BEGINNINGS and MYSTERIES
P.S. Remember to leave comments all month for chances to win these books, along with mentioning whether or not you’re signed up for my newsletter, twitter, and like my Facebook page.
I released another devotional this month, Beginnings: 30 Days in Genesis – Exodus. For those of you planning to read through the Bible this year, it’s an excellent aid to get started. And if one of your New Year’s resolutions is to read through the Bible, check out my suggestions at More to Life Magazine.
This book gives me the goosebumps. I love reading the Bible. Even at my age, I keep finding things I never noticed before, that sense of “how did I miss that before?” Although Beginnings is presented in a devotional style, it shows how my mind works when I’m reading through my Bible. See how my mind works on subjects such as:
Timeline. Was Adam still alive when Noah was born? Maybe not, but check out Day Two, The One and Only.
What the Bible doesn’t say. Check out Day Three, Where Did All the Bodes Go?
Contradictions: Nimrod the “great hunter before the Lord” but also the man who built Babylon. “Righteous Lot” who lived in Sodom. Check out Day Four, The Great Hunter Before the Lord.
Does it really say that? Checking different translations of the Bible to arrive at the truth. Check out Day Eighteen, Pharaoh’s Final Solution
Why did God act that way? We may not understand God’s timing—look at poor Moses on Day Nineteen, Higher Standard
Ouch, God, that touched a nerve. When God shows us something wrong in our own lives—for me, it was Day Twenty-three, Customer Complaints.
I never noticed that before. How did I miss seeing something that neat in all the times I read it before? Day twenty-seven, God’s Tattoo.
I hope you join me as I begin this journey through the Bible. Next up, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—hopefully in March.
Since I’ve offered three devotionals in a row, my featured book is the 3-in-1 volume of my mystery series, Dressed for Death. The first book, Gunfight at Grace Gulch, will be featured in a two-week long blog tour, with daily giveaways. Check it out at Escape With Dolly.
So it made sense for me to offer the 3-in-1 volume of the Dressed for Death series. It combines my state of residence – Oklahoma – with my love for history – of course, with a vintage clothing store owner for the heroine – and wacky characters galore.
In addition to the devotional series I am working on this year, I am writing a new mystery series, Murder by the Case. I wrote the first book, Case Closed, during November’s NANO and now I’m editing it. Read any of my Dressed for Death mysteries to discover Darlene the mystery writer!
