I can’t believe I’m the first one to post on this! I returned from the American Christian Fiction Writer’s Conference on Sunday with an armload of books to read. Usually, I don’t bring too many books back because it’s tough … Continue reading

What Are You Passionate About? by Elizabeth Goddard
A picture is worth a thousand words. The old adage means that a picture will tell us so much more than we can easily put into words. What is the above image worth? A thousand words, more or less? One … Continue reading
Book Hoarders ‘R’ Us by Elizabeth Goddard
This month I moved from Texas to Louisiana. Without my bookshelves. They were built-in shelves, so couldn’t be moved. That was a bad decision from the start. I have a lot of books. You’re probably a book lover, too, or … Continue reading

Summer Reading
With eighteen days of school left, everyone in the household has summer in mind. Lemonade packets face front in our cupboards and the hot chocolate hibernates in the back. My husband plans to drain the pool cover and ready things … Continue reading
Books to Movies by Elizabeth Goddard
Summer is blockbuster movie season and my family is looking forward to having something to do that keeps us out of the hot Texas sun. Plus, we’re movie buffs, owning almost as many DVDs a we do books. Reading Jim … Continue reading
