I started to "meet" many modern authors through the joys of Internet groups for authors, readers and writers. So I started to read their books. I am especially interested in Indie Christian Writers, and I wanted to help them by writing reviews to post on places like Amazon and Goodreads. Please don't think I'm joining … Continue reading Righting Sew Reel Ayes Reed Passed Yore Tie Till
Elk Jerky for the Soul: It's tough, but you need it!
On I-80 in Illinois on the north side of the road we saw a dozen or so small elk. I didn't recognize them at first because they did not have the characteristic rump. Then I realized that they were covered in mud and the young bull had small velvet antlers. They were on a small … Continue reading Through the Windshield 2

The name or title “Q” is known to geeks and many others as the godlike creature in Star Trek the Next Generation. He was part of something called the “Q Continuum,” a race of fellow godlike beings who apparently liked being aloof and distant from mankind. This Q claimed he had benevolent feelings for humanity … Continue reading A Christian Continuum
A review of Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers Perhaps I was the only remaining Christian female on the planet who had not read this book. The parallels to both the biblical book of Hosea and a human’s relationship to God are beautiful and valuable. It is almost a perfect allegory of the rocky relationship we … Continue reading “I’m Going Home.”
"The Bible alone is our absolute rule of Faith and Practice." Ever heard this before? Though many things define a Baptist, this is good place to start. It is easier to see what Baptists do (Practice) than it is to understand what we believe. The Wikipedia article on Baptists under the series on Christianity correctly … Continue reading So, What Is A Baptist?
Pastor George McVey recently started a new blog, "Ask Pastor George," which you can see here: http://askpastorgeorge.wordpress.com/ Here is a sample of what we can expect from Pastor George, who will soon be releasing what sounds like a classic Western with more than a touch of romance. As a pastor and revivalist one of the … Continue reading Guest Post by Pastor George McVey — Hearing God Speak
In January 1975, I was a passenger in a multi-vehicle accident on an ice covered bridge in heavy fog near Knoxville, TN. The uninjured grabbed everything we could to flag oncoming traffic to stop. Tragically, we could not get everyone’s attention. Ignoring the fact that the bridge was covered in ice cost several people their … Continue reading Truth Stumbles in the Streets
About a month ago I read that a classical education indoctrinates a student into Socialism. If The Republic of Plato is held up as the goal of classical education then that is certainly true. Plato's completely man-centered "ideal society" could very well be the government of the Anti-Christ. With the idea that you keep your … Continue reading The Republic of Plato: A Review
The last book review I did brought up some interesting questions about a book review. Book reviews are different from most other forms of writing in several ways. First, whether a book review is printed in a print magazine, newspaper or electronically in a blog or on facebook, the first few lines will be printed … Continue reading So, What Is a Book Review Anyway?
Welcome once again to our Guest Blogger, Author Joana James. You’ll find that the longer the mind contemplates sin, the easier it is to get past your misgivings and do it. Lesson: Renew your mind quickly! I often wonder how serial killers, rapists, pedophiles and other unsavory characters find the gall within themselves to commit … Continue reading Conceived in the Mind
More or less random thoughts as I drive across America. I am an Over The Road truck driver. My wife, Mary, rides with me. We traveled through the lower 48 in 6 months. We have also traveled through all the lower Canadian provinces from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia, except for Saskatchewan, up to Edmonton. … Continue reading Through the Windshield 1
We are privileged today to host Evelyn Puerto on our blog. She contacted us by email and offered us this article, and we are so glad she did. “I don’t ever want to go back to school. I can’t go back there!” How many of us have heard our children make the same complaint? How … Continue reading Guest Post by Evelyn Puerto: We Can’t Just Swim Through Life Like a Fish
If you search for a book, you might go to a library or a bookstore. You might be looking for a magazine or newspaper, or even searching online for an ebook. As you search, you will find that modern fiction dominates. In some places, such as used bookstores, you will find hundreds of fiction books … Continue reading War And Peace: A Book Review
Anjaline was born in Quito, Ecuador. That’s what drew me to the book, because I worked with a sweet young woman who came from Ecuador. We became good friends. From a festival of fruit and flowers Anjaline is pulled away to British Columbia by her stepfather’s work. Anjaline reacts in typical teenage fashion, storming … Continue reading Review of Sweet Love by Amy McGuire
Findley Family Video now has 24 Titles to offer readers in the e-book realm. Another author I told that to responded by saying "Holy Moley," and called us "Prolific." Perhaps I should explain. We have decided to give readers a taste of some of our longer works, excerpts at a lower price so you can … Continue reading Twenty-Four Titles by Findley Family Video
I have only "discovered" Pinterest within about the last month. Previously, I knew that non-writing friends, especially females, gushed about it. Sometimes I ignore what females gush about because it usually has to do with shopping and I dislike shopping. One friend said she couldn't believe I would be on Pinterest. But several author … Continue reading Pinterest Is My New Interest
One night while we were in a motel, the truck parked next to ours was stolen. We awoke the next morning with police in the lobby. Our room TV had a channel where we could watch the security camera feed. The camera repeatedly showed the evening before, when two men drove a car into … Continue reading Some Realities of Owning a Business
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. … Continue reading The Mark of the Beast
The Constitution of the United States is the political standard for America. It is written in English. It is not a living document. The words mean what they say. The basis for interpreting the Constitution are the Articles of Confederation, the original state Constitutions, the comments of the original colonies as they debated ratification of … Continue reading Not Who to Vote for, but WHAT to Vote For
