A Simple Project Part I

There comes a time when you have to set aside whatever you were planning and do the thing that just won’t leave you alone. In the last week or two, after a lot of wrestling, praying and putting it off, I gave up and started writing the story that wouldn’t leave me alone. Sometimes, youContinue reading “A Simple Project Part I”

The Lighter Side: An Excerpt from N.Y. Dunlap’s The Misadventures of Itchy Izzy

This blog is often laden with historical themes and some of the weightier questions those themes present. Today, I want to offer something a bit lighter. N.Y. Dunlap writes romantic comedies, but since she’s part of our Brave Authors group, you know she’s not afraid to address heavier themes in her own way. I’m goingContinue reading “The Lighter Side: An Excerpt from N.Y. Dunlap’s The Misadventures of Itchy Izzy”

Hurt by the Church: A Guest Post by Author Katelyn Pfeiffer

Church hurt is both a buzzword and a taboo subject. It is controversial because so many people who once called themselves Christians have “deconstructed” their faith and left the church.

Of Babies and Bathwater

We’ve all heard that saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” Too often in my life, I’ve focused on the bathwater to the exclusion of the baby. I’ve talked before about the legalistic Christian background from which I’ve come. I can’t say it’s always been that way in every church I’ve ever attended,Continue reading “Of Babies and Bathwater”

Sani: Russian Church Reopenings by the German Army in WW2

Saturday (June 12) is the last day to get my novel Sani free on Kindle. A dear friend pointed out a few “omissions” so I have uploaded an updated version. Thank you K. K.! There are many parts of this book that I love, but I thought tonight I’d write about Chapter 20, the churchContinue reading “Sani: Russian Church Reopenings by the German Army in WW2”
