LOVE IS KIND by Laura Sassi- Book Review & Giveaway
In LOVE IS KIND, by Laura Sassi, there’s a precious little owl in pursuit of the perfect gift for Grammy’s birthday—a heart-shaped box of chocolates.

French artist, Lison Chaperon, gives attention to every detail in the adorable illustrations. I love how she weaves verses from the “love chapter,” 1 Corinthians 13, into her illustrations of a stream, over a hearth, in the petals of a sunflower, and other special places.

The problem lies in narrowing it down to one book! Books have influenced my whole life. But when I was thirty-years-old, there was a book which was life-changing for me. Blessed with Children My life brimmed with children—twenty -eight kindergarten students during the day, and my own two toddlers at night. In addition to His Holy Word, God used another book to drastically change that number of children and to…

The Christian Faith of Rosa Parks
What many history books and public speakers fail to mention is the Christian faith of Rosa Parks. Her faith was integral to the choices she made in her life—some of which changed the lives of millions. Rosa Parks said, “As a child, I learned from the Bible to trust in God and not be afraid.

Many gave tribute to the bravery of the former Alabama seamstress,…
