2006 Christianity Today Book Awards

Fiction winner

This Heavy Silence

Nuanced characterization, finely wrought scene-setting, subtlety in addressing questions of faith, repentance, and forgiveness. Mazzarella appreciates the ways that decent, hardworking, righteous people can be tempted to go astray. Her characters are developed masterfully, and her prose style is both beautiful and precise.

Mother's Psalm

Mother's Psalm

by Davidae

I am more than a swan shielding ducklings underneath my white wings and black mouth.

I am more than the dew mist sprinkling your schoolbound face.

I am dark like the night, a shadow to your soul.

I am everything you taste,

touch,

feel, and

     see.

I am God to you and you are an angel to me.

BookWatch: June 2006

To say that June is a huge month for Christian Fiction would be an understatement. There were so many books sent to my doorstep that I barely have time to write my own bestseller(yea...:) ) And with all these goodies coming down the pipeline, I might have to resurrect the Suwanee Reading Social Club for the summer(toot horn time: we were a cool bunch, the largest Oprah book club in North Georgia with me presiding!)

Anyway, this month I will highlight as many  choice reads as I can. Stay tuned this month as I review some of them at Gospel Fiction.

 

 

Deanne Gist delivers The Measure of a Lady. Her debut novel A Bride Most Begrudging sold over 100,000 copies.  The story involves Rachel van Buren, Tthe California Gold Rush, and a missionary-turned-gambler. Oh those bad boy preachers. I tell ya. Go, Deanne!

Something Ventured

When Herod heard John he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.

-Mark  6:20

Today, my Sunday School buddies and I had an interesting discussion about the DaVinci Code, John the Baptist's beheading, and our own evangelistic pursuits.

 

Have you ever ventured out of your normal routine to share Christ with others?

 

Let's talk about it over at The Master's Artist today. More...
