Got an Urge to "Bake Until Golden"?

There's just something about this cold weather that makes me want to stay inside, start a fire, and...BAKE! Apparently I'm not the only one. The ladies of the Potluck Catering Club are at it again! In their last Potluck Series book, authors Linda Evans Shepherd and Eva Marie Everson have "cooked up" a great story full of mystery, friendship, and faith. Check it out at www.PotluckClub.com.

When You Don't Know What to Pray...

I think we'd all admit that there is no shortage of needs to pray for/about, but at times we struggle with just how to do it. What do we say? How do we say it? What's the most effective approach? Are our prayers reaching beyond the ceiling to God's ears, or are they just empty words bouncing back at us and mocking our efforts?

Author and speaker Linda Evans Shepherd has tackled this common topic in her practical yet poignant new book When You Don't Know What to Pray: How to Talk to God About Anything. Because Linda is herself a deeply committed woman of prayer, driven to that place by desperate circumstances and her abiding faith in a merciful God, her words ring true and her advice is solid.

If you and/or someone you know struggle with effective prayer, consider getting a copy of this book for personal study--and get a copy (or two!) for someone else who needs it. Then watch and see what our faithful God will do!

The Best of Cooking and Reading...from two dear friends!

Fellow authors and dear frinds Linda Evans Shepherd and Eva Marie Everson have "cooked up" a very popular fiction series about a group of women lovingly referred to as "The Potluck Club." A Taste of Fame is their most recent offering, and thanks to their gracious publisher (Revell) I recently had the opportunity to read this humorous and well written novel. I also received a copy of The Potluck Club Cookbook, which is full of fantastic recipes that I can't wait to try! Of course, if you haven't read their previous Potluck Club books, you need to start there. But wherever you are in this Potluck series--just starting or well into it and an established fan--don't miss this newest novel or its accompanying cookbook. In fact, they'd make terrific gifts for all your family and friends who also love to read and/or cook. So don't miss them!
