Thoughts on Parable of the Sower
I finished Parable of the Sower about a week ago, but haven’t yet started on Parable of the Talents. There’s a lot going on in my head and in my life and I just haven’t been able to pick up another book this past week. I’m not going to recap what Parable of the Sower…

Angie Smith: What Women Fear
I don’t often write about books I read as devotionals on this blog—I usually leave that for Insert Adventist—but this book spoke to me on so many levels that I had to share. I’d never before read a book that I identified with so much. I have talked about the anxiety I experience over on…

Julia Alvarez: How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents

Candice Carty-Williams: QUEENIE
Queenie Queenie Queenie…. The was the first book that the entire book club group enjoyed, even those who hadn’t read it all the way through. It was highly entertaining….and so, so cringy. The series of gross men and bad decisions that Queenie went through…I literally yelled at the book several times. The women in this…
