Trina Holden 3 Minute Read When I first heard of Emily’s book , I thought, Grace? Check. Good? Check. Girl? Check. All those words were familiar to me, so I thought I didn’t need this book.

Chantel 3 Minute Read Most people may never know, because I can make a brave face when I need to. But I think you should know that deep inside, I am Much-Afraid. I’m not afraid of dark nights, or big storms. I’m not afraid of being home alone or even of poverty. I am not afraid to stand my…
Natasha Metzler 4 Minute Read I read it the first time when I was fifteen. I was enthralled with the title, with the woman, with the dream of someday being like her.

Elisabeth Allen 4 Minute Read Through the highs and the lows of her story, Katie writes with passion for God. It’s not a passion that says that everyone should live her sort of life. It’s the sort of passion that inspires my faith in God and my love for Him and the people He’s put in my world.
Chantel 4 Minute Read I don’t like reading books on the computer. In fact, I only consent to do so if I absolutely have to. The screen hurts my eyes after a while and I’m always losing my place. I can’t curl up with my computer quite like I can with a book. I can’t take a laptop with…

Caroline Rose Sanders 4 Minute Read When I was a little girl, I told everyone that I wanted to be an artist when I grew up. As I got older, I realized that my truer passion was writing.
