And you’ve helped this book of my heart reach some amazing milestones! Thank you for continuing to bless me with stories and pictures that show sweet little ones enjoying it! Their delight warms my heart. I’m so grateful and honored that because of your support for this little book, Ten Little Night Stars hit the Christian Juvenile…

Relentless, by Michele Cushatt–New Books to Love

This book, Relentless, has been the most impactful book I have read in 2019. There are so many deep truths in this book. Michele deals with the thorny problem of simplistic faith—if we obey God, He will bless us. Until He doesn’t. What then?

I love that I get to run into her at California writing events. I also recently read another book of Ginny’s, Lost and Found, which is wonderful too! Hope you’re finding lots…
