JUNE 1 – 20th Anniversary & 1 month till NIGHTSHADE
Wow! I’m so excited. Today is June 1st–that means two very awesome things are happening in my life. First…My TWENTIETH anniversary! No kidding. On June 1, 1990 I married the man of my dreams. I knew I had to snag him fast before he figured out the truth (hehe). Brian is a real hero. God has closed many doors to Brian’s dreams (army, architecture, FBI) but he has pressed on. Now, he’s able to speak/read/understand Arabic (not fluently yet). We aren’t sure what God has on the horizon for us, but I am really honored and excited to journey with my amazing man. And…now…second…today means there’s ONE MONTH left until Nightshade releases. YAY! In honor of that, I’d like to …
NIGHTSHADE Trailer!!
YOU READY FOR THIS? *GRINS* In one month, Nightshade will release to the unsuspecting public. Until then…you have this to help you prepare. I just received the trailer for NIGHTSHADE. Misty Taggart and her team at TRAILER TO THE STARS did a fabulous job with it, don’t you think? A review: This intense story full of action, is also full of emotion and life. Men dealing with issues they hadn’t planned on. Surprise after surprise and bomb after bomb set this adventurous trail with the reader racing to the end. I found myself crying and smiling and hated it when it ended. ~~Jan Crow, Katy Budget Books, Book Buyer Have you pre-ordered your copy yet?

The Gospel for Muslims
We live a world that is ever-changing, and with it, we are seeing a stronger and larger presence of Muslims. Rather than run in fear or hide in our homes, Christians should be prepared. Armed with knowledge, not only of our own faith, but of the basic doctrines of the Muslim faith. Recently, I downloaded a copy of The Gospel for Muslims by Thabiti Anyabwile. I have to say this is one of the simplest yet information-packed books I’ve read recently. It’s not a long book (144 pages) but it is a treasure trove of information. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed this book so much that I went and bought my own copy so I can mark it …
