Ever feel like God is punishing you when life is hard? If so, maybe Jesus has been stolen from you. Somewhere along the way we can forget that our God is good and not standing over us ready to punish us if we have a misstep. This is not the way we want to live friends. This isn’t freedom in Christ!
If you feel like you have lost an understanding of Who Jesus is, Come and find Him again as Kathi Lipp and Jami Amerine discuss Jami’s book, Stolen Jesus.
WIN!

Book Review: The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend
I’m not a big fiction reader, but I love reading books about books. Most of us have dreamt of moving to a small quaint town and devouring books all day long while lounging on 
our wrap around porch. This is exactly what Sara from Sweden plans to do when she loses her bookselling job and decides to visit her pen pal Amy in the sleepy town of Broken Wheel, Iowa in Katrina Bivald’s novel, “The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend.”
Sara’s plans of lazy days of reading and catching up with her pen pal our disrupted as soon as she arrives. She soon discovers that small towns carry big drama and she finds herself smack dab in the middle of it all. Not all is as it seems as Sara is hit with more than a few surprises.
An Easy Read
I read this book on a trip to Chicago and Canada and got happily lost in the cast of delightful characters. I also enjoyed the references to other books, from Austen and Bridget Jones that are laced throughout the pages. “The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend,” is an easy, enjoyable read from start to finish. It is the perfect book for book lovers!
Enter to Win!
I am sending one of my readers my copy of this book! Simply comment below on why you want to read this book and you’ll be entered to win.
*Just a word on the books I read and review: I have a wide and varied sense of taste when it comes to books. I would love for you to enter and win one of my books – but if you are offended by book content, I would ask that you go online to read reviews to see if this book is for you before you enter to win.

Episode #267: Kickstart to Clutter Free
“Hi my name is Kathi and I am a clutterer.”
Maybe you can relate? Kathi and guest, Tonya Kubo, discuss what they have learned about common traits of those of us that struggle with clutter. Often those of us with clutter struggle with boundaries. We say yes to too many things and put ourselves last. Then because we don’t handle the clutter correctly we are mean to ourselves. We just try to do too much and set ourselves up for failure.
