Spilled Out - Part Four

(Over the next few weeks leading up to Easter, I've decided to change up my routine a bit and offer Bible stories about characters and their relationship to Jesus. I wanted to be able to see the arrest, crucifixion and resurrection from their eyes. We don't have all the details of these stories given in the Bible, so those parts have been fictionalized.

Looking around the table where Jesus and the other...

BOOK REVIEW: "Here Burns My Candle" by Liz Curtis Higgs

I had previously read some of the non-fiction works of Liz Curtis Higgs and loved them, so I was eager to read her fiction! I wasn't disappointed.



I was particularly drawn to this book by its locale, Scotland. Though I'm not Scottish, most of my family roots can be traced to the British Isles, especially Ireland and Wales. So as you might expect, I was eager to read this Christian historical novel set in Scotland in the mid-1700s during the time when Prince Charlie and his army ride into Edi...
