In our blog post every Monday we select a reading from the Revised Common Lectionary for the upcoming Sunday, and pair it with a Frederick Buechner reading on the same topic.

This Sunday we will celebrate The Twenty-Second Sunday After Pentecost.  Here is this week’s reading from the book of Job:

This is genius, actually — and exactly what I’ve been saying for years was going to happen. From the Times of London; emphasis below is mine:

BBC staff have been told to use non- binary pronouns when addressing gender-fluid or transgender employees to ensure that the corporation does not develop...

I’m thrilled to announce BONDS OF BRASS, the first book of a trilogy (!!?!?!?!?!?), will be published by Del Rey in Spring 2020!

Things you’ll find in BONDS OF BRASS:

Hello everyone! Things have heated up this week in the review front of Hydranos and I’m sharing with you one of the most thorough and humbling reviews the novel has received up till now. All feedback is of course always most welcome and constructive, however I cannot but acknowledge and embrace t...

A quick confession: I’ve had a bias against large print Bibles. They seemed to me to be designed only for older saints with poor vision. I didn’t see any use for these Bibles aside from the back row or the resource table at church.

I was wrong.

When I received the ESV Lar...

In yesterday’s devotional we looked at 10 great benefits of God’s grace in our lives. As you read those benefits, you may have wondered how you can receive that grace in your life. It would be tragic to discover all God wants to do in you through his grace yet never accept it in your life.

So how...

Only about three weeks until The Phoenix Illusion releases on November 6 in print, ebook, and audio! Without further ado, here’s your weekly snippet:

I haven’t always done well in the balancing act between work and play. I’ve learned over the years that when I work too hard, my creativity shrivels up and the work I love becomes a chore. When I play too much when I should discipline myself to work, I end up at my computer bleary-eyed, late into...

It’s time again to round up a new batch of debut novels — this time for October!

This round-up includes debut novels, where “debut” is in its purest definition. These are first-time books by first-time authors. I’m not including books by authors who are using or have used a pseudonym in the pa...

We zitten nu echt in het najaar: september is voorbij. Het was een bewogen én een mooie maand en ik vertel je graag wat mijn favorieten waren: mijn favoriete maaltijd, dag, boek, wijn, gadget en beautyproduct.

Het bericht Favorieten van september verscheen eerst op Cynthia.

Έχω διαβάσει κάποιους να αναρωτιούνται γιατί σήμερα τα βιβλία είναι μεγαλύτερα απ’ό,τι παλιά. Και εγώ αναρωτιέμαι γιατί αναρωτιούνται. Θέλω να πω, δεν είναι προφανές;

Φταίει η τεχνολογία, φυσικά.

Κρίνω από τον εαυτό μου. Όταν ήμουν μικρός έγραφα στη γραφομηχανή. Αν και αυτή η εποχή δεν ήταν τόσο...

I was encouraged by your note and your desire to become a Christian apologist. I must confess that I hate that word, “apologist” and wish we would decide, as a group, to strike it from our vocabulary. I know, of course, that you understand the meaning of the original, Greek word, “apologia,” and...

Older holiday books for kids have a tendency to be a bit on the white side. So I was thinking I was pretty slick when I came up with A Tiger Called Thomas for today’s discussion. But here’s the thing; I thought the version illustrated by Diana Cain Bluthenthal was the only one out there. I was un...

[image error]I am writing a scene where my heroine gets shot in the scuffle with the bad guy. If she’s shot in the brachial artery in her left arm, is it conceivable that she’d pass out and bleed a lot? Her firefighter hero is there and immediately rips off his shirt and balls it up to...

Okay, I’m starting to feel the quarterly pressure. The questions are pouring in, asking in polite, dulcet tones, “Oh please, madam, might you tell us where stands the progress of booketh number five?”

A (apologetically late) shout-out to anyone who’s going to be at Fantasycon 2018 in Chester this year!  There’s loads of wonderful people going, and I have a feeling large quantities of alcohol will be consumed as a side-effect of this; it’s also just a really friendly, fun place to meet fellow l...

Christmas cards. I love to send them. I love to receive them. Don’t you?

Every year for the past four or five years I’ve been sending Christmas cards out and every year as the season approaches I get excited as I select a graphic and think about the message on the back and prepare to send 1000+ ca...
