I loved Beverly...

Looking Out the Window: Ginger Solomon Talks About Second Choice, The Second Book in Her Belikarian Wedding Series

A Warm Welcome to Ginger Solomon Ginger will give away a PDF copy of Second Choice. To enter to win leave a comment and an e-mail address below. Hi Ginger, tell us a little about yourself. Without repeating my bio… my name is Ginger. I live in northern Alabama with my husband and six of our seven children—the oldest moved out a few months ago. I homeschool the youngest four, but in a few short weeks that will change as the oldest of them will graduate high school. I love reading, coloring (even before it was “in vogue”), reading, writing, reading, needlework (cross-stitch, crochet, and knitting), and reading (but I think I mentioned that one already). I am also a “gaming” mom, much to my son’s enjoyment. Many of their friends are jealous. LOL I see you love to read. Were you an avid reader as a child? If so, what did you read? Absolutely. There were many of a night that I would stay up until one or two in the morning reading, and then get up at six to go to school. I c...

Looking Out the Window: The Next Book in the Love Is...Series, The Crux of Honor by Paula Mowery

  We’re told in Scripture that God is love. He definitely proved His kind of love is an unconditional and undeserved type through sending His Son to die for our sins. Some love isn’t hard to conjure. God just helps us to enhance it. For example, I am still head-over-heels in love with my husband of twenty-six years. But through God’s Word and leading, I’ve learned to love my husband more like God planned for a wife to love her husband. When my little girl was born, I was in love, even though it took a lot to get her here. But God has shown me how to love my daughter through example and discipline. I struggled with infertility issues before finally conceiving my only daughter. My bitterness heightened each time I would hear about a young woman or girl who conceived out of wedlock and by accident. I cried out to God that this wasn’t fair. I wanted a baby and would care for that child and love that child, giving her a mother and a father. Some years later I was app...

Looking Out the Window: Jennifer Slattery Talks about her New Book, Breaking Free

    A Warm Welcome to Jennifer Slattery   Jennifer shares a devotional and a link to an excerpt from her new book, Breaking Free   Living Fully Present in the Present “Can you hear me now?” “Are you even listening?” My mind can be a jumbled mess, with so many must-dos swirling around, I miss out on the blessings unfolding right in front of me. It takes determination to remain fully present in the present. Today I choose now. This “present-focused-living” campaign started a year or so ago with a trip to the UP building to join my hubby for lunch. My daughter came with me, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Overcast, a slight breeze, maybe 75 degrees. Plus, I had annoyed my daughter a total of 0 times on the drive over. (If you didn’t believe in miracles before…) We get there to find my husband waiting, inching toward the exit. We’d fully expected to eat in the company cafe’, which is lovely. But he–and God–had other plans. M...
