Our Mission

We are Christians who both read and write Christian fiction. The goal for this blog is to talk about the books we read and about our spiritual journeys. So you’re just as apt to read a review or comments on a book–fiction or non-fiction–as you are to read a devotional or inspiring quote or about daily Christian life in our posts. On the weekends, we post about writing and welcome guest bloggers. It is our hope to build a community where we can interact, discuss matters of importance to us, encourage, share and lift spirits.

  • Israel, A World of Firsts – Delores Topliff

  • Fear of Death by James R. Coggins
    Quite a number of years ago, I talked with my mother, who was then a senior citizen, about the reality of death. “Oh,” she said. “I’m not worried about that. I came to terms with death in 1948” (that is, … Continue reading →
  • Seeing God’s Design by Nancy J. Farrier

  • And Even More Famous Coggins Quotations by James R. Coggins

  • Do you have a secret place?

  • One Wrong Turn by Julie Arduini

  • God’s Angels, Part III by Peggy Webb
    Every Sunday, I come home from church blessed and filled with joy by the little angels I teach, God’s children. Hank and Nat are two of my youngest, both adorable, enthusiastic, music-loving children. Hank has an impish grin and an … Continue reading →
