Just out: A NEW THING, a small town romance

If you are looking for a sweet, small-town romance with all the southern, cozy feels—A New Thing could be the book for you! A story of second chances and forgiveness, this heartwarming Christian fiction will invite you into the lives of unique characters in the charming town of Worthville, touching on challenges of the empty nest, running a business, complex family relationships, and the possibility of romance. A delightful, encouraging read… perfect, of course, with a glass of sweet tea! —Laura Thomas, award-winning Christian fiction author

Also recently released:

In Search of the Painted Bunting is a poignant and perceptive portrait of a young girl struggling with timeless challenges. Cornelia Taylor is on a quest to find an exotic bird, the Painted Bunting. But, like all quests, her path does not go on a straight line. It branches out in unexpected ways as Cornelia navigates the turbulent 1960s, as well as the turbulence in her family and at school. The discoveries Cornelia makes and the lessons she learns along the way are just as relevant today. This story raises important questions for every reader. What is your Painted Bunting? What is your quest? And how does God speak to you and lead you along the twists and turns of your path? I highly recommend In Search of the Painted Bunting, as it explores the joys and heartbreaks of adolescence. It will inspire you to search for your own elusive Painted Bunting. - Doug Peterson, Author of over 40 VeggieTales books

My neighbor's apple tree, Luther, and planting hope

Here in an edited repost, I am sharing one of my favorite messages for Holy Week today. Dear friends, have a blessed Holy Week and Easter. May His presence be especially real to you during this Holy season. My neighbor’s apple tree used to branch over into my yard each spring allowing the people at my house to enjoy the blossoms. Later in the year, the deer made nightly excursions to devour apples that hung on its low branches. The tree was planted by the family who first built the house next door. In fact, they called the tree by their daughter's name as her daughter planted it when she was just a little girl. The former neighbors passed many years ago but the memories of the apple tree they planted and the fruit it bore are still with me. The sixteenth century Protestant Reformer, Martin Luther loved trees. According to one source, “The fresh Spring green of the trees was for him a symbol for the resurrection of the dead. It is said that in the tr...

The Declaration and Freedom

Abigail Adams once said in a letter to her husband, the future second president of the United States and the man whose ideas helped shape the Declaration of Independence, “Posterity who are to reap the blessings will scarcely be able to conceive the hardships and sufferings of their ancestors.” Of the soldiers of the American Revolution, they were sometimes called “peasantry” and “rabble in arms” because of the deplorable state of their clothing. Any uniforms they wore were left over from an earlier conflict. They often went without baths because of digging trenches and moving rock. In John McCullough’s book, 1776, he writes before Washington’s pivotal move crossing the Delaware and surprising Hessian troops, Charles Wilson Peale walked among the troops. “… they looked as wretched as any men he had ever seen. One had almost no clothes. ‘He was in an old dirty blanket jacket, his beard long, and his face so full of sores … so ‘disfigured’ was he that Peale failed at fir...

Red clay dust, Harper's Five and Dime, and the Father's Heart

We boomers tend to reminisce, and the other day I found myself remembering how, as a middle schooler, I often walked from school to my dad’s office downtown. I’d show up a bit bedraggled with red clay dust from a playground game of Red Rover or kick ball all over my white anklet socks. My semi-naturally curly hair also probably stuck out in every direction and needed brushing. As the scent of carbon paper floated in the air, Dad wouldn’t bother with my hair, but he’d sit me down and brush off those socks with his hand. For some reason, those dirty socks really bothered him. He’d give me a little change, and I’d head down to Harpers Five and Dime where I’d spend too long at their candy and nut counter trying to decide between the chocolate covered peanuts, cashew nuts, and chocolate stars. It was a big decision, and when I’d made it, I may have asked for a dime's worth of what I wanted, which would be put in a paper sack. I’d pay, take my sack, and return to my dad’s office. The...
