I expected a dry set-of-facts type of book. But “The Ashtabula Disaster” by Rev. Stephen D. Peet in 1877 was not that at all! Because of visiting the grave site and the historic marker I knew the facts. In Ashtabula, Ohio ninety-two people of 159 perished in a train crash. In a terrible blizzard asContinue reading “What a disaster!”

Find Your People
Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World by Jennie Allen was highly insightful. I am grateful a dear friend from church established a book club so that several ladies could explore the information in this book. For me it was a source of encouragement and of conviction. Jennie’s words helped me toContinue reading “Find Your People”
Aging Faithfully
Alice Fryling uses “Aging Faithfully” as a tool to help the aging (we are all aging) and what that could/should look like as we walk with God in our senior years.

According to Alicia in an interviewContinue reading “Girl On FIRE”
Sleeping Beauties
Finally! After three months of reading I finished “Sleeping Beauties”. Stephen does this to me most of the time, by writing, thick books. This one is 700 pages.

Turning Gray
This is my second time reading one of Chris Warnky’s books. I was extremely impacted by this read. Chris talks about the straight laced black-and-white walk he had with God. Then he received a severe concussion after hitting a trampoline the wrong way and his walk with God turned gray. Because of this mental shiftContinue reading “Turning Gray”
