Let God Write the Book
Saying that God wrote your book is something of a joke in Christian publishing. Because while really, hopefully, He did have an awful lot to do with it, you still want to walk that fine line between being inspired and sounding, um, nutty. While I certainly give God...
Appalachian Thursday–Say it with (Wild)Flowers
