The List by Buck Storm – Book Review
The List is such an amazing story! I have always enjoyed Biblical fiction and yet read it so carefully to make sure there are no flagrant errors in doctrine. I worry a little when I read about some of the more well-known Biblical figures, in case they are not represented […]
Set the Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes – Book Review, Preview
I seldom wish I had more stars to rate a book, however, Set the Stars Alight is one of the best stories I’ve read. Ever. I almost feel like I should put off reading anything else for a week or a month or two so as not to be overly […]
Legacy of the Curse by Deborah Grace White – Book Review, Preview
I found a big grin on my face while I was reading Legacy of the Curse. And not because it was all humorous, though parts of it were. It was just that kind of satisfying story that made me happy. And it is the type that had me reading slowly, […]
Whatever Happens Next by Jaycee Weaver – Book Review, Preview
Warren Peace – Nice Carr – Paige Turner These are just a tiny example of names creative parents have given to their children. In the past, the name given to a child held tremendous meaning and was given with much forethought. Many times in scripture, you see passages like and she named […]
Captives of the Curse by Deborah Grace White – Book Review, Preview
If you have not yet read Heir of the Curse, hurry and read that so you don’t have that experience spoiled. Captives of the Curse picks up where it leaves off and, while I’m going to be very careful about what I say here, I would hate to give away […]
The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin – Book Review, Preview
I’ve been looking forward to reading The Land Beneath Us, but now that I’ve finished, I’m a little sad this wonderful series has concluded. So now that I know how things worked out – I’m so glad!! It was the perfect conclusion. I even got teary at the end. I […]
An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz – Book Review, Preview
There is such a beauty to Laura Frantz’s writing style that resonates with my soul. Slipping into her stories is like slipping into my coziest pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate. Evocative, beautifully descriptive, with the ability to transport me to a different time that is at once familiar […]
On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna M. White – Book Review, Preview
Roseanna M. White presents one of the most beautiful analogies of forgiveness and grace that I have ever read. When Ara was wronged, and greatly so, she responded in such an gracious manner it stunned me. I know that grace is about God showing us kindness we don’t deserve. I […]

Isaiah’s Daughter by Mesu Andrews – Book Review, Preview
A new believer I know asked me to help her find verses about faith. As I thought about how to respond, I realized that reading a verse that says “have faith” isn’t what helps faith to grow. Here is how I responded. I can tell you over and over to […]
The End of the Magi by Patrick W. Carr – Book Review, Preview
As my grandma aged, she began to have problems with her eyes. The doctor warned that she had macular degeneration, which could lead to blindness. Instead of being frustrated or scared, Grandma had a plan. She began to memorize, not verses, but chapters and entire books of the Bible, to […]
