A Non-Anxious Presence (Book Review)

That title pulled me in.

Count It All Joy (Book Review)

I thought Dream with Me: Race, Love, and the Struggle We Must Win was John M. Perkins' magnus opus. I was thankful for the wisdom and beauty along with the honesty and heart that Mr. Perkins shared in what appeared to be his last book. I highly recommend that book especially as we are all … Continue reading Count It All Joy (Book Review) →

Habakkuk (Book Review)

Recently Moody Publishers allowed me to review Habakkuk: Remembering God's Faithfulness When He Seems Silent by Dannah Gresh. This Bible study on a little book in the Bible, that is easy to miss, provided an in-depth look at the prophet Habakkuk and his world. Gresh takes the reader through all of Habakkuk, along with parts … Continue reading Habakkuk (Book Review) →

What If Jesus Was Serious? (Book Review)

This book is worth the doodles. I thoroughly enjoy listening to Skye Jethani on the Holy Post Podcast https://www.holypost.com/ . His insight and wit are enjoyable and give me much to think about.
