First Line Friday is brought to you by Hoarding Books.
I am beyond zonked but also excited to share my line this week, because I think it is a book I am really going to love.
"It seems, maybe, we have forgotten that Jesus said we can do nothing without Him. Nothing."
Pretty straight-forward, no?
Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteMy First Line Friday comes from a book I will be reading soon, Before We Were Strangers by Brenda Novak!
As far back as Sloane McBride could remember, she’d been told she was an ice-queen. Even the people closest to her, especially the people closest to her, complained about her reserve.
Have a great weekend!😁
Happy Friday Susan, thanks for sharing your line. I love the name Sloane for a girl. Have a wonderful, book-filled weekend!

ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
That's quite the descriptor there, a warm, wet blanket. Happy Friday Caryl, thanks for coming by!
DeleteLOVE that first line!!! I will definitely check this book out.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Today I am showcasing the first line from Michelle Griep's newest novel, The Innkeeper's Daughter. I am loving the book. It is a page turner, and the hero is wonderful. I am just starting chapter 18, so I will share the first line from that chapter here:
"Johanna opened the door to chaos, then stood there, jaw agape."
Totally unrelated, but every time I see the last name Griep it reminds me of that episode of Friends where Rachel was going to the opening of Josh's new club and didn't get in because there was no Rachel Green on the guest list, he had put her name as Rachel Griep.
DeleteHappy Friday, friend. Hope you have a joyful weekend!
Amen! Happy Friday! The book I'm sharing on my blog is an old one: The Knight and the Dove by Lori Wick. Here, I will share Love on the Mend by Karen Witemeyer, "Peace and quiet. That's all he sought." Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Anneliese, thanks for coming by and sharing your line. Happy Friday!
DeleteI like this line! Too often we forget that in general I think.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! And I saw a post on Facebook that I shared just yesterday I think it was, about an article about God giving us more than we can handle - because He does not expect us to handle anything alone, and He will always be with us.
DeleteThat first line certainly lets you know what to expect from the book!
ReplyDeleteI’m sharing from Firing Line by Mike Hollow on my blog today. It’s a murder mystery set in London during the Blitz.
But here’s the first line from the book I’m currently reading, Change of Heart by Courtney Walsh:
Evelyn Brandt stood in her kitchen, the sound of uptight laughter filtering in from the dining room.
It’s excellent!
Oh yes, and I am liking it so far. Thanks for coming by, Happy Friday!
DeleteNothing like a strong statement to start off a non-fiction book! I’m sharing from Karen Barnett’s The Road to Paradise on my blog today, so here I’ll share the first line from another book I hope to read soon, The Alliance by Jolina Petersheim:
ReplyDelete“Buffered by grassland, the collision is strangely quiet.”
Happy weekend!
Hi Yvette, thanks for coming by and sharing our line this week. Have a great weekend!
