Love in the Castle Library (In the Castle Library #2):
"I loved Christmas In The Castle Library so much that I was hesitant to read Love In The Castle Library as I was worried it wouldn't live up to the first book. I was wrong to worry! I love book two even more! Delphine and Jack are wonderful characters"

Love in the Castle Library (In the Castle Library #2):
"Absolutely loved! Ann writes such an engaging story, I was immersed from the start. I loved the mystery aspect and the way it continued from the first book.

of
Love in the Castle Library (In the Castle Library #2):
"Back in Lethersby—and it felt like a breath of fresh air in the best way.
Ann did it again with this one, friends. The storytelling is compelling, and the sense of place feels so immersive and lived-in. The plot and pacing really worked for me. I love" Read more of this review » |

“Only Jesus can hold things like this in tandem. Only Jesus can simultaneously attend to the one with the broken foot and the one with stage IV cancer. Only Jesus can concurrently care about the child withering away from starvation and the child weeping over his parents’ divorce. Only Jesus can cry with the girl sobbing over a high school breakup and the wife who is widowed, left with mouths to feed and an empty bed. He is the only one who can see that all pain is real and valid, regardless of how the world would rank it. He is the only one who can validate our suffering—and he does.”

“This is the real, hard work of faith for most of us--not jumping of cliffs or swimming in shark-infested waters, but being willing to lay our hearts and souls before God without protection or pretense. And it's risky business.
It's risky to continue to open our hearts to the Lord when our dreams and desires don't line up with reality. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Don't let anyone make you feel like coming to the Lord should always feel warm and easy and clear-cut. It won't. It doesn't.
...He isn't bound by our ways, our timelines, our demands. He is bound by truth and love and justice and mercy--by the things he is and contains within himself.”

― Still Waiting: Hope for When God Doesn't Give You What You Want
“When we have begged and demanded from God all that we can, and when he still doesn't change our situation, we're left with a choice, we can choose offense with him, or we can choose obedience.
Offense is a terror of a thing: it puts us in the judgment seat over God. We strong-arm God, we yell at him, we tell him all the things he's not. And while it's good to be honest with God, there is a difference between heart-felt honesty and hostile honesty. Heartfelt honesty comes to God on its knees. Hostile honesty comes to God pointing the finger.”
