  • Ahoti: Book Review and Giveaway

    Anything you read by Eva Marie Everson is sure to leave a lasting impression, and Ahoti: A Story of Tamar, which she co-authored with Miriam Feinberg Vamosh, is no different. When I first heard about this project, I was intrigued and excited. Like many of you, I am familiar with the tragic story of Tamar in the Bible: violated by her half-brother and said to live desolate in her brother’s house afterward. However, the historical research done by this author duo paint an alternate ending. Through biblical fiction, they weave a story of hope and redemption for this biblical heroine. I loved the ending to this story, which is where…

  • Mistakes Aren’t the End of the Story

    Searching for love in all the wrong places. Scarred from the past. Damaged goods. Those phrases describe how Jayna’s story begins in Hold Your Breath. Her story was uncomfortable to write at times, and yet I felt compelled to write it for the reader who relates to Jayna: someone who feels “less than” and needs to know her true worth. That true worth is what private investigator Liam Bracken tries to help Jayna see as he points her to the One who redeems and restores. Liam reminds me of the person Jesus describes in Matthew 25:35-36. “…for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you…
