It is always like an early birthday or Christmas gift to me when I receive a review of one of my books. It is a thrilling feeling to see that someone enjoys my work. I am grateful to this latest reader for taking the time to write this lovely review.
Branyrd & her Guardian Angel Benedicto have a Mission that may be her hardest yet. They have to help people overcome evil & lead them to GOD. Janice has done a great job again! You can really feel Branyrd’s emotions as she is helping these people, then having to say goodbye when her Mission is done. The ending is awesome.
Creating this series was pure joy as I placed my fingers on the keyboard of my laptop. I felt a current flow through my fingertips as the characters develop. I hope readers will feel this current when they read this series that is full of love, mercy, hope and an angel who will steal your heart and restore your faith.

Book Review For MISSION OF HOPE (Branyrd the Angel Series Book 4) by J.E. SPINA
5 Stars: Hope Is The expectation and Desire For What Comes Next!
When I started reading ‘Branyrd The Angel’ Series, I had no idea it would capture my heart in the way that it has. I invite you to purchase this series if you haven’t already, read ‘Mission of Hope’ as each book in this series stands alone. I encourage you to give this series as a gift to someone who needs hope.
In book one (The Misunderstood Angel), we learned Branyrd is a different kind of angel. She has earned Angel First Class and is given missions to travel to Earth to help humans in trouble. In this book Branyrd was assigned to help a battered woman and her child.
In book two (Mission of Mercy), Branyrd begins a second assignment to earth, accompanied by her Guardian Angel Benedicto, Angel First Class on High, who guides and advises her. The mission assignment is to help a homeless vet named Lucas, who suffers from PTSD, and his young son, Ezra.
In book three (Mission of Love), Branyrd is sent to earth while bombs are falling on a small island. This will be her biggest challenge yet. This story will tug at your heartstrings, given the wars going on in our world today. You will see the desperate circumstances, hear the cries for help and read the prayers ascending to heaven. You will see the love and compassion of Branyrd Angel First Class. You will not want to miss the Lord’s reaction to Branyrd when she returns to heaven after completing her earthly mission.
Now in book four (Mission of Hope), First Class Angel Branyrd with Benedicto (Guardian Angel on High) are sent to earth on a multi-layered mission, as the earth erupts in unrest, criminal factions and wars that threaten all of humanity. Even repentant fallen angels are given assignments in hopes of gaining entry back into heaven. You will see that many events in ‘Mission of Hope, mirror current events. That is the genius of Author J. E. Spina. She writes with compelling details and weaves comedy into the story line to lighten the reader’s load. If Author J. E. Spina can’t become a superhero herself and solve the world’s crushing injustices, she can send in a fictional Angel with God’s blessing to heal our people, unite our leaders, bring peace and restoration to our world.
The author states “things in this book that cannot be explained to younger children, making this suitable for ages 15+.” The author dedicates this series “to all who believe in Angels around us.” I am counting the days until this unforgettable Angel, with golden wings, is given her next earthly mission.
Janice Spina, who also writes under the name J. E. Spina, has 47 published books. Her ‘Jems Books’ include 22 children’s stories for young children, two mystery series for middle-graders and preteens. She has written a fantasy series with more to come for YA. Janice has published nine novels and a short story collection for 18+.

I hope you will check out this book soon and read all the books in the series. They are all stand-alone books but please read them in order to see how Branyrd matures in her role as an Angel.
Thank you so much for stopping by to read this book and for your continued support. Please come back again anytime.

Wishing all in the USA a Happy Thanksgiving and to the rest of the world a Happy Day! I read some interesting information about Thanksgiving and how it was established in the USA. The article was written in my local paper, The Manchester Union Leader, Manchester, New Hampshire.
I enjoyed reading it and wanted to share it with you in case you did not know how it became a national holiday. Thanks to Manchester Union Leader for featuring this article this year.
Below is the letter Sarah Josepha Hale sent to President Abraham Lincoln regarding the Thanksgiving proposal. I hope you can read this. You can always make it bigger though if you can’t.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your continued support! I hope everyone has a lovely day today whether or not you are celebrating Thanksgiving.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these two series so much that I plan on doing another series for MG/PT in the near future. It made me feel like a kid again as I had to think back to when I was a kid and how I felt about things around me. It was so much fun. My husband tells me that this is my genre and I should continue to write more. I hope I can do that one day again.
In the meantime, please check out all these MG/PT for your kids to get them reading and away from all the technology that causes their reading to become stagnant and their creativity to wane.

Of course in the middle of all this I am publishing my latest book, Branyrd the Angel Book 4: Mission of Hope hopefully tomorrow. Wish me luck with everything.

Wishing you a blessed day every day whether it is a holiday or not. Take care and stay well and safe. Happy Reading, my friends! Reading is good for you – see more below.
Did you know that reading is good for you? Reading is not only important for children but it’s also very important for adults. It not only increases your word vocabulary and stimulates your mind, but also gives you a feeling of wellbeing and promotes good health, dispels feelings of loneliness, improves your memory, promotes better patterns of sleep, and don’t forget – it brings families closer when they share and read books together.
Reading is important not only to keep your children’s reading levels up all year long but also it can increase their vocabulary, spark their creativity, enhance their health and wellbeing, and encourage them to become lovers of books.

Each year we take this three-week vacation to Aruba. I’m exhausted for a week after we return. This year we got sick from all the stress of a delayed flight. We had to leave our room at the resort at 10:00 am and our flight was not until 5:55 pm which had already been changed from 3:30 pm. Since we couldn’t stay in Aruba until closer to our flight, we decided to go directly to the airport. They require you to arrive at the airport three to four hours ahead of time to process the volume of people who leave on a Saturday. Our wait would be more like six hours.
This is where it gets dicey! Our plane was once again delayed until 7:00 pm and then again until 9:30 pm. Our flight home was four and a half hours’ long, making our arrival at 2:30 am.
We are still tired and out of sorts with stomach issues and headaches from lack of sleep. We are trying to catch up. All in all the vacation was wonderful with minor snags in our room which was being renovated and not ready for us to move in. We were given another room which was comparable and very nice. We eventually moved into the new room the third week. It was beautiful with a few issues that they took care of quickly enough.
We may run into issues again next year when our first week’s room will be renovated and probably not ready for us to move in. They will have to provide a comparable room for us in another part of the resort.
I shared so many photos with you already and I am sure that you are tired of seeing more. Well, I hope you don’t mind that I share a few more from our last day.

Although we love to visit Aruba each year and see all the familiar faces, it is always good to be home! There is no place on Earth I would rather be than my home especially for the holidays. I feel blessed to be able to travel and hope that we will be able to visit our favorite home away from home many more times.
Well, now it’s back to WIP and getting it published. I hope to have it ready for publication this month. I took a long break while in Aruba and only answered and cleaned out emails, wrote a few posts and enjoyed my vacation away from my WIP.
I hope you enjoyed reading my posts and seeing my many photos of this lovely little island paradise. Thank you for stopping by and for your continued support.
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
