Four out of Five Stars. Highly recommended Romantic Women's Fiction If you like romances where opposites attract this is the book for you. What a tapestry of conflict and connection this book is. The ways in which Stone and Abigail turn out to be connected are stunning. It's like that bedraggled bush in her father's greenhouse. Layer by layer, as these two people intertwine … Continue reading Review: The Far Corner of the Greenhouse by K.V. Case

Sounds like Jerusalem and Judah had it pretty good, right? Look over that list of material provision (support system, food, water) and leadership (military, judiciary, teachers, advisers, craftsmen, and someone who may have been a charismatic speaker or influencer). The use of the phrase skillful enchanter gives us a hint that they weren’t sourcing any … Continue reading Isaiah Chapter 3: Culture of Youth and Beauty — Post by Mary C. Findley

(Pictured above is one example of an ebook cover I made as a sample of my work. It incorporates many of the elements covered in this post.

I haven't written an actual "writing" post for awhile. As I posted not too long ago, it's been a year of upheavals and little or no writing for me. Still, I have picked up a few ideas for writers in my stumbling, fuddy-duddy way, that might help. I tend to discover things other people have known and … Continue reading Even I Can Use Instagram — Post by Mary C. Findley
Sheldon’s question, “What Would Jesus Do?” has driven some people to attempt great deeds for Christ. It has driven others to do things which can best be described charitably as questionable. Few people invest the time and energy to study what Jesus actually did. When Jesus knew that he had less than a day before … Continue reading What Did Jesus Do? — Post by Michael J. Findley
But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.

Part Five: The Eternal Gospel
In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God.

(John 1:1 ISV) New Tribes Mission was founded in 1942 to evangelize unreached people groups who … Continue reading What Is The Gospel? Part Four: Our Responsibility

Luke, written to Theophilus, a Greek, does not … Continue reading What Is The Gospel? Part Two: The Gospel According to Jesus
“As you go into the entire world, proclaim the gospel to everyone.” (Mark 16:15 ISV) The gospel, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον, can be translated good news. But it is not just any good news. A friend getting married, a job promotion, a medical checkup free of disease, and many other types of good news are not the gospel … Continue reading What Is the Gospel? Part One: What the Gospel Is Not
