We live in a society where independence and self-sufficiency are highly-valued, which is great, but that also makes it easy for us to forget that Christ is our cornerstone. He is our foundation. He is our strength, and we need to rest in Him. I love the simple message in this song, Cornerstone. Christ alone is our cornerstone, and He is …
Getting to Know Author Keely Brooke Keith
*** Multiple Book Giveaway *** See contest rules below I had the pleasure of *meeting* Keely Brooke Keith last summer when our debut publishing journeys happened down the same path.

A Visit With Best-Selling Author, Jim West
*** Book Giveaway! See contest rules below *** I had the privilege of *meeting* Jim West several years ago thanks to the wonderful Soldiers Angels program. Our family volunteered to adopt a soldier, which meant we’d write letters and send care packages several times over a period of months. We were told not to expect return correspondence, which was fine …
STAY – Pieces of Granite Playlist
In Pieces of Granite, the hero’s [Jerry’s] greatest fear is that his wife [Debbie] will leave him. Like most fears, it’s brought on by experience as almost everyone he’s loved in his life has abandoned him. So, when I heard the song “STAY” by Tenth Avenue North, I knew this would be Jerry’s song. I love the passion in the lyrics and …

In December, Jennifer’s sophomore work, WHEN DAWN BREAKS, came out, and I love the reviews it’s getting, saying that the story is very real, …
Broken Together – Pieces of Granite Playlist
Years ago the line from the Jerry Maguire movie, “You complete me” made women swoon and suddenly became the catch phrase for couples. Sure, it sounds romantic and loving, but how realistic is it? Are we really going to lay that weight on our boy/girlfriend? Fiancée? Spouse? Are we going to rely on them for our wholeness? So many couples walk down …
Gone Visiting
I’m down the road a bit today, visiting author Keely Brooke Keith‘s blog, and she’s asked some fun, not-so-usual questions. If you have a moment, stop by and say “hi.” https://www.keelybrookekeith.com/2015/02/author-interview-series-brendasanderson.html I also just discovered a review of Pieces of Granite by friend and co-Inkspirational Messages contributor, Kav Rees. I’m blessed and humbled by her gracious words. https://bestreads-kav.blogspot.com/2015/02/pieces-of-granite.html And Kav …
Strong Enough – Pieces of Granite Playlist
Most of the popular Christian fiction I read has a strong heroine. That’s no surprise as who doesn’t love a strong woman? Can you think of a better role model for our young women of today? Yet oftentimes that personal strength comes at the expense of depending upon God. So, in Pieces of Granite I wanted to turn the strong-woman idea …
