Book Review: The Noticer
One a recent Sabbath day, I needed something easy and light to read. I needed a story and something that wasn’t too long. So I picked up The Noticer. I am so glad I did!

Book Review: The Grace-Filled Life
The Grace-Filled Life: 52 Devotions to Warm Your Heart and Guide Your Path was something I picked up several years ago, intending to maybe use it for a small group or something. This year, however, I tried to commit to reading only books already on my shelf, and this was one I wanted to get to.
