Not too long ago, my husband and I caught a portion of the Lonesome Dove miniseries on TV. We’d seen it before, years ago when it first aired, and loved it. This time, however, after watching for a few minutes, observing the deaths of some of the characters, we wondered exactly why we liked it…

Finding An Unseen God
I’ve attempted on a couple of occasions to write a review of Alicia Britt Chole’s book Finding an Unseen God: Reflections of a Former Atheist without much success. Though I finished the book a couple of weeks ago, it has languished here beside my laptop awaiting my summary evaluation. As I’ve told you several times,…
Sometimes A Light Surprises
And so it falls to me to attempt to review a book I really, really liked by an author I really, really like. I think I’ve told you before that writing reviews of books I really, really like is way harder than one would think. I mean, really, how many superlatives can one use without…
Face of Betrayal
I don’t know about you, but though I love the literary delights of a good Southern story, not to mention the timeless classic, I also really like to indulge in a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat, stay-up-at-night, roller-coaster-ride of a read. If you’re with me, then I have the book for you. Face of Betrayal is a collaboration…
The Bookends of the Christian Life
Hello. My name is Lisa and I wear guilt like a second skin. This is perplexing to me as I consider that, as a believer in Christ, my sins have been forgiven. The Bible tells me I am free, I am forgiven, I am righteous before God and that I am more than a conqueror…
The Count of Monte Cristo
I love the classics. Though I must admit, as I stand in front of the classics display at the bookstore, I am a little ashamed at how few I’ve actually read. Thus I’ve made it an unofficial goal of mine to read more classic literature, a goal which doesn’t feel so much like a goal…
Get Outta My Face!
I am the mother of two teenaged sons with two more not far behind. (And to those of you who just said, “Bless your heart,” I say “Yes, please.”) Teenagers are, as you know, teenagers. Those of you who have raised teenagers (and lived to tell about it) and even those of you who were…
Little Girls in Matching Dresses
Little Girls in Matching Dresses is a delightful collection of remembrances honoring not only mothers but all women as well as reflecting on things that matter in life: home and family particularly.
How Do I Love Thee?
Though I attended Baylor University and nearly daily walked past the beautiful library on campus dedicated to Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, I knew little or nothing of either poet nor of their romance. Oh, I visited the Armstrong Browning library a few times—and it is gorgeous by the way, or it was way back…
Scholastic Summer Challenge
Our last day of school was two days ago and already I’ve heard the common complaint of “I’m SOOOO BOOOORRRED!” accompanied by the usual allegation that “There’s NOOOOTHINGGGGG to do!” What? Your kids too? I don’t know about you, but my usual response is I’ll give you something to do, mister; looks like the baseboards…
