Looking In The Window: Ann Jones Defends Her Faith in Breaking Barriers

Christianity underground...churches destroyed...Ann’s determined to save the faith she loves. James wants to protect her.

Five Star Reviews: What people are saying about Breaking Barriers

“This is a short novella, but it is packed with great dialog, authentic three-dimensional characters, and page-turning action. Then there is a sweet romance tucked inside as well. This could happen anywhere, anytime in today's world.”

***

“Hang on for a whirlwind of a tale that’ll take you to the sunshine state of Florida and have you oohing, awing, shaking your head and even smiling throughout. Author Gail Pallotta has done it again, written an exceptional faith based, action packed romance. Bravo to a great read!!”

***

“The first words gripped my heart and twisted hard, and Ms. Pallotta’s words didn’t release their strangle hold until the final sentence.”

“Her characters bloomed on each page, except for her antagonist—The Worm. He slithered and slimmed everything he touched. And Ann was his target. Ms. Pallotta’s twists and turns in the plot line had me screaming at Ann—“Nooo!” But convinced God called her for this moment, Ann plunges on, knowing every day might be her last. Was it worth the price she had to pay?”

***

“I highly recommend, Breaking Barriers, with a true to life suspenseful story line that held my attention from beginning to end! With inspiring Christian responses. I loved that the setting of the novel is in coastal Florida! And, that mid way through the novel the key characters take a nice, refreshingly peaceful & tranquil AirBoat ride through the Everglades, that came to life for me with Gail Pallotta's excellent writing!!”

***

“...the story Gail has developed shows us clearly that those with faith can stand against opposition, whatever form it takes. I enjoyed the character of Ann, James and Freddie. We're taught that first impressions of someone can be wrong and Ann learned that and made things right. Love, faith and friendship conquer all, a wonderful message for us. I didn't want to stop reading as the end of each chapter left me hanging on a cliff as good writers do.”

Looking Out the Window: Memories on the Heart

Several weeks ago my husband, Rick, and I ate at a restaurant we frequent fairly regularly. The cute, young waitress who usually waits on us took our orders for burgers and fries. I’ll call her Mandy. As usual Mandy’s smile and bubbly personality brightened our day. We giggled and confessed to her that we shouldn’t eat the fries, but we were going to do it just this once. She joked. “Okay, you’re being bad today.” Not long after we got our food a couple came in and sat in the booth behind us. Mandy walked up to the table with her big grin. “Hi, how are you?” she asked. The man, who had salt and pepper colored hair and a pudgy face, spoke in a harsh tone, “I want the steak.” “Sure, which one would you like?” Mandy asked. “I don’t want you to put it in the microwave. That will make it tough. Do you understand?” Mandy’s lips turned down. “Yes sir, which one do you want to order?” “I want it medium rare. I don’t want blood oozing out of it. I want it cooked right.” “Yes sir, which steak di

Looking out the Window: Bible Study Leader Kristi Neace Says God Won't Fail Us and Introduces Us to Her New Book, Pathlight to Praise. Free Bible Study Coming Soon.

A Warm Welcome to Kristi Neace Kristi shares a devotional. She will start a new Bible study on Facebook in July. Watch for the announcement, giving the exact date and time on her Facebook Page Scriptural videos also available. See below.* In a Pit? Psalm 40:1-3‚ “I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.” Can you think of a time when God helped you out of a low place? Perhaps something had caused you to spiral downward, or maybe like the Old Testament character, Jonah, you had run away from God so as not to have to do what He was asking of you. Through this passage, we see that David was experiencing this first-hand. He was in a place of despair, yet God was gracious, and after some time, placed David in a new area of serv

Looking Out the Window: Brandy Heineman Talks about Writing and Her New Book, Whispers in the Braches

A Warm Welcome to Brandy Heineman Photo credit: Copyright Emilie Hendryx of E. A. Creative Photography, 2014. Hi Brandy, lots of writers enjoyed reading as a child. How about you? If so, what did you read? Oh, yes. I always loved to read. I adored mysteries— The Dollhouse Murders and Behind the Attic Wall come to mind—and of course I had my Baby-Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High phase, my Roald Dahl phase, my Judy Bloom phase . . . I was quite a bookish child, I’d say! About Whispers in the Branches In 1942, Ruby lost something. In 2012, Abby found it.
