I’m so excited to have dear friend and agency-mate, Jill Kemerer, join me on the blog today. *waves* Jill is one those sweet souls who immediately puts others at ease and makes the world a whole lot brighter… and funnier! 🙂 I got to meet Jill in person when we roomed together during the 2012 ACFW conference in Dallas. Let …
Hi, friends! What a wonderful treat I have in store for you today! Are you thirsty? Well, grab your empty glass and pull up a seat. We’re going to have some fun! What? you may say. You mean Christians have fun? Of course we do! We weren’t created to live dry, mediocre, or humdrum lives. We were created for so …
Welcome! I’m delighted you’re here! Today you’re in for a special treat as I talk about one of my favorite books from a rising star in Christian fiction. Chances are you’ve heard about Miracle in a Dry Season by the charming and talented Sarah Loudin Thomas. Let me just say—this is one of the finest debuts I’ve read from …
When buzz started to build about The Waiting, I must admit to a preliminary goosebump moment. I knew I had to have this book. As a reader, who wouldn’t love a true story like this? As a mom, how could my heartstrings not be tugged? And as a Christian… Well, as a Christian was I prepared for the gamut of …
I’m so excited to host Beth Vogt on the blog today! Beth is one of the sweetest, most tender-hearted, Christ-centered gals you’d ever want to meet. Her compassion for others resonates immediately. She’s also the kind of person who isn’t afraid to share her heart and admit shortcomings. I’ll post my review of Somebody Like You below, but first, I …
I finished reading one of my favorite books of the year. At approximately 416 pages, Flight of the Earls, by Michael K. Reynolds, hooked me and held me fast from beginning to end. I knew I was in for a hang-on-to-my-seat ride as I read the opening sentence and initial paragraphs of book one in the Heirs of Ireland series. The picture this …
Writers realize that we never know when the writing bug will strike. We might be in bed, church, or even the shower when our creative muse lights upon our brain and clamps down–hard! I know from experience, when the writing bug bites, I have to let nature take its course. The quicker I “treat the bite” (AKA “write”) the better I feel. Years ago, …
It’s a shame that Valentine’s Day can’t be every day. Indeed, the world would be better for it. I don’t mean hearts, flowers, and fattening chocolate (though who could argue with that?) I’m thinking more about our attitudes–the countenance of our spirits. The way we treat others. Our actions, words, and endearments. What if our souls radiated the same giddiness year ’round as what …
One of the greatest highs of my writing journey is making new friends. Connecting with like-minded believers is a tremendous blessing. You may remember when I interviewed Chad R. Allen in November. Chad is the Editorial Director of Baker Books, and he is a ministry-minded, down-to-earth fellow with a heart for helping others. In fact, I met Dr. Hansen by …
I think we’ve all heard the witty (albeit somewhat tired) phrase “Just seize the moment!” Meant to be an encouragement, it seemed for a while everyone was saying it. Let me just add my two cents. Some folks may roll their eyes when they hear that expression, as if it’s yet another empty platitude or well-meaning directive, but those words really do …
