I’ve always enjoyed Nancy Wilson’s writing. I’m a somewhat consistent reader of her blog, and I’ve also enjoyed several of her books, including Building Her House: Commonsensical Wisdom for Christian Women. Mrs. Wilson writes with the kindness, yet firmness, of a wise older friend. The book’s promise to deliver “commonsensical wisdom” is fulfilled.   Building […]

Several years ago, Dani started reading P.G. Wodehouse. After watching her enjoy several of his books, and knowing several other gals who enjoyed him, I picked one up and gave it a go. I’m so glad I did! P.G. Wodehouse is an author I count on to help fill the “just for fun” niche in […]

The age of writing an old-fashioned letter seems to be at a close. That’s regrettable. I know, first hand, what deep, enduring relationships can be formed through letter writing. In fact, Copper and I had only dated for a few, short weeks before he left for college. We wrote dozens of letters in the months […]

Mrs. Mahaney’s book, Feminine Appeal – Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother, is filled with the same common sense and practical application that I’ve enjoyed from the blog. […]

I was worried that the many “holy habits” listed in the table of contents would be just another list of extra-biblical requirements heaped on the heads of today’s Christian woman. I am pleased to say that this is […]

      March has been a crazy month. Plenty of stormy, cold weather that just begged for time curled up on the couch in front of the fire with a book; but my husband and I have spent a lot of time working on less enjoyable pursuits like tax returns, financial planning, and researching other money […]

A lot of pages were turned during the month of January. A miserable virus and lots of dark, foggy days and long, cold nights, made that possible.  What follows is a list and brief review of the eight books I completed last month. Please understand, I read broadly. I do not necessarily recommend to you […]
