Author Chat with Julie Lavender on Her Book, Strength for All Seasons
Life has more than the four seasons we use to mark the passage of time. As the mom of a young toddler, I feel as though I have already experienced so many new seasons: from fresh baby snuggles to actually playing outside with my boy and watching the wonder on his face as he discovers new experiences. All those milestones–from sitting to crawling to babbling to walking to attempting to talk–are just the tip of the iceberg of the seasons motherhood presents. As I’m learning, each one brings its joys and its challenges. My friend and gifted author Julie Lavender wrote a book to encourage women in all seasons of…

Book Review: For the Weary Life Traveler by Christine F. Perry
Traveling is something my husband and I love to do, and we’re excited to introduce our baby boy to our favorite places as he grows up. However, not all travel is smooth-sailing, and sometimes, plans gone wrong can leave us feeling weary. When I read Christine F. Perry’s title for her latest release, it immediately resonated with me due to my own passion for travel and ensuing misadventures … like the time in Sicily where our rental car died at five in the morning, the back-up train never showed up, and then my debit card wouldn’t work for the taxi driver. Praise God my friend and I both made our…

It’s barely spring in Florida, but already, our temperatures are climbing upwards of eighty and even ninety degrees some days. I’ve started craving ice pops and ice cream (even more than usual).

Hall’s new devotional, Thirsty, encourages. Today, I hope you enjoy meeting Hannah and learning more about her heart for this book, which released April 5. Q: Your children’s books are best-sellers and some of my favorites to gift at baby showers. What prompted you to write a devotional for women?…

Adored: Book Giveaway & Review
Each year about this time, I start thinking about a daily devotional book to supplement my Scripture reading. Some of my favorites in the past have included Charles Stanley’s Every Day in His Presence and Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest. When people ask me for recommendations, I sometimes hesitate because while I enjoy the ones I read, they might not be the best fit for everyone. That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to Lindsay A. Franklin’s Adored, a daily devotional intentionally designed for young women (middle or high school age). The short selections for each day touch on issues relevant to today’s teens and offer biblical perspective on…
