I am sooooo excited to tell you about this brand new book from two of my friends, Tricia Goyer and Robin Jones Gunn. Last summer while I attended ICRS, a Christian Retail Show, I got to listen to these two talk about writing the chapters to this book and how very jazzed they were to get to read it. Then …

Review: How to be God’s Little Princess
As the mom of a tween and a three year old, princesses are quite the topic around my house. It’s hard to say which Disney princess is a favorite, but I know I want my girls to totally get to the core of their being that they are the ultimate princesses. Sounds like too much? It isn’t, because they are …
Why Robin Caroll Writes for Him & Giveaway
I’m a stubborn person. Okay, all who are reading this who know me are now laughing aloud and thinking, “That’s putting it mildly.” Anyway, I’m stubborn and independent and a little headstrong. (Ok, stop laughing now.) I just knew that when I wrote my first book, it’d be published. I mean, I wrote it, right? It should be published. Wrong. …

Why Faithful?
One of the true joys of the writing journey is the people I’ve met along the way. If I started giving you a list of the delightful people I’ve met, it would take pages. But today, I want to introduce you to a dear sister, Kim Cash Tate. We met at ACFW in 2009 and quickly discovered we had a …

Lightkeeper’s Bride Review & Giveaway
I wondered how Colleen would top the Lightkeeper’s Daughter, but Lightkeeper’s Bride manages to do just that. The book is set in the fictional town of Mercy Falls, California, during the Gilded Age. The book opens with an overheard phone call and an abandoned one year old. Katie’s curiosity won’t allow her to not follow up on the disturbing phone …
The Preacher’s Bride: a great historical novel & Giveaway
Today, I want to share a novel by debut author Jody Hedlund with you. I don’t know Jody well, other than bumping into her at ACFW conferences, but after reading this book, I can tell you she is one talented author. It doesn’t hurt that she’s another homeschooling mom. I have a feeling we’d be good friends if we lived …
A Hope Undaunted Review and Giveaway
I love Julie Lessman’s books. A Hope Undaunted is no exception. While the first book in a new series, if you’ve read the other books, you will love seeing favorite characters make reappearances. Katie O’Connor is a “modern” woman in the late 1920’s who has goals for her own future – which include a husband and a career. But when …
