A Father’s Day Gift and Giveaway
What are you getting the dad(s) in your life this Father’s Day? As we know, every dad is different. Some crave their favorite dinner (or dessert), while others would most enjoy a weekend getaway or a surprise gift from their Amazon wish list. However we choose to express our love and appreciation this Father’s Day, we will probably accompany our expressions with the words, “I love you, Dad.” Those words sum up the title and heart of Blythe Daniel’s latest book, which she co-authored with her son William and her mom Helen McIntosh. Today, I’m excited to share this book with you and give away one copy. Keep reading to…

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…

Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Book Review & Giveaway
As the mom of a toddler, this title immediately caught my eye. Daily, I pray that my young son will come to know the Lord from a young age and walk with Him all the days of his life. This decision will be completely his, but how can I model for him why following Jesus makes all the difference in the world? This is the type of question the author of this book seeks to answer. My Thoughts on Raising Kids to Follow Christ Lee Ann Manini grabbed my attention from the start with this visual: Imagine being in heaven looking for your kids and not finding them there. What…

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…

Author Chat with Sarah Hamaker on her New Novella in the Collection, Holiday Menace

Author Chat with Angela Ruth Strong on her New Release, Hero Debut
I’m so excited to resume the author chat series with an interview with Christian romance author Angela Ruth Strong. Her writing voice is clear, sincere, and contagiously entertaining, and although I haven’t had the privilege of meeting her in person, I have a feeling it is a natural reflection of her personality. Please join me in welcoming Angela to the blog today. Q: When did you first realize that you wanted to be a writer? In 4th grade we had to write tall tales. One of the kids in my carpool read mine aloud and everyone laughed on the ride home. So I wrote another one for the next ride…
