This week's Wednesday Reads was one that I've had on my Kindle for a while. I think it got buried under everything else, which is a bummer, because it was so good! Safe in His Arms by Melanie D. Snitker follows the heroine, Anna, as she escapes from an abusive ex-boyfriend drives across the country … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – Safe in His Arms

Wednesday Reads – A River in Darkness and Under the Same Sky
Okay, so there are two books this week, but I'm including them together because they're both memoirs about North Korea. There's a good reason why I read them both, which I'll get into... A River in Darkness was on a list of recommended reads that I came across, and I picked it up through … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – A River in Darkness and Under the Same Sky
Wednesday Reads – The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck
This week's Wednesday Reads is one of those books that everyone was talking about a while back. I saw it on so many recommendation lists for lovers of Christian romance and chick lit, and when I finally went looking for it, I found that it was on Kindle Unlimited! (Yes!) The Secret Life of Sarah … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck
Wednesday Reads – Walking Shoes
This book was recommended to me by a reader because I'm a pastor's wife who worries about what people will say when anyone in our family buys new shoes. (Because people get really riled up about such things.) That EXACT SCENARIO is how this book starts, and then... well, then it takes an unexpected turn. … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – Walking Shoes
Wednesday Reads – Meet Generation Z
When Wes was doing research for his doctoral project, our girls (born in 2006 and 2007) heard a lot of the details and would inevitably ask, "Are we Millennials?" At the time, I didn't think there was a name for what they are or that their generation would be so different from the ones that … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – Meet Generation Z
Wednesday Reads – To Best the Boys
And now for something totally different! Every now and then, I get a book recommendation (usually from BookBub) for something completely out of my usual genre, and I go over and read the description with great skepticism, doubting that I'll get past the first few pages. That was the case with this one, which was … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – To Best the Boys
Wednesday Reads – Suffering is Never for Nothing
I've always been challenged by the teachings and the writings of Elisabeth Elliott. I was able to hear her speak in 2003 and will forever remember how she authoritatively handled the word of God and shared from the riches of grace that she knew. Suffering is Never for Nothing is a book of her lectures … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – Suffering is Never for Nothing
Wednesday Reads – Women of the Word
This week's Wednesday Reads is one that you need to go out and buy right now. Seriously, Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds needs to be in your personal library. I'll wait while you go on over to Amazon and pick up a copy. Did … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – Women of the Word
Wednesday Reads – Emily, Gone
This book is a great example of how well Amazon markets books to readers, as I'm pretty sure I found out about it through an ad directed right towards my demographic. You know the demographic - middle aged, Southern women who cry easily over drama filled stories. Emily, Gone certainly hit the mark as I … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – Emily, Gone
Wednesday Reads – Growing in Godliness: A Teen Girl’s Guide to Maturing in Christ
I'm always looking for books to give to my daughters that will encourage and challenge them to walk more closely with Christ. They're at a transitional point in their lives as they're entering into their teen years, and I so want to better equip them with sound theology for what's up ahead. That's why I … Continue reading Wednesday Reads – Growing in Godliness: A Teen Girl’s Guide to Maturing in Christ
