  2. I didn't know you'd read them - Is this a series you might have mentioned to me before, awhile back?

    I might have tuned it out since I have never really found Christian Fiction writers I cared for, but when I saw this series mentioned on multiple sights by a noticeable number different readers, I thought I'd give it a go. I am so glad I did. This Trilogy is in my list of favorite books now!
