A Most Happy Thanksgiving to you

Hi friends, let me start by saying …

I mean, I’m not ordering you to be grateful or thankful or anything like that, but ’tis the season to at least consider it. Sometimes it can be good to force the focus on gratitude a little because it does shift one’s perspective. I find it otherwise exceedingly easy to complain.

Here are a few things I, personally am grateful for.

Our house is, at last, compl

Jennie Goutet answered Ravenclaw Silverstripe's question: Will George Clavering's friends (Amos, Whitmore, etc) be getting their own stories in the Clavering Chronicles? Hi, I haven't planned on it, but I'm not ruling it out entirely. (They are cute, aren't they)? ;-) I'm also somewhat tempted to tell Alice's brother's story - Bart. The problem is that I don't write quickly, and I have a couple of special projects I' See Full Answer

Jennie Goutet and 29 other people liked Mimi Matthews's review of A Fall from Grace (Clavering Chronicles, #1): "From my endorsement: A Fall from Grace is a sweet Cinderella-story of a Regency romance, with threads of Austen and Heyer. Jennie Goutet’s writing admirably evokes the era, giving her characters a romantic—and believable—happily-ever-after." Read more of this review »

“turned from the stables and strode back to the”
― Jennie Goutet, His Disinclined Bride

“have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, ‘My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.’ Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:5-7 & 11”

“And last, but not least, I had to abandon my autonomy in favor of obedience to God. That lesson was the hardest learned.”

Willing To Review Christian Group — 596 members — last activity Jan 15, 2023 12:58AM
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
