I loved False Witness the first time it came out. So when I learned about the re-issue, I was curious to see if I’d notice any changes or if anything major would change. Instead, even though I’d read the book before, I found myself pulled into the plot as if I read it for the first time. Randy Singer is …

Fully Engaged: how to do less and BE more
Don’t you love the title of this book? I seriously considered not participating in this blog tour because anyone who knows me knows I am ABYSMAL at being. Instead I move on do, do, do, and squeeze in a bit more doing. Just the other night I mentioned to my husband that I’d probably work less if I had one …
Double Take Review
When this book arrived in the mail, I wasn’t sure if my daughter would even find Double Take interesting. Maybe because she enjoyed Kathleen Fuller’s Amish mysteries for YA, she scooped this one up practically before I could get it out of the envelope. A day later she handed it back to me asking where the next one is. I …
Review: My Foolish Heart
Susan May Warren is one of my favorite authors, but somehow before receiving My Foolish Heart, i hadn’t read any of her Deep Haven novels. Trust me, I’ll be rectifying that little oversight. The elements I most enjoy about Susie’s books are present in My Foolish Heart. First, the characters are so completely human and flawed. They each have deep …
Classic Hollywood Reviews: My Favorite Wife
I’m slipping back to Hollywood for a week, just because, I miss it! And this movie is too fun. It doesn’t take long to realize I’m a Cary Grant fan. I won’t list all the reasons why, but this movie was a great addition to my viewing repertoire. The basic set up is that Cary Grant’s character is at court …
The Fitting Room: Where We Cloth Ourselves in Christ
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12 Anybody else ever get intimidated by the idea of clothing ourselves in such heady garments? You might as well tell me I have to fill my wardrobe with Armani and other designer names I could never afford. In fact, …
Children’s Book: That’s when I talk to God
As a mom, I love to find books that help me break complicated ideas about faith into easy to understand concepts. This book does just that with prayer. Sometimes it’s tricky to help our kids understand that they can pray anytime about anything. In this beautifully illustrated book, Dan and Ali Morrow walk children through the different times they can …
Praying for Your Future Husband…Giveaway
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: Grandma’s Attic and More Stories from Grandma’s Attic
Any of you remember reading these books as tweens? I loved the In Grandma’s Attic books, but my one complaint is that the print was so small I haven’t been able to interest my ten year old in them. These new editions take care of that issue, by making these wonderful short stories easy-to-read. And engaging illustrations have been added …
