My book club members are big fans of Kendra Norman Bellamy so we took a cue from "Three Fifty-Seven A.M." and determined that any book that she was a part of, whether she was the sole writer or not, would be worth the read. We were not disappointed with "Thicker Than Water." Perhaps we are bias, but all of our favorite story in the anthology was "A Gracious Thanksgiving," which was the story that Kendra wrote. But each of us enjoyed all of the stories represented in this book. There are few bonds that are stronger than that of siblings and when they are twins, that just makes it more secure. These three stories deal in the lives of twins who are facing issues that can make or break them for life. All of the stories offered a different message and that was what made this book so thoroughly entertaining. We highly recommend it.

The stories in this novel were very emotional and inspirational! Great read for all!

Earthquakes. Hurricanes. Tsunamis. The tragic events of September 11, 2001. These are all disasters, natural and man-made, that have devastated our country, our nation, our families, and our lives the past few years. It's at times like these that the importance of family becomes even more profound.

In the newly released anthology THICKER THAN WATER, authors Kendra Norman-Bellamy, Maxine Billings and Linda Hudson Smith introduce us to three sets of twins who are facing some personal trials that could affect the rest of their lives. Even though their issues aren't of the magnitude of the disasters mentioned above, their issues force them to confront past demons and put them to rest, which in turn make them realize the importance of forgiveness and the importance of family.

I really enjoyed this anthology. Each story was heartfelt and dealt with issues that were real, and ones that we may have personally faced at one time or another, or know someone who has. If you're looking for a heartwarming read this holiday season, be sure and pick up a copy of THICKER THAN WATER. I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

I thought that this book was very interesting. I never knew the special kinship that twins have and this book brought it all to light. I now look at twins differently, also it gave me a new awareness of siblings and sibling rivalry. I really did enjoy this book, I had not read anything by Kendra Norman-Bellamy or Maxine Billings previously but now I am looking for some more of their works to read and enjoy. I was already familiar with Linda Hudson-Smith and she held true to her style of writing. Congratulations to all three authors for a work well done.

Kendra has done it again! I am consistently amazed at how "complete" Kendra's stories are; reaching so far beyond the surface every single time. I love her stories and the way that she ministers through them. Kendra has a way of telling you a good story and in the midst of it, she gives you something solid to walk away with. It is clear that this talented author is also a talented minister - because that what her stories do, minister to you! Wow what an awesome gift.
