conversations between sisters in Christ
We love listening to Dr. Ravi Zacharias on the radio. He has the most beautiful accent. And his messages always make us think, stretching our mental muscles with his intelligence. I’m not sure why it took us so long to read his book on marriage. Maybe because the title led us to believe it was [...]
Do you have insecurities about your body? If you answered “no,” you’re in the minority among American women. If you answered “yes,” you’ll probably want to read Annie Downs’ book, Perfectly Unique. Not content with talking about areas of insecurity and trying to make us feel better about our bodies, Annie goes straight for the [...]
Elisabeth: A very warm welcome to Kindred Grace! We have reviewed your book From Head to Foot in the past, and are excited for you now that it has been picked up by a traditional publisher and found a new life as Perfectly Unique. But before you ever wrote a book, you were a blogger [...]
Psst … pull up a chair and I’ll tell you a secret. You’d better lean in close for this one. Ready? You don’t have to do more, be more, have more.

According to Dr. Rosset, To be a Christian woman of dignity, a woman must know [...]
My year ended softly, gently. A welcome respite from the past several months of turmoil and emotion and change and adjustments, I spent the first day of the new year with one of my dearest friends reflecting on the past year and preparing (bracing, really) for a new one. During the season of refreshment, she [...]

I remember when I first read Rachel Jankovic’s debut book, Loving the Little Years. The feeling of relief and encouragement was profound. Finally! Here was a parenting book author who understood where I was coming from. At that point, I had two little ones under the age of two and it seemed like all [...]
