A special Tuesday post before my normal Wednesday posting: Please check out this wonderful giveaway from author Kathi Macias! Click here to enter a special extended Mother’s Day drawing of her devotional book, Mothers of the Bible Speak to Mothers of Today. Kathi Macias is a wonderfully faithful author of Christ-honoring books, both […]
It’s been a privilege and wonderful learning experience to be part of New Mexico writer Norma Gail’s book launch team this spring for her contemporary inspirational romance novel, Land of My Dreams. I’ve just recently gotten my own e-copy to read, and the story is truly blessing me, the message of “where God is when […]
I first heard of author Catherine Richmond a few years ago, when we both became part of the Transformational Fiction group for writers who write stories that deal with tough issues in the light of God’s redemption and grace. (Check out and “like” our Facebook page here!) But it wasn’t until this winter that I […]
Perhaps my favorite section in C.S. Lewis’s second-written Chronicle of Narnia, Prince Caspian, happens when young Lucy encounters Aslan one night in the forest. She had seen the Great Lion the day before, but since no one else could see him, nor would believe her that he wanted them to follow him a […]
I went on a bus trip to heaven the other night. We sat on padded chairs in the rearranged sanctuary of a community church and watched as a troop of Christian actors—the same group who gave Godspell a couple of years ago —brought C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce to life before our eyes. We joined […]

I’ve been sick for the past week. It’s been a while since I was truly sick—I’ve been fighting bugs all fall, but this one got me, with a genuine bad sore throat, slight cold, and yucky-feeling chest. At first, I’ll admit I half enjoyed it—the excuse to lie around and read Sherlock Holmes, watch a […]
Early last year, I connected with a lovely authoress after I watched an online interview she did on human trafficking, the focus of several of her novels. When I emailed to thank her for helping raise my awareness, this gracious lady, Kathi Macias, offered to send me one of her books for free, so I […]
