Mornings and Evenings with Spurgeon Charles Spurgeon is known for his no-nonsense style devotions. His devotionals are thought-provoking and fluff-free. As a teen, I was given the older Morning & Evening devotional by Spurgeon. I used it, but I don’t think that I truly appreciated all that was being said in the devotionals. Starting to read these newly packaged devotionals now, as an adult, I can better grasp and appreciate Spurgeon’s style of devotionals. I like the short devotionals that contain a good bit of meat. I can start my day with a short devotional and think about it throughout…

Sabbath: The Ancient Practices By Dan Allender, Phyllis Tickle As a family, we’ve been studying more about Biblical holidays including the Sabbath.

Many chemistry classes leave them without practical application, so they walk away thinking that the periodic table is irrelevant to their every day lives. The…

We were stationed near Quantico, Va, so we were able to watch as the museum was constructed. On opening day, people were bused in because the crowds were so great. Marines young and old, activity duty, reservists, and retirees showed up for this momentous occasion. Finally, the Marine Corps had a place to where people could come together and remember the long, illustrious history of the Marine…
Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball Donita K. Paul Mischievous matchmakers ~ Two special tickets ~ One unlikely couple I think it’s only fair to say that I tend to be picky when it comes to any romance novels/novellas – even Christian ones. More often than not, I will pass on them unless I have recommendations from someone who knows me and my taste. That being said, I’m a sucker for Christmas stories, so I decided to check out this book when it was offered for review. Cora is still trying to figure out the whole Christian walk. Cora knows…
