Fight Back With Joy by Margaret Feinberg - A Book Review

Fight Back With Joy by Margaret Feinberg - A Book Review
May 15, 2015

by Joanne Viola

The very word is thrown around as a goal to achieve, an attribute to display, an inspiration on a plaque or pillow. Yet many of us find joy difficult to understand and, at times, harder to find. Fight Back With Joy is a transparent and vulnerable story of a woman's battle to maintain joy throughout a difficult diagnosis.

Rearranging Our Lives for Jesus
January 22, 2015

by Kristin Hill Taylor

Because Jesus may call me to lay down something or pick up something new or invite someone in or go against what I’ve always known or take steps into the unknown. God doesn’t leave us the same. He makes us new and continues making us new. He doesn’t leave us in the wilderness but changes us as we journey to the Promised Land.

When Our Mess-Ups Become Our Ministry
December 15, 2014

By Tracie Miles

It had been a few years since God healed my heart of the shame and regret of past mistakes, and now He was calling me to a new purpose. I believed God could never use me for anything special, because I felt I had nothing special to offer in light of my past.

Book Review - Miracles & Moments of Grace
October 17, 2014

Review by Toni Campbell

From the very first page of Nancy B. Kennedy’s book, Miracles & Moments of Grace – Inspirational Stories of Survival, I was drawn in. I found myself transfixed as I read about an 18-wheeler careening off the road, barreling into the unknown during a blinding dust storm.  I held my breath through the tale of a masked gunman who crashed a home jewelry party.

The Secret to Living Well

A little over a year ago, my grandpa had a ninetieth birthday party. I had the privilege of being there and serving punch. That put me in a position to do a lot of listening. Over fifty people packed into his house, and each one came with a story. On and on the stories went of how my grandpa has spent his life loving well, in little and big ways. I nodded my head in agreement because I’ve experienced the same. [Continue Reading...]

Book Review - A Million Little Ways by Emily P. Freeman
January 24, 2014

Review by Joanne Viola

This is my first time reading anything by author, Emily P. Freeman. I have so enjoyed A Million Little Ways. Within the covers of this book, I found words that made me realize each one of us is truly born with a longing and a need to be creative. Each of us has an art, hidden inside of us, waiting to be developed and shared with those around us. [Continue Reading…]
