Today I’m sharing two books that couldn’t be more different. Be sure to read to the end, because I’m also doing a giveaway tied to the latest Guidepost series Tricia Goyer and I are writing on. The Mysteries of Martha’s Vineyard is a fun series of cozy mysteries written by some of my favorite writing friends. So fun to be doing it with them.

Teaching faith to our children is a daunting task. My primary role as my children’s mother is to help guide them to a personal relationship with Christ. If I’ve discipled others, but neglected my children, then ultimately I have failed. To that end, I am always looking for resources that engage my children, while helping them find a personal relationship.
This week we’ve had some major announcements in our world. Good, but really challenging for me personally.
