Looking out the Window: Introducing Deborah Malone's New Devotional Book, Bloom in Your Winter Season. Celebrating the Release with a Giveawy of Hair Calamities and Hot Cash.

My friend, Deborah Malone, compiled a book of devotionals, Bloom in Your Winter Season.

The book features twenty-three contributing authors, including yours truly.

Deborah says, “Ladies there is good news for you! God did not stamp an expiration date on our foreheads. Just ask the “seasoned” women from the Bible if God used them – Sarah, Miriam, and Naomi are just a few he used in mighty ways.

Bloom in Your Winter Season will introduce you to many more women who were still active in ministry during their mature years. After discovering these women’s journeys during their winter seasons, you will find that He can and will use you too, and learn to become a Winter Warrior for God.

What Others Are Saying

Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author says, “With insight and spiritual maturity, Deborah Malone reveals we can bloom in our winter season.

From the depths of her own life’s experiences, Deborah Malone teaches us that God can use our most challenging seasons to bring him glory. Bloom in Your Winter Season will remind you that there is no expiration date on God’s plan for our life. Babbi Mason, Singer, Author, Speaker. Babbi.com

“The winter season for believers in Christ is one of reflection and great wisdom. Bloom in Your Winter Season is a beautiful offering of God’s wisdom hidden among the lives of women in the Bible. The individual studies contrast lives of these wise women of the Word and offer a unique perspective to women of faith today. Deborah Malone has created a study that inspires and builds a woman’s faith and hope in God. The winter season is beautiful.

Looking Out the Window: Memories on the Heart

Several weeks ago my husband, Rick, and I ate at a restaurant we frequent fairly regularly. The cute, young waitress who usually waits on us took our orders for burgers and fries. I’ll call her Mandy. As usual Mandy’s smile and bubbly personality brightened our day. We giggled and confessed to her that we shouldn’t eat the fries, but we were going to do it just this once. She joked. “Okay, you’re being bad today.” Not long after we got our food a couple came in and sat in the booth behind us. Mandy walked up to the table with her big grin. “Hi, how are you?” she asked. The man, who had salt and pepper colored hair and a pudgy face, spoke in a harsh tone, “I want the steak.” “Sure, which one would you like?” Mandy asked. “I don’t want you to put it in the microwave. That will make it tough. Do you understand?” Mandy’s lips turned down. “Yes sir, which one do you want to order?” “I want it medium rare. I don’t want blood oozing out of it. I want it cooked right.” “Yes sir, which steak di

I’m happy to share with you a Bible verse and a recipe, and tell you about my newest book! One of my favorite Bible verses is Romans 10:9. “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” I love this verse because it distills down the message of Christianity to its simplest elements. So often people add to the gospel, but it really all comes down to our belief in Jesus’ saving work on the cross. This verse tends to make its way into my writing. It’s in my latest novel, Moonlight and Mystery, when the heroine, Beth attends a carnival at a

Looking out the Window: Bible Study Leader Kristi Neace Says God Won't Fail Us and Introduces Us to Her New Book, Pathlight to Praise. Free Bible Study Coming Soon.

A Warm Welcome to Kristi Neace Kristi shares a devotional. She will start a new Bible study on Facebook in July. Watch for the announcement, giving the exact date and time on her Facebook Page Scriptural videos also available. See below.* In a Pit? Psalm 40:1-3‚ “I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.” Can you think of a time when God helped you out of a low place? Perhaps something had caused you to spiral downward, or maybe like the Old Testament character, Jonah, you had run away from God so as not to have to do what He was asking of you. Through this passage, we see that David was experiencing this first-hand. He was in a place of despair, yet God was gracious, and after some time, placed David in a new area of serv
