Anticipation Answered???

Y'all pray for my daughter, Selah. Girlfriend hasn't bought that child a blessed thing for Christmas. My body and soul has begun to do it's yearly dance. It connects. It fasts, prays, praises, anticipates...Lord, have mercy. There's nothing I can do about it but rejoice and write. Hadn't thought about shopping for her or anyone, but God. What can I get him that no one else can?

There is a time when I'm feeling fine--my hands are warm and don't hurt, and when my back doesn't bother me when I bend over." She [Miss Susie] placed her hands back in the bowl. "But the truth is, I don't kow if I've ever seen that perfect time. Everyday I just show up and make biscuits, Happy or sad hands or back aching, flour or powder ain't right. I still make do and make the biscuits. The same way with life. The same way with love. You go to keep showing up. If you gon' win over the evil that tries to kill you, you got to keep doing it anyway.>

Caressing the dough like a loved one, she formed the mixture into a ball. "If you gone love, you got to love even when it don't make sense... if you want to live, you got to take it by force and you can't wait until the perfect day to bake your biscuits."- Miss Susie's Living your best life now/baking biscuits analogy to Armentia.

The Ephiphany Factor

There are stacks of books on my tables in my living room. Most of them are some form of inspirational romance. Every day my mailman drops off another novel for me. Every day a new novel is sat on the bottom of these stacks. Some books are not read before their release date. Some novels never reach my home until after its shelf life. And some novels move above the rest. Yet, they are read. Some find placement in one of my magazines or in a bookstores magazine. Others find placement on my site or blog. And others, I can't seem to stop talking about: here, here, and here. But what I rarely see in these novels is an Epiphany factor. Click here for more about The Epiphany Factor.

Repost: Best Summer Biblical Fiction

Ginger Garrett's Dark Hour

This summer I highlighted this novel as one of the best summer selections for Christian Readers. God is good. He has blessed me to call the good ones out, because this month the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance has made it our book selection. Remember today is an open track back day, leave your best blog entry in the trackback.

An excerpt from Chapter One...

Athaliah realized her own body was trembling. She tried to steady herself and call a servant but a living Presence moved into the room and silenced her. She watched as the hairs along her arms stood straight up, and the hairs unseen everywhere on her body raised as well. Her breath stopped and terror overwhelmed her, perhaps if she looked out of the corner of her eye, she would see the God Miraiah had called. She bit her lip and forced herself to look, but saw nothing.

Dark Hour is a biblical historical, but fictional account of 2 Chronicles 21-23, written in Queen Athaliah and Princess warrior Jehoshebeth points of views.

Honey, Desperate Housewives has nothing on this book (second installment of Garrett's Serpent Moon Trilogy.)

I really liked this book, because of the strong women characters portrayed. Although Athaliah is horrid, Garrett gives her some balance. Jehoshebeth's reverance for her wayward stepmom also brings a little balance, too. This book is a great supplement to a bible study and a great read. My mom, who is not a reader, is reading my copy now. :)
