As I prepared to lead our women's prayer retreat, I read dozens of prayer books including When You Don't Know What to Pray by Linda Evans Shepherd, so I was excited when I got the invitation to review her newest book. I like both books, but this one really resonates with me. When You Need…
In March I joined Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA). I wasn't initially sure how much I would get out of the group but have been so pleasantly surprised by all the connections I've made already. I'm loving learning about the other members' books and projects. One of those is Heart Wisdom, the latest in…
In 2012 Fred bought the domain FaithFlix.com. At the time we didn't have a use for it, but he bought it with the expectation that at some point we would need it. And we did. After attending NRB Convention in 2013, I felt inspired to start blogging about the faith-film industry. Faith Flix was conceived…
I spent last weekend in Elizabethtown, Kentucky at the Kentucky Christian Writers Conference. This month has been crazy busy, and I've been running around with no down time, so I arrived breathless and exhausted. Friday morning they placed the appointment schedule sheets on a table and opened it for attendees to sign up for 15…
I wanted to like Reluctant Belle. I really did. But I'm afraid it just didn't work for me. Storyline Joelle Daughtry, the impoverished Southern belle, has been helping her sisters in their quest to turn the run-down family plantation into a resort hotel after the close of the Civil War. But by night and under…
Guest post by Rev. Clay Herd. This Father’s Day I have the joy to review the He Reads Truth Bible. I will admit, because of the quick turnaround time of receiving the Bible and having to write the review, I did not get to drive with this thing very long. Keeping that in mind, let’s…
I met Michael Warren years ago when he was a part of our cast for The Good Book. He brought his grandfather along so he wouldn't have to travel alone, and as we were all sitting around after supper one night, we learned that his grandfather had been a Bible smuggler. So, being filmmakers, we…
It wasn't until we started making the film festival rounds that I ever watched documentaries. And even though I've seen some great ones, and was looking forward to watching this one, as the movie began, I found myself thinking of the theatrical release and wondering how many people would go see this documentary about the…
As you may have noticed, I have a slight obsession with women in the Bible. I love to not only read their original stories in the Bible, but also to read Bible studies and other books that feature different biblical women. The Women Who Met Jesus: New Testament Stories of Lives Transformed by the Author…
I love historical fiction that takes place in real locations, especially if I've been to that location. While I've never been to Yellowstone National Park where Ever Faithful takes place, author Karen Barnett brought it to life in such a way that it definitely made me want to visit. Ever Faithful is # 3 in…
