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.

  • Hurricane Times Two by Tara Randel
    I’m just going to state the obvious right off the bat. Two devastating hurricanes back-to-back is no fun. First Helene decimated the coastal areas not far from my home. The flooding was significant. I have friends who have lost their … Continue reading →
  • Smarter and More Competent than I am by James R. Coggins
    Things have changed. We had not bought a car for seventeen years. The problem is that the Japanese know how to build good cars. Our seventeen-year-old Toyota Yaris was still running very well, and our mechanic said it could continue … Continue reading →
  • Time To Look Up!
    As a kid, I never really thought much about end times. I never read Revelation or thought about such terms as the rapture or tribulation. End time prophesy always seemed like something that would happen one day probably not in … Continue reading →
  • Rich and Poor by James R. Coggins

  • Something Strange by James R. Coggins
    I found something strange in my mailbox today. Among all the flyers (air mail), store coupons, political advertisements, bills, lottery notices, etc. was a white envelope about nine inches by four inches. I couldn’t recall ever seeing anything like it. … Continue reading →
  • Car Shopping by Tara Randel
    Earlier this summer my vehicle started having trouble. I love my 2003 Jeep Liberty. I was only supposed to have it for a few years, but ten years later, it’s mostly going strong. With a bit of age creeping in. … Continue reading →
  • Humility by James R. Coggins
    The biblical writer James wrote: “Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.’…Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we … Continue reading →
  • Sprinting in Faith by Nancy J. Farrier
    Writing is often a solitary business. You have your writing area, usually away from people or things that might distract—such as cute cat videos or a good book to read. When you are on your own, it’s often easy to … Continue reading →
  • Paul Simon Is a Poet by James R. Coggins
    I discovered the music of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel when I was in university, and I was deeply impressed, particularly by the lyrics, most of which were written by Paul Simon. As the years have gone on, I have … Continue reading →
  • Everybody Needs a Martha!
    The story of Martha from the Bible reveals several things about her. She had a servant’s heart. We first meet Martha while she and her sister and brother are hosting a dinner for Jesus. Martha wanted everything to be perfect … Continue reading →
