Thin Places. Mary DeMuth calls those the places in our life that Jesus creeps into no matter how bleak. No matter how dark. For a snatch of time or moment we “sense God intersecting our world in tangible, unmistakable ways. They are aha moments, beautiful realizations, when the Son of God bursts through the hazy fog of our monotony and …
That’s all the Controversy was about????
Like many of you I’ve heard the ridiculous carrying on about one ad that was aired during the Super Bowl. During the last couple weeks you would have thought an ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mom that aired four times prior to the Super Bowl and once during the first quarter was the sign of the beginning of the …
Watch Over Me Review
Watch Over Me is a powerfully offering from Christa Parrish. She has quickly become an author whose books I will read — unusually since her books aren’t suspense, straight romance, or a historical time period I love.

And sometimes the contracts overlap, like mine are right now, making life a wee bit crazy. Other times, we’re out of contract and wondering if and …

One of those times you sit and think “Thank You, Lord, for providing writing buds but even more important sisters in the Lord. Nicole O’Dell writes the Scenario series for young adult girls and Kimberly …
Heartbreak
I’m on a quest to restore my heart. The miscarriages have cause a piece of my heart to break. And while I want to grieve fully and completely — and some would tell you a tad too much — I don’t want to live with heartbreak. I want to live where the sight of a pregnant woman doesn’t remind me …
The Male Factor: A Review
Shaunti Feldhahn’s latest book, The Male Factor: the Unwritten Rules, Misperceptions, and Secret Beliefs of Men in the Workplace grew out of her realization that time and again women short circuited their success in the workplace because they don’t understand the rules of the game. As with her other books, The Male Factor is based on a nationwide survey and …
