Purity and Holiness
The girls and I have been reading When God Writes Your Love Story together. It is an excellent book on preparing for marriage. I especially appreciated this insight: “Several generations back, Christianity in this country began to swing in an unhealthy direction, focusing on the holiness and righteous standard of God while excluding the crucial elements of love and grace.…

Maud Hart Lovelace Reading Challenge
I love old-fashioned “girl” books. When I was growing up (and voraciously reading just about anything I could get my hands on… okay, who am I kidding? I still do that!) I loved series books.

The Last Christian – review
The Last Christian by David Gregory is one of the most powerful fiction books I’ve read in awhile. The story is set in 2088, and the premise is that there are no Christians left in America.
