Customer Reviews

Janette Oke

This is a good little book, much smaller than the others I have read but equally as good. The turn in the end was a surprise.

Warm, Homey

Cynthia and Judith are best friends. They meet for coffee and a danish each Saturday morning at the Koffee Kup. Cynthia is concerned about her father since her mother died. She thinks he needs to find someone. She and Judith decide not to set him up, but to subtly make things convenient for him and a nice widow. This book is a nice, warm Christian Fiction with a touch of Romance. I like the book because it has a warm, family, Christian atmosphere. There are encouraging things in this book. I also enjoy reading about warm relationships; this book is centered a lot around relationships. I also love the book because it reminds us that God is in control and has the Master Plan. There was a nice twist at the end.

very cute

This was just a fun little book to read, I really ejoyed it. I believe you will too.

very good

"The Tender Years" is a very good book. I have not fineshed it yet, but I think it is very good. My mother read it and thought I might like it.

A wonderful story about friendships

The Matchmakers is a wonderful book in classic Janette Oke style. It is short enough to finish in an evening, which you will want to do once you start reading! The last chapter will leave a smile on your face and satisfaction in your heart!
