Cooking the Books CFBA Tour
This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Cooking The Books Abingdon Press (April 2012) by Bonnie S. Calhoun
Because of when I received this book, I haven't had a chance to finish it yet. What I can tell you is that the author does a great job of creating a main character who is sassy, witty, and has hints of brokeness. I can't wait to get deeper into the story

Homeschooling: Is it for you?
It's that time of year when parents thoughts turn toward where their kids should go to school in the fall. For some, their thoughts will turn to homeschooling. How can you evaluate whether homeschooling might be right for your family?
I have often heard my mom tell people that homeschooling is for every child...it's just not for every parent. What she means is that every child can thrive in a

Interview with Cheryl McKay and giveaway!!!!

Sixty Acres and a Bride Review
In Sixty Acres and a Bride, the author weaves a tale that breathes new life into the Biblical story of Ruth and Naomi. Set in Texas, Rosa Garner follows her mother-in-law to the old family ranch. Time and taxes threaten to steal it from them. Rosa tries so hard to follow all the rules that confront her that are so different from those she's used to in her native Mexico. Yet every turn and
The Chase Review
This is probably one of my favorite books of DiAnn's. I loved the writer who's following a dream being paired with a FBI agent who is a loner and willing to do whatever it takes to keep Houston safe. Kariss Walker is compelled to dig ever deeper when children are involved. Because of an event in her past, she can't let go and is determined to write a book based on an unidentified girl who

CFBA Tour: Missing
This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Missing Avon Inspire; Original edition (March 20, 2012) by Shelley Shepard Gray
I really enjoyed this book. It's the first in a series so some threads are left for another book, but I enjoyed following Lydia and Walker's stories. And I can't wait to return to Crittendon County for the next installment. The pacing is good,

3 Things to do on Mackinac Island
My family and I adore Mackinac Island. We've made two trips there and hope to head back up there in July for a booksigning.
With A Wedding Transpires on Mackinac Island releasing April 1st, my thoughts keep wandering back to Mackinac and why we like it. Maybe you've heard of the island. Maybe you're planning a trip there yourselves. Either way, here are a few things we love to do on the island

Monday Meditation: Are we willing to follow?
View of one of Mackinac Island's churches
Yesterday our church dedicated its new building. But really we dedicated ourselves to the on-going service of the Lord.
We had the opportunity to examine where we are, where we want to go, and the idea that this is only one more step toward a new beginning.
God is like that. Always moving to a new place. And asking us if we are willing to move with
