March 4, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

Here are three books I'm currently reading and would highly recommend. And get ready, because I'd love to know what's on your nightstand and if you're enjoying the read! #1 You might already know I'm a fan of Kristi McLelland's Bible studies and teachings.

In other words, the ability to switch between tasks easily or at least agilely. For example, a month ago, I decided to put two of my books on sale this month. Call it a welcome to fall sale.
