christian fiction wednesday 01-08-14

I’ve only got one release to share with you this Christian Fiction Wednesday, but it’s a good one. I’m so excited to introduce Cara Putman’s brand new release to the readers of my blog. I know many of you love WWII history just as much as I do, and this book sounds custom made for us. Enjoy!

SHADOWED BY GRACE

by Cara Putman

Rachel Justice is desperate to save her dying mother. She doesn’t want to leave her, but she accepts her newspaper’s assignment to travel to Italy and photograph war images....

the story behind the story of A Promise Kept

Today marks the official release day of A Promise Kept. It seems I’ve been waiting a long, long time for this moment. I hope it’s a book you will read and enjoy and derive hope from. Please, if you do read it, I would be very honored if you would take a moment to review it on Amazon and/or Goodreads and/or your favorite online retailer’s web site.

Below is an article that I wrote for the January issue of Family Fiction magazine. I also sent it out to my newsletter subscribers last week, but I...

ministry or money redux

I am busy writing, writing, writing. Trying to finish another book. Anyway, time available for blogging is about zip. So I thought I would grab an earlier post from my old Write Thinking blog and re-post it here. The post below came from November 2012, and I think it’s worthy of repeating.

Recently, a friend posed a couple of questions to a group of writers for a workshop she was preparing. The idea sprang from something she’d heard at a conference when the speaker asked (my paraphrase), “If J...

A MATCH MADE IN TEXAS

In the small town of Dry Gulch, Texas, a good-hearted busybody just can’t keep herself fro...

family fiction feature

When I got up this morning, there was a notice awaiting me on my iPad. The new digital issue of Family Fiction Magazine was ready for download.

Since the “story behind the story” of A Promise Kept is their cover feature for January, I have been eager to receive my copy of this issue. Below is the cover of the magazine and after it are the opening two pages of the article. Didn’t Family Fiction do a lovely job with the color and wedding rings? So appealing. And it goes nicely with the cover of...

reflections on 2013 & my word for 2014

My reflections on the year just past has become an annual end-of-December blog post. I always have fun as I look back and make my lists. How about you?

My word for 2013: QUENCHED

John 4:13–14 says:

Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

I had a goal to journal about this word thr...

unto us is born a savior

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was w...

the night before christmas … edited!

My friend Kristin Billerbeck had this graphic of The Night Before Christmas on her blog, and I just had to pass along the laughter to my friends. Writers and editors may get the biggest kick out of all the red and green pen marks (and perhaps a twinge of pain or two), but I think readers will like it too.
