The Unertaker's Wife by Dee Oliver



 
A delightful book on a subject most of us deny will happen but it does to us all. The subject is death.
It is not morbid. It is very cheerful and instructive.
Dee fell in love with Johnnie who happened to be a fourth generation funeral director. On her first date they stopped to pick up a body to transport to the mortuary.
They got married and had children and twenty years later he died of a stroke. She had to pick up her life. She decided to go into the family business of funeral director.
She returned to school and got her degree. The family business didn’t want her so she had to do her internship with the colored undertaker in another part of town. This being the South it was a first.
She proved to be a survivor.
In the last part of the book she gives some helpful advice to those of us who need to plain for the event.
I found the story to flow nicely and the information to be easy to digest.
The publisher is Zondervan and the gospel is presented in a harmless and non-evasive manner through the memorial service.
I would recommend this book for all lovers of romance. Also for those who need to be reminded what to leave behind in instructions and help.
This book was sent to me without cost by Bookloookbloggers.com for the purpose of reviewing it. I was not required to give it a positive review.

Revival by Stephen King


  I have become a fan of Stephen King. I like the way he has developed in his style since his first book a long time ago.
  He used to do gross out type of horror stories. But he started to develop characters that were intriguing. His story in the past about flying saucers and telekinetic powers were a bit off the norm .
 When he works with basic motifs of the unknown, the wolfman, the enhanced mental capability of man-- these are good.
  He has become a leader in the revived horror genre.
   In this one we have the power of electricity and its' distructive power.
    The template for this one appears to be the Frankenstein Motif. A con man enters town and through the power of electricity presents himself as a miracle worker. But each person he helps is either driven to suicide or losing of their minds.
  Except for a few.
  This story is told through the first person voice of Jamie Morton who gets selected by a person called Charles Jacobs, the con man. There is a link between the two set up by a healing done by Jacobs using electricity.
   Jacobs weaves through the story and ends up at the end of his life attempting to raise the dead during a storm. He wishes to know what is beyond death.
   Jamie is needed since he is the success story of Jacobs and has the strongest connection to the power of the storm.
    King may have lost some of his hold over the genre but is starting to regain it.
    This is a good book and enjoyable.
     To buy a copy of this book you can go to my book store .
