Are You Blessed Too Much?
How many times have you started a conversation with, “Hi! How are you?” Has anyone ever replied: “I’m so blessed that I’m miserable”? That would be my reply if you asked me that question today—and for the past few months. I’m adjusting to the new world of blessing in which the Lord has placed me. … Read More

Positioned in the Right Shadow
In the Shadow of Jezebel uses imagery of shadows to create a foreboding feeling throughout the book. Even the title warns you of the significant darkness we find in the icon of treacherous womanhood.

Meet the Heroine–In the Shadow of Jezebel
To meet the heroine of In the Shadow of Jezebel, we must unveil the “punchline” of the plot.
