I want to let you in on how I spend time with God in the Bible. Of course, it doesn't always look exactly the same each day or in every season of life, and it won't for you either. And this is just once approach of many you could try, so do what works best for you! But I want…
What’s It About Every Woman A Theologian is a systematic theology (defined here and here) written in an accessible way. The book highlights the importance of theology for the everyday Christian, not just pastors and Bible scholars, and teaches theology in a practical way.

I'm gonna make a bold statement: If you take a step of faith and learn to pray the Bible regularly it will be one of the most transformative practices in your walk with God. I've found that to be true in my own life, so I'm going to teach you three simple ways you can make praying God's Word a…

He courageously admitted that although He is a follower of Jesus, he doesn’t know the Word as well as he’d like to. I respect him so much for that post and…

I also love sharing books that have impacted me with other people so that they can be encouraged and equipped too. That’s the inspiration behind the Book Reviews section of this blog.
