The Orphan’s Wish by Melanie Dickerson – Book Review, Preview
Guilt and feelings of inadequacy can be such powerful motivators, driving us to work hard for the approval of others. Working hard isn’t necessarily a bad thing, nor is seeking approval. However, when we think we need to work for God’s approval, then there is a problem. Praise God we […]
Misstep by Deborah Dee Harper – Book Review, Excerpt, Preview
Jean eased down into a perfect execution of the splits. I was amazed. I don’t think I have ever been that flexible and my dear friend is a septuagenarian. She still lives by herself, cares for her granddaughter, helps with Sunday School, and hosts a Bible study for women. She […]
The Hope of Azure Springs by Rachel Fordham – Book Review, Preview

Never Borrow a Baronet by Regina Scott – Book Review, Preview, Excerpt
Over the years, I have had a lot of fun creating concoctions for my skin, and in the process have learned some important lessons. Like making sure the lid of the blender is on well before turning it on. Yeah, my hardwood floor got waxed with beeswax and something herbal […]
Falling for the Cowgirl by Tina Radcliffe – Book Review, Preview
I have worked in a male-dominated industry for the past couple of decades. It has always been a little obvious at the office but attending conferences made it abundantly clear that I was in the minority. I can remember one where there were a few thousand attendees, and I could […]
