Peering Through Life's Window

A Warm Welcome to Regina Merrick Regina shares a Bible verse she's cherished since her teens to nourish our souls and an easy, yummy recipe. She'll give away an E-book of Carolina Mercy . To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 This verse has been “my verse” since I was a teen and was struggling with a disappointment that had so little to do with what I wanted, and so much to do with what God wanted FOR me. It was years later that I learned, and used as the foundation for my first book, Carolina Dream , that when we literally delight in the Lord, it’s not our “wishes” that we should focus on, but instead that His desires become our desires! Mom's Pecan Pie I struggled to choose between two different pie recipes, both of which I received from my mother – chocolate pie, or pecan pie? Today, since I’m highlighting book 2 in the Southern Breeze

Contemporary Romance: Christmas in Jingle Junction by Tabitha Bouldin -- In the small town of Jingle Junction, Holly Winters owns the local coffee shop, Jolly Java. It's here that she meets Patrick Cooper and promptly throws coffee everywhere. Not only does Patrick not like coffee, he also despises Christmas! It's up to Holly to show Patrick that Christmas is worth giving a second chance, just as Patrick himself deserves a second chance when he is accused of robbing a local convenience store. In a town full of Christmas spirit, lively debates over the best superhero and riding in a sleigh pulled by actual reindeer is just a normal day. Will Holly be able to prove to Patrick that Christmas is more than a holiday that has to be endured?

A Warm Welcome to Nancy Mehl What a treat to learn about Nancy's new series! I'm delighted she's sharing the story behind the story for Book One: Kaley Quinn Profiler series, Mind Games, currently on pre-order on Amazon. Nancy will give away a print copy of Blind Betrayal, Book Three of the Defenders of Justice series . (U.S. residents only). To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Nancy, tell us about Mind Games. Writing Mind Games is a dream come true. I’ve been interested in FBI profiling for years. I’ve read about it, studied it, and watched every TV special I could find on the subject. So when the chance finally came to write the book I’ve always wanted to write, I jumped at it. Thankfully, through the help of another writer, I was hooked up with a retired FBI profiler. I was so excited. Until I found out I had almost everything wrong. Yes, I had some understanding about profiling, but I knew nothing about the FBI and how it works.

Hats... Horns... Congratulations to Sonja!

A Warm Welcome to June Foster To enter to win the e-book of A Harvest of Blessings leave a comment and an email address below. June shares one of her favorite Bible verses and a delicious recipe to nourish us body and soul. "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, not powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39 Thank you for the comforting verse. Chicken-Vegetable Dish I love this recipe because it's low carb. It provides both protein and vegetables, and it's easy to make. Chicken-Vegetable Dish 4 chicken breast halves Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons oil 1 1/4 cups chicken broth 2 cups broccoli florets 1 medium yellow squash, sliced 1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown chicken on both sides. Add chicken brot

A Warm Welcome to Clare Revell Clare shares two of her favorite Bible verses, her favorite recipe and two excerpts from her new book, Dark Lake. Favorite Bible Verses  1 Peter5v7: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” This is actually on a photo that I’ve had above my bed / my side of the bed since I was two, maybe younger. It’s always been there, always reminding me that Someone cares no matter how rotten I feel or how bad a day it’s been. What a beautiful picture. The other is Deuteronomy 5v33b: “Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.” This always makes me giggle. But then I’m a huge Trekkie so it would do. Who’d have guessed that Live long and prosper comes from the Bible? And that came straight from Leonard Nimoy. Along with the Vulcan salute.
