Over the years, I’ve been a part of many different fasts. Going for hours, days, and even weeks without food. The motivations have been different: to know more of God, to see him bring breakthrough in various situations, to release his power in greater ways. But it was not until recently that the Holy Spirit […]
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 […]
The more I hear from concerned parents about the nightmares and the fears plaguing their children, the more I felt compelled to write this little manual. I wanted to offer a simple and practical guide on spiritual warfare for parents that will enable them to teach their children the basics of taking up our authority in Jesus without being […]
I didn’t grow up in a home that practiced the tradition of Lent, but I am drawn to the idea of doing something special for the 40 days leading up to Easter. It’s so easy to let the season go by and miss the point of it all, which is Jesus. So I put together a […]
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 […]
It’s amazing, isn’t it? That our times with the infinite Creator of the Universe can sometimes feel…well…boring?! I assure you that it is not God’s fault! He is the most interesting Being ever, so why does it happen? And how can we avoid it? It happens because we get stuck in a rut. Or it […]
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 […]
