Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise …
A Novel Christmas List–More for Women
Thanks to everyone who stopped by last Tuesday to check out my Christmas list ideas for women. For those of who didn’t see something that fit, I have a few additional favorites I know that special woman in your life will love! And I’m not done yet. Over the next two weeks I’ll be covering YA, Speculative, Biblical fiction, Minnesota …
A Novel Christmas List – Especially for Guys
Now, don’t get me wrong. Just because I recommend these books for that special man in your life, doesn’t mean they won’t appeal to women. Personally, I tend to gravitate toward the male author voice, so these novels instantly catch my eye. So, ladies, go ahead and purchase these books for your guy, but I give you permission to read …
A Novel Christmas List–Especially for Women
If you’re like me, you’ll think it’s still a bit early to talk Christmas shopping, but Thanksgiving is next week, which means Black Friday is almost here. For those of you who have impossible-to-buy-for friends and relatives, in my opinion, you can’t go wrong with a book. So, this week and next I’ll be listing a few books from across …

But on that day, the thread seemed awfully weak and appeared to be fraying. So, I …
Getting to Know Screenplay Author & Movie Producer, Scott Peterson
Many exciting things are happening it my church right now. At the forefront is that we’re moving into our own building in less than a month. After three plus years of worshiping in a school gym, it will be a very welcome experience. More excitement comes from fellow church goers, Scott and Diane Peterson. You see, right now Scott’s living …
THORific Thursday
Okay, you’ll have to pardon the cheesy title, but you see, I have a very good excuse: on the same evening that our Minnesota Vikings managed to eke out only their second win of the season, I–along with my family plus four college students–watched the Norse demi-god lead Asgard to victory. To be more specific, we went to the 11:00 …
November 2013 – Novel Anticipation
SINGULARITY, The Jevin Banks Experience Book #2 by Steven James (Revell) – As I mentioned in my What Books are on Your Nightstand? post, I’ve already read Singularity, so this is more of a Novel Recommendation than Anticipation. Steven James continues to put out intelligent, gripping, frightening, page-turning stories. In my opinion, he’s one of the best authors of suspense / …
