The Best Writer's Resource EVER!

Trust me, folks, I don't say this lightly! After thirty years in the writing world, I've seen, written, and contributed to a lot of writers' resources, but never have I seen one as comprehensive and practical as A Step in the Write Direction by Donna Clark Goodrich (www.thewritersfriend.net).

This beautifully written manual covers everything from the basics of composing a well-written piece to marketing it via print, online, and other forms of media. In fact, I am honored to be included in the marketing section about video trailers. Thank you, Donna!

If you purchase only one writer's resource book this year, by all means make it this one! And if you belong to a local critique group, encourage all the members to get a copy so you can use it as a basis for a group study. Check it out and order a copy at www.thewritersfriend.net. You won't regret it!

It's Time to "Embrace Your Freedom"--and Become an Effective Christian

Author Susie Larson knows how to speak to hearts. In Embracing Your Freedom, that is exactly what she does, as she cuts through the fluff of everyday life and hones in on the eternal, calling readers to a nobler effort and a more effective witness.

This excellent book shows that when we allow fears, insecurities, shame, guilt, despair, or sinful appetites to control us, we will never break out of our self-imposed prisons and begin to minister Christ's love and freedom to others. And that, as the Bible so clearly points out, is our "reasonable service."

Complete with devotional insights, justice quotes, anecdotes, prayer guidance, and study/reflective questions, Embracing Your Freedom is the perfect discipleship guide for individuals or study groups--any who wish to grow strong and live free in Christ and to pass that freedom and strength to others.

Terror by Night

Terror by Night by Terry Caffey with James Pence is the chilling but tragically true story of murder, treachery, and ultimately, forgiveness and restoration.

Within a matter of hours, Terry Caffey's home was invaded, his family slaughtered, and he himself attacked and seriously injured. Believing he is the only survivor, he is overjoyed to learn that his sixteen-year-old daughter has also been spared. And then she is arrested for the crime.

Terror by Night will take you on an unbelievable journey that will shock your sense of reality and challenge your commitment to unconditional love. But in the end you will find yourself stirred to love as Terry Caffey loved, the same way Jesus loved Terry...and all of us: undeservedly and without limits. Out of that amazing love will flow a new appreciation of God's mercy and grace, as well as healing to those places we all have where hardness and unforgiveness threaten our ability to hear from and walk with God.

Our Military Heroes...and Those Who Love Them

For anyone who has ever had the privilege of loving and supporting one of our military heroes--particularly a spouse--Jocelyn Green's new book, FAITH DEPLOYED: Daily Encouragement for Military Wives, is the perfect source of guidance and companionship.

With contributing authors from every branch of the U.S. military, this excellent release from Moody Publishers contains not only encouragement for daily living, but also applicable prayers and even resources for military families.

Check it out at www.FaithDeployed.com/ ...and then order a copy for yourself and another copy for a military wife (or two) who just might need a gift of encouragement.

Valeria's Cross...coming in October!

I finally got the picture for the cover of my stand-alone historical novel, Valeria's Cross, releasing from Abingdon Press in October, and I couldn't wait to share it with you! Isn't it beautiful?

And just because you're here visiting my blog, I'm going to make you a special offer. Between now and when this book releases in the Fall, if you'll order one of my other books from Amazon, CBD, or Barnes & Noble and then email me a copy of the receipt (minus your credit card info, of course), I'll put you on the list to receive a free copy of Valeria's Cross when it releases.

Tell your friends! This is open to anyone, so don't miss out. Blessings!
