Before I Read Sex Ain’t the Way to Love, Here’s What I’m Already Asking Myself by NWO Sparrow
5 Questions I Can’t Wait to Answer After Reading Sex Ain’t the Way to Love When I first heard about Tavia Mapp-Deterville’s new book Sex Ain’t the Way to Love, I was intrigued. The title alone had me pausing, because it hits on something that feels universal and yet deeply personal. As a man, I know this book is written primarily for women, especially Black women, but I could not help asking myself what lessons I might gain by listening in. Tavia is a music publicist turned author, and with this new release she is blending memoir and journal in a way that forces readers to not just read but to actually reflect. That alone makes me curious.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
It has taken me decades ? literally ? to finally pick up another C.S. Lewis book and read it. In high school I read Lewis? book, ?That Hideous Strength? and completely missed Lewis? message. One decade later I read Lewis? ?Mere Christianity? and fully understood what Lewis was saying. With The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, part of C.S. Lewis? Chronicles of Narnia series, the gospel message is clearly made evident in an allegorical/mystical style. Lewis used the Narnia series to explain Christ?s love for humankind to children, who are the series? principal readers.

Rachel Reviews: Lost Letters by Tom Hapgood. Top Story - September 2025.
Tom Hapgood's book is a lot of things. It has history, both twentieth century and prior; it has youth and the coming-of-age; it has, through its characters' situations, a discussion of the health concerns that can encroach as life continues inexorably towards death; and it has the secrets that lurk in the family vault, just waiting to be uncovered and brought to the surface.

Drawing in the Sands by Zoe Klein
I finally finished the book Drawing in the Sands. Here is a little overview of the story. "Brilliant archaeologist, Page Brookstone, is convinced bones speak, yet none of the ancient remains she has unearthed during her twelve years of toiling at Israel's storied battle grounds of Megiddo has delivered the life-altering message she so craves. Which is why Ibrahim and Naima (in the summary, it says Aisha, but in the book, it's Naima) Barakat, a young Arab couple who implore Page to excavate the grounds beneath their house in Anatot, instantly intrigues her. The Barakats claim the ghosts of two lovers haunt their home, overwhelming everyone who enters with love and desire. Ignoring the scorn of her peers, Page investigates the site, where she is seduced by the undeniable force. Once Ibrahim presents Page with hard evidence of a cistern beneath his living room floor, she has no choice but to uncover the secret of the spirits. It is not long before Page makes a miraculous discovery - the bones of the deeply troubled Prophet Jeremiah locked in with an eternal brace with a mysterious woman named Anatiya. Buried with the entwined skeletons is a collection of Anatiya's scrolls, whose magical words challenge centuries-old interpretations of the prophet's story and create a worldwide fervor that threatens to silence the truth about the two lovers forever. Caught in a forbidden romance of her own, and under constant siege from religious zealots and ruthless critics, Page risks her life and reputation to deliver Anatiya's passionate message to the world." - From the summary in the book
