Prayer is my passion. I want to learn everything I can about prayer, and have been reading every prayer book I can find. So, of course, I said yes when offered the opportunity to review a new prayer devotional. She Prays is a 31-day devotional book designed to guide women in their conversations with God.…
It's still October, but Hallmark is already in Christmas mode, and Lifetime kicks off It's a Wonderful Lifetime this weekend, so it must be that time of year already. Personally, I much prefer to wait until Thanksgiving to start my Christmas movie viewing. However, Christmas Jars hits theaters November 4, and I don't want you…
I remember when Alexandra Boylan announced they were filming Catching Faith 2 in Louisville, Kentucky and were in need of an actress to play the key role of Grandma. I had no idea who they'd end up casting, but once I saw the movie, it was obvious they had found the perfect actress to capture…
Guest Post By Rev. Clay Herd Getting Up From Being Down is a book by Dr. S. Todd Townsend. With him being a pastor, educator, and rap hip hop artist, I didn’t really know what to expect when I picked it up. I will admit my hesitation in this book. From the cover it looks…
I've always loved children's books, and with a grandbaby on the way, it's given me added incentive to keep up with the latest releases. Night Night Devotions by award-winning author Amy Parker is a devotional for the littlest ones. Night Night Devotions has a nice, sturdy hardback cover with fun graphics that will appeal to…
I Am Brave is the latest book in the Brave Girls series. I wasn't familiar with the series until I got the review invitation, but I'm excited to discover it. I Am Brave is the kind of book I would have absolutely loved to have when I was a tween, and I look forward to…
As you may have noticed, my passion nowadays is prayer. This past summer I led our women at church in a weekend prayer retreat, and I'm already looking forward to leading our next one come spring. When I got the invitation to review City of Prayer by Trey Kent and Kie Bowman, I jumped on…
As you've probably noticed, my focus has shifted from films to women's ministry. Summer of '67 was our final movie. It released June 2018, and though it's still making its way along the festival circuit, and we're still making appearances at film events, we are no longer in the movie-making business. In January of this…
I've been so busy recently, I've not allowed myself the luxury of reading fiction. I tend to lose myself in a good story, and that can be counter productive when I've got a lot going on. With that said, I was thankful to receive the invitation to review a new historic romance, my favorite genre,…
This year at Christian Product Expo, I tried to focus on authors with stories of interest to women in ministry. Most of my interviews were with women, but Dr. Ingvoldstad's story worked because his book tells of his ministry in Haiti. Road Trip: One Doctor's Call to Haiti released this month. https://youtu.be/-U3kv-1pFbU Social Corner: Dr.…
