My mom once told me that most of what she learned in History was from novels tucked under her desk. Now, she also told me that her high school history teacher had a habit of going off on tangents, and her class capitalized on this habit. She may or may not have learned a thing … Continue reading American History Through Christian Fiction
I have a confession to make. I took AP English my senior year of high school and I barely read any of the assigned texts. One of which was Pride and Prejudice. I even wrote one of my essays on that particular title. Thank you Sparknotes! My dilemma was Austen's verbosity. I would get mired … Continue reading Book Review: First Impressions

Now, for the last several months, I've looked at this one and thought, "That looks interesting," but walked away in the … Continue reading Book Review: Five Days in Skye

Now, so this doesn't sound redundant, I have created a page within my website where my favorite books of all time are listed, but I feel as though a post directed at my favorite historical reads would be useful. I only just got back from the Mount Hermon Christian Writers' Conference and I always feel … Continue reading Top 10 Favorite Christian Historical Romances

Having met and received feedback from a few of them, I value their opinions - so I was excited to read this story. Second, I've been researching … Continue reading Book Review: Out of the Ruins
If you don't already know, Regina Jennings is one of my favorite authors. It all started with A Most Inconvenient Marriage. I can usually count on a good story when I open up one of her books. She's witty, charming and comes up with unusual settings and situations for her characters - bringing everything together into the perfect … Continue reading Book Review: Holding The Fort
I’ll tell you right now - it was the cover that made me want to read it. Oh my word... the colors, the font, the raindrops... GORGEOUS.
