Ordinary is the biggest enemy of a great marriage. You say ‘I do’ expecting everything is going to be great. You are marrying the person you love, and that is never going to change! But, if you’re married, you know that it does change. Somehow, life settles into a normal, an everyday, and often the …
Five star book, in my opinion. I really loved Anything and was definitely challenged by it. It is on the list of a very few books that I will most likely read again (and probably before too long) – which is saying a lot because I can only think of less than a handful of books …

Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full: Gospel Meditations for Busy Moms by Gloria Furman is a must read {multiple times most likely} for moms in all stages …
Addie grew up in the evangelical culture in Illinois. A culture where she was defined by WWJD bracelets, fish stickers, See Ya At the Pole events, and crushes on missionary boys. When We Were on Fire is Addie Zierman’s candid story of her journey with faith. The book is divided neatly into the headings, “Obsession,” “Disillusion,” “Rebellion,” …
