New BFF Members on the Way!
It’s time for us to add a few new members to our flock, but I wanted to chat with my original adventurers first! Y’all have been amazing. Patient and full of grace as we’ve worked out some of the kinks and learned together about marketing In the Shadow of Jezebel. Yay, Waterbrook/Multnomah! Most of y’all are aware … Read More

What Can You Share?
Today, we’re going to talk about BFFs–not “best friends forever,” but Biblical Fiction Fans. Last January, I asked fifty BFFs to join me in a special venture to help spread the word about my new release, In the Shadow of Jezebel, and I promised we’d add more members later in 2014. The time to add more BFFs … Read More

Who Has Bigger Hands by Renee Ann Smith
My grandmother fed people. The soup that simmered in her deep stock pot all winter long was ladled out to mailman and milkman and whoever happened by. Sunday meant roast and gravy and melt-in-your-mouth biscuits for those who gathered round her table. The typical bedtime snack for overnight guests would be root beer floats served … Read More

Mountaintop God
I’ve been at our friends’ mountain cabin now for six days (It’s actually been a week, but I went home for a shower in the middle). This is the second year the Long’s have generously made their off-grid cabin available for my writing excursions. The place is amazing. Breath-taking view. Plush carpet, and a comfy … Read More

Through the Pain by Angie Arndt
If you have a chronic illness, disease or syndrome, you know what it’s like to be miserable and misunderstood. There are probably times when you are so depressed, you just want to disappear. There may be other times when you feel so good that you overdo and really pay for it the next day. Then … Read More

Declaration of Dependence
Believe it or not, I hated history in school. Crazy, right? How can a historical fiction author hate history? Because I’m a historical biblical fiction author—and until I could find some eternal significance in our historical past, I saw no need to study it. Guess what? Found it. History’s Reach–Past, Present, and Future I study the Bible because … Read More

How to Thrive Through a Trial
Hi all. This is Tina here with you today. I’ve just recently finished a fantastic Bible study on the life of Peter by Stephen J. Binz. It was billed as “A Transforming Experience with the Word of God” and, I must say, it lived up to that for me. It has been a long time … Read More

Author Interview–Tessa Afshar
Have you ever met someone who is short in stature but a giant in character, spunk, and faith? That’s how I felt about Tessa Afshar when I met her at the American Christian Fiction Writers’ (ACFW) Conference in 2012. This little dynamo was–and is–one of my favorite authors on the planet, and she’s written my favorite biblical … Read More

In the Dark by Charles Arndt
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12 Several years ago I worked for a mining company outside of Knoxville Tenn. Every day we went approximately 2600 feet below ground level … Read More

The 10 Commandments—For Your Own Good
Can we all agree that the phrase, “It’s for your own good,” should be stricken from every parent’s lips? What kid wants to eat ANYTHING after hearing that phrase? If we were publishing a How To Manual for parents of newborns, “it’s for your own good” would be in the section, “Don’t You Dare Say This”—along with, … Read More
