Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace, thereby good will come to you. ~ Job 22:21 My focus for social media through the end of this month will be from my biblical counseling ministry.

I encourage all Christian women to take up the discipline of reading to honor God and for the growth of the church. In addition to the Bible, which books should Christians read to help them grow? I’ve pulled titles below from my personal bookshelves and recently revised my list. I appreciate the work from these authors that... Continue Reading →
In today's post, I share a few tips with you on Bible study, Bible translations, theology, commentaries, reading, and podcasts. ON BIBLE STUDY: Why should you study the Scriptures when you’ve heard the stories before? God’s Word is rich enough to provide new insights every time you study, no matter how many times you’ve read... Continue Reading →
With this post I am recommending books for those readers who might wish to study the Doctrine of God's Creatures. In the way of systematic theologies, there are many good theologians when considering this doctrine. But, for the new learner, I recommend Michael Horton's Bible College version entitled Pilgrim Theology. In my Sunday night theology... Continue Reading →

Once you have established a time and place in your home, as well as readied your heart, it is time to go to the text. I like to go ahead and have my spiral bound notebook and pen close by to take a few notes, especially questions. It is our duty and our privilege to... Continue Reading →
As I'm writing this it's as if I can hear the voice of my younger brother asking his frequent question, What are you reading? And if you know me well, you know that I've been known to recommend more than a few books. Truth is, reading has the ability to stretch our thinking. When reading... Continue Reading →
“I think I will just read dead people,” I remarked as the penned words (freshly planted in my memory) hit the trash can. Confirmation of early morning news revealed the deplorable acts committed by a popular author, grandson of an evangelical icon. Yet, the flow of his work, piercing words camouflaged as wisdom, lurked in... Continue Reading →

It rings true that previous generations' view of marriage was never high enough but we have reached a low, casual attitude of both what constitutes marriage and warrants it disposable. What would seem ludicrous in generations past has... Continue Reading →
Throughout the year I've shared book titles for pleasure and purpose. I am grateful for published authors whose education far exceeds my own; many good men and women have spent the bulk of their lives learning, teaching, and sharing through writings as their life's vocation.
