quotes of the month.
Exert From “Self Matters”, Dr Phillip C McGraw
–
I hold to the rather old fashioned belief that each of us
is blessed with particular gifts given to us by God, and
that it is our sacred obligation to identify, to cherish,
and to exercise those gifts for the betterment of ourselves
and of those in our lives. 1
Corinthians 7:7 (NIV)
But each man has his own gifts from God: one has this gift,
another has that.
My favourite
“Give back what does not belong to you. This is a
journey of healing, learning and greater understanding,
not a journey of punishment. However, you cannot give healing,
learning and greater understanding until it is yours.” |

master who's consistently sensitive about her characters, what they
say, how they say it, and in what intrigues they walk into. She
has a fine ear for crafting flawless dialogue that shines true every

Christine Jones Mariard Volume 1 The gifting, is an amazing book.
The story combines hi-tech with fantasy, magic with science, in
a way that makes it exciting to read — a real page-turner.
On one level it’s a swashbuckler tale. But deeper under its
surface, it confronts the struggle with loyalty to ones family,
and whether a person can change their fate. These are subjects that
are timeless and always interesting to explore, and this novel is
no exception. As I read this book, I kept thinking, “This
is the way story telling is supposed to be.” Well done, Christine!

Jones created an image rich environment for her Mariard Volume 1
The gifting, and carried me through it, from the dramatic opening
to the last page. The excitement and suspense kept me grabbing for
the next page and for the next volume when I reached the end.

well-developed characters, and complex mythologies need look no
further than Mariard Volume 1 The Gifting.” – Duane

An
astonishing piece of writing. You have brought the reader right
into each of the scenes. Your characters, although many, are so
descriptively portrayed that one has no difficulty following the
story line. And the mesh of the old with the modern is really unique.
If there was a category for six stars, I would have given you that.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

Spend an hour with Christine Jones, and you'll want to stay. Christine
has you explore a land you never dreamed existed. There are plenty
of characters, of all shapes and sizes, Christine introduces you
to, and before you know it, you'll have concrete ties to some of
them, and others, you'll want to destroy. Christine has done all
the work, all you have to do is read, and enjoy, and laugh sometimes,
and furl your brow here and there, possibly get impatient, but for
sure, you'll want to read on. I know I did.

From the first page to the last Christine Jones book MARIARD VOLUME
1 THE GIFTING grabs you and keeps you until the last word. I enjoyed
reading this wonderful book and encourage you to dive into this
fantastic world. The book is an exciting ride that never stops.
The characters are three dimensional, alive, and full of passions.
The dialogue does not leave the reader wondering about the relationship
between each of the characters. The book pulls you into a world
that is fantastic and dark at the same time. The descriptions are
vivid and breath taking. Reading this book, I was impressed at how
the author could throw herself into the characters and create a
world that is fantastic. If you enjoy role playing video games,
fantasy movies, and role play fantasy books then you will enjoy
this first book in the series.

Excellent.
This isn't even the genre of story that I normally would read but
you've done such a good job that you've got me hooked.
