Elisabeth Adams 12 Minute Read Michael Phillips is the author of at least 60 novels and 20 non-fiction books. A California native, he and his wife Judy raised three sons. They also ran their own press and bookshop, motivated largely by a desire to bring the works of the Scottish Victorian writer George MacDonald, the “Father of the Inklings,” back…
Elisabeth Adams 6 Minute Read Your vocation: what is it? It isn’t exactly the same as your career or job, says Jeff Goins, though it may include them. Its scope is life-long: it is the theme you will return to again and again, however many times your specific job description might change. The fact that I’ve gone from teaching English abroad…
Caroline Rose Sanders 6 Minute Read When I was a little girl, I lived in a green, three-story Victorian house which had come with a guest house. It was the only house on the market when my dad got the phone call. I can still see him at the phone in the kitchen with the long springy cord, hearing about the…
Callie Mitchell 8 Minute Read Last year, I left a conversation filled with inspiration and wonder, after learning from my dear friend, filmmaker Sarah Williams, the process involved in adapting a shared favorite novel into a film. For this year’s March of Books, I thought I might invite Sarah into the discussion to help us get to the bottom of…
Guest Author 5 Minute Read by Denise J. Hughes My grandma’s TV sat on the floor, with me right in front of it. As a kid, I flipped channels for hours. And every so often, an old movie channel would show a stiff-legged monster with outstretched arms, staggering toward a screaming woman. Flip. Not interested. For whatever reason, the story…
Danielle Carey 6 Minute Read The only way to be a writer is to write. Pulling those words from the heart and mind and getting them onto the page is at once the simplest and the most difficult thing in the world. But reading can help us learn what good words in good order look like. It teaches us how…
Rachelle Rea Cobb 4 Minute Read The night the dream-come-true news slipped into my life, I was oblivious. Looking back, I wonder at how Jesus must have chuckled, because I was on the recumbent bike watching television at the time the email arrived. I had no idea my life was about to change forever. The Wait It had been sixteen months since I…
Jessica Telian 4 Minute Read I don’t know about you, but I thrive on following rules. This isn’t always the best thing, and it’s something that God has been working on in me for quite a few years. Back in my in-school years though, it was out full-force. I loved it when an assignment told me exactly what to do….
Kindred Grace Team 11 Minute Read One of our favorite parts of the day is reading the emails you write us here at Kindred Grace. Sometimes, you’re writing with prayer requests or to share a story close to your heart. Other times, you’re writing with a question, a plea for help. And one of the most common themes to your questions…
Vicki V. Lucas 6 Minute Read I’m a bit different than most authors. (Okay, I’m a bit different than most people!) But I can relate closer to authors in many ways except one. I never really wanted to be an author. Oh, I dabbled in writing stories. I wrote a few short stories for high school and college. I even had a…
Guest Author 4 Minute Read For years, I buried my gift. Like the man in Matthew 25, I took what God had given me and hid it out of fear. Admitting this feels a bit shameful, because I have seen the fruit of spending the gift in Jesus’ name. I’ve gathered up words and prayed and shipped them out into the world expectant and hopeful that God can, and would use them as He found worthy so to do. But it wasn’t always this way.
Caroline Rose Sanders 3 Minute Read When I was first told that I had the gift of encouragement, it sounded kind of frilly. Why not something more powerful, like healing or teaching or speaking in languages I’ve never learned? I wanted to be on the front lines of the spiritual battle, not sitting on the sidelines patting someone’s hand and telling…
The End.
