Spring 2021 Christian Girl Book Review
Happy spring, lovely one! The trees are turning green, and the flowers are blooming. Despite the beautiful, mild weather, I still find myself drawn to my books. I have a bad habit of reading more than one book at a time because I just don’t have the patience to wait! Today I want to treat you to a book review of two authors who are very dear to me. Beckie Lindsey and Anneliese Dalaba are not only gifted writers, but faithful women of God who are an inspiration. Both Anneliese and Beckie have endured great hardship over this past year, but their faith and perseverance is a light to many–including…

Uninvited By Beckie Lindsey–A Book Review
Sometimes we read books that touch our lives in a thoughtful or emotional way . Then there are books that really transform us; books that become a part of our souls and influence how we view the world. Beauties from Ashes, a young adult book series by fellow blogger and author Beckie Lindsey, has transformed my way of thinking about prayer and spiritual warfare. I’ve already reviewed book one, Secrets, here. And now I’d like to share my thoughts on book two, Uninvited. Faith Meets Fiction I bought a hard copy of Uninvited not only because I love the feeling of holding an actual book in my hands, but because…

Book Review: Unoffendable by Brant Hansen
(Check out Unoffendable here) I have never done a book review before, but I guess there’s a first time for everything. I recently read a book I got for my birthday called Unoffendable–How Just One Change Can Make All of Life Better. The author is Brant Hansen–a Christian radio host who is both awesome and hilarious. He can talk about Jesus and toast in the same half hour with flawless ease. Anyway, the topic of Unoffendable is one that is both hard to talk about but desperately needed: letting go of anger. Brant (and yes, I’m using his first name because I listen to him so much I feel like…
