The Penny by Joyce Meyer and Deborah Bedford
When I first heard about The Penny I had no interest in reading it. While I love Joyce Meyer, her nonfiction books, and teaching, I was hesitant to read a fiction account written with someone. But my mom, being a big time Joyce Meyer fan, told me how much she enjoyed the book and all…
Whispers of Freedom Meme
Leave it to Tricia Goyer to come up with a fun and unique way to do a book blog tour! Her latest novel, Whispers of Freedom, I’m playing. How about you? 1. List three things you would do with a chest full of gold (assuming you got to keep it!) 1) Find out how much…
Not Too Late to Enter!
I’m giving free books to the one who has the most comments (related to the post!) from Friday the 9th to Saturday the 17th. So start reading and commenting. Seems like May’s been a big month for book releases so I’ve had to post multiple times a day. That gives you more chances to enter!…
Are You Forgetting Someone?
Does a maiden forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet people have forgotten me, days without number. Jeremiah2:32 NIV Have any of you ever turned your back on God? Have you had thoughts that maybe you could handle this life on your own? I have, more times than I care to say, and I…
Reflections of Grace
During Grace’s Birthday month I’m going to post some reflections of my spunky little firecracker! June 7, 2005 I can’t believe my baby is now 3 years old. Everyday I seem to enjoy her more. I think that’s because she’s getting a little easier to handle. Though she tries my patience and pushes limits many,…
Tarnished Silver
Many believers see themselves as sinners covered by the blood of Jesus. Or as Dwight Edwards puts it many believers see themselves like “costume jewelry. Worthless metal covered with an attractive coating.” But he goes on to explain that we’re more like tarnished silver. “While we’re covered by the infinite righteousness of Christ, we’re also…
On Commenting for the Book Contest!
Angela brought up a good question! “How many times can you comment on a post?” As long as the comment is relative to the post, I’ll count it. And remember you can go back to last Sat/Sun??? I forget when I started the contest. If you want to know what books I’m giving away, read…
Rethinking ICRS
ICRS. The International Christian Retail Show. This huge gathering of authors and publishers had been an enigma to me. Something I’ve wondered about but never experienced. This year I had three different opportunities to attend. Two would be out of our budget and would entail attending a mini conference. One other opportunity won’t cost me…
When the dream’s big enough, the facts don’t matter
Several years ago, my husband bought me a laptop and, ever so romantically said, “Here, now go write something.” And, being the ever obedient wife, I did. Months later. I’d started reading Kristen Billerbeck‘s Ashley Stockingdale books because (are you ready for this?) I liked the covers. A voracious reader, I’d never picked up Christian…
