As a teenager, I devoured the Christy Miller series. I ordered each book as soon as I learned through my Focus on the Family magazine that they were available.

Confessions of a Grieving Girl
Eleven years. Can it really be that long ago that my life was severed in half? With. Without. While my heart fights to believe the truth, my head reminds me of the facts.

Review: Princess with a Purpose
A few weeks ago, I encouraged everyone to purchase A Warrior Prince for God. Today, I will introduce you to the "girl" version of this book.

Recipe: Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread
I have two favorite smells in life. The smell of a freshly bathed baby. Be still my heart. The second favorite smell is homemade bread baking in the oven. Delicious.

Both books are simple but get right to the heart of the matter. Eleanor is ...
Review: Rivanna Music
Rivanna Music Cd's by Cathy Bollinger are sets of CD's suggested in the The Autism Sisterhood: A (brief) Manual. These CD's were created to provide teachers and children with songs that teach. As I have stated in several of the last reviews, there is a direct correlation between music and learning. Children and adults are able to ...

We have used The Beginner's Bible for many years with our children. After reading through it multiple times, Daddy was excited to see that I had a new Bible to review.
