Renewal by Kristen Heitzmann

Authors Responding to Reviews? Posted by Maureen Lang
My daughter is an Amazon Vine Reviewer, meaning she’s earned the spot by reading and reviewing a great number of books. Every once in a while she receives a note from an author—usually short and sweet, thanking her for her … Continue reading
Favorite Reading Spots?
I moan and groan a lot about having to travel so much, but I shouldn’t. Not only does it show an ungrateful attitude, but it fails to recognize two important (and very positive) points: 1) My speaking invitations/engagements are obviously … Continue reading
What’s in a word?
I love pizza. I love Saturday morning breakfast. I love the full moon. I love swimming at twilight. I love my cat. I love my husband. I love hearing the still small Voice. One word and so many different meanings. … Continue reading
Being without a book
Camy here! I saw this on Facebook the other day: At first I was like, THAT IS SO ME!!! And then my second thought was, Why am I so afraid to be without a book? Isn’t that kind of freaky … Continue reading

The Power of Words
This lady will be celebrating her 89th birthday in a month. Unfortunately, she also fell and broke her hip last Wednesday. We were horrified at the time, because she’s Mel’s mother, and she has Alzheimer’s. Conventional wisdom is that when … Continue reading
Recognizing Abuse of Spiritual Authority in the Church
Spiritual abuse in the church?… The answer is…Absolutely! As a certified biblical counselor, I have counseled many who have suffered this phenomenon. And as a Christian sitting under the authority of several different Christian leaders, I have personally witnessed this … Continue reading
Reading Seasons?
Does the end of summer mean the end of the “beach read” season? I wondered about that when my daughter recently left for a brief vacation and instead of taking along the meatier, more literary novel our book club was … Continue reading

Morning Visit
One of my favorite places to write is on my front patio in the morning. I take my laptop, coffee, maybe a research tome or two, and settle in beside our landscaped creek. The sound of water, the scent of … Continue reading

Confessions from an Armchair Political Junkie by Julie Arduini
Ah, the unofficial end of summer. My kids return to school Monday. The summer shows I DVR’d (The Closer, Rizzoli and Isles) finished airing. Although I don’t think God had my DVR schedule in mind when He inspired Solomon to … Continue reading
