Do you know that feeling you get when someone who is not a Christian says, “I just don’t get the Bible. It’s confusing,” and though you try to understand their point of view, you can’t, because you’ve been around the Bible your whole life? Well, if you want to know how those folks feel, try…
In November of 2016, I finished reading Grace Revolution by Joseph Prince for the second time. I first read the book when it was released in November of 2015 and again in 2016 when my friend and I went through the study guide together. I want to go over both resources in this review and…

Every time I see this author’s name, my mind imagines purple heather hills, castles and a fictional storyline that often parallels a Biblical story. Some of the best Biblical Fiction books I’ve ever read,…
Prelude for a Lord was my first experience with this author and all I can say is, “Wow, I’m impressed!” This book included everything I enjoy about Historical Fiction plus an exciting plot that twists and turns; as hard as I tried to figure out who was the bad guy before the end, I couldn’t. …
I know Lynn Austin from her book “Candle in the Darkness,” and other titles that keep piling up on my to-read list.
