Jeannie Pederson 3 Minute Read I love books. And I love having them in places I can see them and access them easily. If you aren’t blessed with a library with built-in bookshelves (that was a gift from God when we bought our 1880’s house!), you may find yourself in need of more storage space. Here are some ideas for…
Emily C. Gardner 3 Minute Read Just like there are a few conversation topics I generally avoid talking about at a party, there are certainly a list of topics I generally avoid (probably subconsciously) when picking a new book to read. My pleasure reading doesn’t usually involve death, dying, or illness. Sometimes those things play a small supporting role in the plot,…

Chantel 4 Minute Read I was probably nine when I had my first major face-off with one of my greatest troubles. I was sent up to teach the kindergartners their church school lesson one week. I’d practiced and practiced and written down every single little word that I was going to say. But when I got up there, I felt the…
Kindred Grace Team 3 Minute Read 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…

Trina Holden 3 Minute Read My first book was just a cookbook. Friends chide me when I seem to diminish my work with that little word ‘just’.
