    Come to Jesus Release Day: Who is This Book For?

    Today is the launch day for Come to Jesus. That means that (as of this morning) you can hop on to Amazon and either buy a paperback copy or have an e-book immediately delivered to your e-reader. But before you do that, I want to answer this question: Who is Come to Jesus for? Is it…

  • Why I Didn’t Want to Write a Book (& why I wrote it anyway)

    Why I Didn’t Want to Write a Book (& why I wrote it anyway)

    It all started about two years ago. While running in a nearby neighborhood, I began praying and thinking through goals for 2017. My thoughts meandered to the writing segment of my life. Should I continue to write? My husband has always encouraged me to keep writing, so I knew what his vote would be. But…

    My 8 favorite books of 2018

    I did not do a marvelous job of keeping track of the books I read in 2018. I’m guessing I read less than last year’s number of 35, considering we moved this year and I spent a good deal of time completing my book, Come to Jesus. Regardless, as I looked back through the list…

    My 5 Favorite Books of 2017

    2017 was a profitable year for reading. I read a bit over 35 books including both fiction and non-fiction works. A person has said that the definition of a good book is one you read when you need to read it. I suppose that could be said about the following five titles. I chose these…

    7 books I want to read

    A few years ago I remember seeing lots of Summer Reading Lists floating around the ‘net. Inspired by the idea, I began collecting ideas for my own summer reading list. Until I realized my summer schedule with small children looks fairly identical to my fall, winter, and spring schedule and free reading time doesn’t automatically appear…

    what’s in my library bag

    As I’m writing this post, I currently have 53 items checked out from the library. One of those is an overdue book which we have not been able to locate for approximately 2 weeks: The Magic School Bus Takes a Dive. Fie on thee, lost book. I would not expect you would want to see the…
