The Book That Changed My Life
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.
It was not an easy book to read.

My Favorite Place to Read {Photo Link-Up}
2 Minute Read Where is your nook? Is it shady or sunshiny? Inside or out? In a swinging hammock or on your bed? Do you prefer to read curled up on the sofa or in an old rocking chair? Maybe you love to read in the bus on the way to work or on your lunch break between…

organizing books
4 Minute Read Through much of high school and college, I worked in a library. In spite of that, I’m rather, shall we say, unconventional in my book organization. No Dewey Decimal system for this ex-librarian! For me, it’s purely a matter of things looking well organized.

of purity, secrets, and waiting
8 Minute Read The idea of purity – especially sexual purity – has got something of a bad rap in recent decades. Society calls it a conservative cliché. Feminists see it as a hanger-on from the days when culture was balanced heavily in the favour of men. They view purity as an unhealthy patriarchal construct designed to inhibit…

Fox in Socks
2 Minute Read One evening found me in the kitchen with two 20-something friends, passing a book from hand to hand, one we each read aloud with gusto. Three people meant three complete read-throughs, but not a single complaint. What was the book? Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss. Who could resist a tongue-twister that has its own…

Kisses from Katie: Review
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.

a missionary in a library
2 Minute Read I feel wealthy when I walk into the library. To think that I have the privilege to use these books, that I can meander and pull whatever I want off the shelf, that I have access to so many thousand of books through this building…

Walking On Water
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. At that point, I decided I wanted to marry an artist when I grew up (that way, he could illustrate my books!). Though I still…

A Women’s Resolution?
4 Minute Read In the fall of 2010, I had the privilege of watching the very first pre-showing of the movie Courageous during my internship at Focus on the Family. It was a night that changed my life. As I walked out of the theater, I began asking the promoters and Courageous staff what they were going to…

in which we like to talk about books (the third annual March of Books begins!)
3 Minute Read I like to talk about books. If it didn’t already come up naturally with everyone I know, it would be the perfect thing to ask when conversation lagged: “What books have you been reading lately?” (Or, as is more likely for me and other young moms and students, “What book are you trying to make…
The End.
