Cara Fiction Friday 25 Comments

As a voracious reader, my to-be-read pile never stops. Literally it is towering beneath my desk and next to my bedside…and on a bookshelf. And you get the idea! I love books too much. No. That’s not possible. I simply need a vacation to read all the books I have stockpiled. Yes, that’s better. What’s on your #TBRPile? @Cara_Putman shares …

Unexpected Experiences + Giveaway

Cara events 4 Comments

Last week, I was in Jordan. The one across the ocean. The one that required an 11 hour nonstop flight from Chicago to reach. It was an amazing and surreal experience–surreal in the sense that it was my first time to the Middle East. Notice the use of the word first. It’s very intentional. Ever traveled somewhere unexpected? @cara_putman shares an …

A Life Well Lived

Cara faith thoughts 10 Comments

Today in honor of his life, I want to giveaway two copies of my WWII collection Ohio Brides. The reason is because the middle book in that trilogy is my first book where the heroine comes to faith. The book I’m writing now is the second. Most of my novels contain characters who are learning and deepening their faith. But A Promise Born was different.

Books to Feed Your Soul & Giveaway

Cara faith thoughts 11 Comments

I read a ton of fiction. I inhale novels. By July, I’d read something like sixty according to the list I keep on Goodreads. Now I find myself in a season of inhaling non-fiction, feeding my soul in a different way. Today I thought it would be fun to share some of those with you, while also having a link at the end for a giveaway of Tricia Goyer’s Walk It Out.
