Women's Bible study journey making our way through the Bible, one woman at a time
Dear Sister is not the usual book that I review. It's actually a compilation of letters written by Gisela Yohannan written to encourage women living in locations around the world that are hostile to Christianity. They cover seven years of letters from 1999-2005. Gisela Yohannan's husband is the Director of Gospel for Asia. Gisela ministers to…
I've got so much going on nowadays that I'm not doing many book reviews, but when I read the synopsis for Along a Storied Trail, I had to make an exception. Kentucky packhorse librarian Tansy Calhoun doesn't mind the rough trails and long hours as she serves her mountain community during the Great Depression. Even…
I love discovering new music so when I was invited to preview Gary LeVox's first solo EP, I jumped at the chance. I'm so glad I did. I love it! I look for three different types of music: 1) Writing music - soothing, familiar, often instrumental that I can have playing in the background while…
I grew up with King James Bibles. If I recall correctly, my first Bible was a Children's Living Bible. Then when I accepted Christ as a second grader, my parents bought me a red leather KJV Bible that I still have. As I got older I spread my wings a bit. I spent many years…
I've always enjoyed books that are a compilation of authors. I love to have an overall theme with different voices sharing their perspectives or their stories. Arise to Peace is one of those books, and I'm honored to be one of the contributing writers. Arise to Peace is a 72 day devotional book with the…
When selecting historic fiction books, I lean towards turn of the century, especially those that take place in the southern states. I don't read many western stories, unless there's a specific draw for me. Dreams Rekindled by Amanda Cabot had that draw when I saw it involved a newspaper and the impact journalists have on…
I love period movies, especially those based on true stories. I especially enjoy movies about the 60's and 70's, so I was excited when I was offered the chance to screen Roe v. Wade in advance of its release next week. I've heard about this movie for awhile, but honestly hadn't paid much attention since…
I remember when a Bible was just a Bible, and all you had to choose from when selecting a new Bible was which version and binding you wanted. Nowadays, the possibilities are limitless. Bibles are themed, each targeting a different demographic and approaching the Word of God from a different perspective. The NIV Verse Verse…
I'm obsessed with the turn of the century time period. I live in a late 1800's house, I love Victorian furniture, and my favorite books take place in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Set the story in the south, especially Tennessee or Kentucky, and I'm in. The Moonlight School by Suzanne Woods Fisher meets…
From the moment I met Caroline George, I knew she was destined for greatness. Her dad and I were college friends, and he connected us when she came to Belmont University as a college freshman. At the time, she was already a published author, and when I read her work, I was blown away by…
