Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to sit at Jesus’ feet and hear him teaching? What about experiencing his physical healing touch? What would it have been like to be a female follower of Jesus? Due to the culture, the experience of a male follower and female follower would have been quite different.

She embraced the new life that she had been given and…

Life of John Knox & Andrew Jackson

Previously, I have reviewed other books of this series including Life of Washington and Life of Luther. These books are all published in a way that makes them look old.

Review: That’s When I Talk to God

Posted in Reviews

Sometimes, as adults, we forget to teach our kids what prayer really is – it’s talking to God. We don’t allow or show our kids that we pray all throughout the day. Or, maybe, we’re not talking to God as we should be, so the kids don’t have an example of pray without ceasing.
