, but don't give up. It's not often something goes straight back into the TBR pile, but these have. Blurb: Years have passed since the Vil took Ne-tel’s twin sister, but the the Vil want Ne-tel as well as his twin. The Vil are relentless. No place is safe. Not even with family.
