As the weather gets cooler, I start to read more often and this weekend was no exception. With the cold damp weather, I was definitely in the mood for something dark and Rose Marie by Gary I. Coleman was the perfect choice for a weekend read. Thank you to the author for sponsoring this post […]
I’ve just recently gotten into listening to books rather than reading them. I found out that my Amazon Echo can read me a book which is fantastic. I can work or exercise or relax and listen to the book instead of reading it. I have always found sermons to be inspiring and listening to them […]
God has loved you with an everlasting love, and yet no matter how deeply we feel him in our lives, the word of God often goes unheard. This is why, in the noise of the modern world, the simplicity of his message is all too easily lost. Yet while our prayers have no answers we […]
There are very few authors that have had as much as an impact on my life as Joyce Meyer. I’ve read most of her books, have several DVDs and even have an app. I regularly look for her shows on cable, and I almost always have a better day after watching one of them. I […]
Did you ever notice that most of the Bible stories for children feature male characters? There are female heroes of the Bible and Esther the Belle of Patience shares one of my favorites.

Bearing Witness was a fascinating look into the lives of a number of different martyrs in the Christian religion. The book is part of the Bearing Witness Stories Project, a collaboration of Anabaptists from a wide range of traditions. […]
I’ve been working toward simplifying my life for about a year. Week by week, I declutter a bit more. I pare down my schedule. I turn off more notifications on my phone. It hasn’t been an easy journey. I’m used to being very busy all of the time, but it’s a journey that I needed […]
No Grey Areas by Joseph N. Gagliano is a book that made me think. I’m not really into sports, but my husband is, so I had never heard of point shaving or the scandal that happened that the author was involved in. As soon as I mentioned it to Marty, he knew exactly what I […]
I received a book about how to overcome stress and it couldn’t have come at a better time. It seems like stress is one of those things that I deal with on a regular basis. Sometimes it’s work. Sometimes it’s people. Sometimes it’s things. Either way, it seems like I am on “alert” a fair […]
