C.S. Lewis and The Reading Life

August 5, 2020 By D'Ann Mateer

I am a big C.S. Lewis fan. It started with the Narnia books in my childhood. Later in life I found books such as Till We Have Faces and The Screwtape Letters. Then I discovered his truly non-fiction works. This is the not to say I understand all his writing. I don’t. But I try. For me, my pleasure in his work often comes down to the connections he makes between spiritual truth and literature. That … [Read more...]

Books, Puppies, and Fun oh my!

July 23, 2020 By Cara Putman

One of the things I've done bit by bit through our time at home these last months is organizing different corners of the house.

Dressing for the 4th of July (Plus a Giveaway!)

July 2, 2020 By Karen Witemeyer

Nothing puts me in a patriotic frame of mind more than seeing bunting proudly displayed on homes and businesses. In fact, last year when I traveled to Honey Grove, TX for the book launch of More Than Words Can Say, I saw this house. Not only was this a gorgeous Victorian-era home restored to its former glory, but it was a patriotic home as well. It was only the middle of June, but they … [Read more...]
