This question has been heavy on my heart for awhile now, so when I saw that Tyndale was offering the book, Abandoned Faith* in return for a review on my blog, I was happy to get it! It is incredibly insightful. The authors of the book have spent extensive time with both the up and coming […]
We got The Story Travelers Bible* last month from Tyndale in exchange for a review here, and I have to say, we are really enjoying it! Actually, this Bible has now supplanted the previous children’s Bible that we were reading with our kids in the morning! My 5-year-old is really into it and my 3-year-old […]
I am an American. And I am not ashamed to be an American. There was a time that I was not able to say that and truly mean it. Americans in generations past had no problem accepting this truth, but I have. And I believe many in the post Baby-Boomer generations may feel the same. We […]
I’m drawn to the minimalistic lifestyle. We never made an intentional choice to live minimally, but our semi-nomadic lifestyle (and income level) has shaped how many possessions we currently have. I am also very aware of becoming like my mother and storing every piece of paper from my children’s school years in boxes in the basement, […]
I’ve really gone back and forth about writing this post. My heart is not to offend anyone, but I feel so deeply about this topic that it seems I almost “must” say something. Over the past few months, many of my Facebook friends have posted political opinions that I have not agreed with or found […]
As a part of Tyndale’s blogging community, I get to choose a book or two for free every month in exchange for a review on my blog. Last month, I chose the book, Watch*, by Rick James because it is a theme that God has been bringing up in my life for the past little […]
I chose the book 60 Days of Happiness* as a gift from Tyndale in exchange for a review on my site, and I am so HAPPY that I did! (Which is good because the book is all about happiness!!) I don’t need to write much about Randy Alcorn, the author. He is a New York […]
Sometimes we can forget that God has feelings too. We are made in His image. We have emotions because He first had them. He can feel joy and gratitude, sadness and anger, pain and remorse. He is the Author of humor. He is the original Artist. He loves music and beauty. He is orderly and […]
Before I get into it, let me just say that I am definitely not opposed to studying the Bible. God’s precious Word should be studied and examined so that we can know Him and follow in His ways. He is worthy of our diligence, and we can learn the way to live. But I had […]
One of my favorite Christmas songs growing up was “Happy Birthday, Jesus,” and in fact, it still is. I love the lyrics: “Happy Birthday, Jesus. We’re so glad it’s Christmas. All the tinsel and lights, and the presents are nice, but the real gift is you.” It still brings tears to my eyes. He is […]
