This little book — this book with the title Pain Redeemed – it sat by my bed for a few weeks before I opened it. I wanted to read it. There is nothing so thrilling as holding a real, live book written by a friend in your hands. Mine is even autographed, much to my joy! The night I [...]

On Writing from the Heart

Writing from the Heart @KindredGrace

by Nicole Unice The summer that I wrote my first book, I got a tattoo on the inside of my wrist. I didn’t get it to be a cool “rebel” Christian. I got it because it was my attempt at making myself write honest. The tattoo is one Greek word. The word is “tharseo” and [...]

Do you remember circle time? Your teacher, or mom, or Sunday School teacher would gather you and your peers into a little group and, as eyes widened and voices hushed (okay, not so hushed at times!), she would open up the pages of some intriguing story and you’d fall into the enchanting world of an [...]

With a title like The Meaning of Marriage, this book promises a lot.  And it doesn’t disappoint. An indepth study of marriage and how it refines and grows us, this book by Timothy Keller and his wife Kathy is neither a relational self-help manual nor a feel-good book.  It sets truth and fact squarely against [...]
