It is possible that the book may not sell; but that is nothing- it was written for love.

Now that I’ve introduced myself…

Anyway, to answer your question. XD There’s a ton of awesome quotes Jerry Jenkins complied in this article.

Hope it helps!

@s-tastet

Or any other of Ted Dekker’s books?

@s-tastet

Oh, okay! Yeah, I think I preferred AD30, but 33 was still good. It was really sad though – I won’t spoil XD

Have you read the Chosen series by Jerry B. Jenkins? It’s basically the show, but written as a book, and it’s SO good!! I liked all the insight into the characters. I’ve only seen a few episodes of the show, so I might be…[Read more]

@s-tastet
Oohh, I know, AD30 is really good!! I don’t know many people who have read it, though. Have you read AD33 yet or no?
Ooh, awesome! Yeah, me either really, but I don’t mind a little!
Oh goldens are amazing!! They’re just so beautiful and have such a good temperament. I’m not sure what breed I’d be.

@s-tastet

@s-tastet

Oooh! I loooove Harry Potter! Which book is your favorite? I absolutely can not skateboard at all but can roller skate.🤣 I’m not a big fan of fishing, my brother loves it so he makes me do it with him, but I also love to go shooting with my dad, we have a big property and a shooting range in the woods! 😀  Nice to meet you!
