Spiritual Impact of Pretend People by Kristen Heitzmann
“If travail has a purpose, let me find it now. If honor needs a taker, O Lord me endow. If wisdom is a garment, let me wear it well: if goodness needs a champion, help me dark dispel.” ~ Quillan Shepard … Continue reading
Don’t Make Me Cry by Elizabeth Goddard
When I’m reading a good book, I’m sorry, but I don’t want to cry. Except isn’t that the sign that a book is good? When the tears come on? Don’t misunderstand, I still want a good book to bring on the … Continue reading
Are You A Patient Reader?
Recently I participated in a group discussion between writers, which also means I was talking to avid readers since more often than not you can’t be one without being the other. We were discussing some of the expectations and differences … Continue reading

The Resonating Quote by Julie Arduini
Last week our pastor gave a sermon that not only had great principles, but even a statement that seemed off the cuff. It’s still resonating with me, a week or so later. “You can hang on, or move on.” I … Continue reading

Love For the Rest of Our Lives by Hannah Alexander
I believe in lasting love with the right person until death we do part–and even then I want to walk hand in hand with Mel through eternity. Call me a starry-eyed romantic–Mel would laugh. … Continue reading

Christian Fiction v Clean Read: Are You Confused? by Vicki Hinze
Christian Fiction v Clean Read: Are You Confused? In the past few months, I’ve often been asked what is the difference between books that are labeled Christian fiction and books labeled Clean Reads. I thought I’d … Continue reading
WHEELING ALONG WITH EASE by Yvonne Lehman
Two neighbor children, a four-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl, ride their bicycles that have no pedals. I watch them from my upstairs office window as they ride along the street that’s fairly level. They push with their feet and … Continue reading
Writers and Their Ilk by Maureen Lang
This past weekend a few of us here at Christians Read attended the American Christian Fiction Writers conference in Indianapolis. It’s hard to describe the blessing of being in a room (a crowded room!) filled not only with others who … Continue reading
