When my husband and I moved our family from Florida to Georgia in the eighties I became to a full-fledged, grits eating, southerner, y’all. Except I never learned to drink sweet tea or any tea. So maybe full-fledged is a bit over-stated. Anyway, my love for all things southern inspired me to create a series…

The Ear of the Lord by Barbara M. Britton ~ Truth in Fiction Blog
Recently, I published a series on the daughters of Zelophehad. These sisters of faith were tucked away in the book of Numbers in the Old Testament. The story of these sisters was new to me. I have been a Christian for decades so why hadn’t I heard about these girls? The story of five orphaned…
Where is Home? by Amy Anguish ~ Truth in Fiction Blog
Living in one place for your whole life—I will never understand that. You see, I’ve never lived anywhere longer than six years. No. I’m not an “army brat.” I’m a PK—a preacher’s kid. Growing up, having to move and start all over again every few years was the worst. But looking back, I can see…
When Waves Break by Allison Wells ~ Truth in Fiction Blog
Writing about heartache isn’t always easy, especially from a Christian perspective. Writing about purposeful sin also is not easy for a Christian author, yet in real life, Christians choose sin every single day. That’s why I chose to include an unplanned, teen pregnancy in my novel When Waves Break. As the daughter of a pastor,…
The Inn at Cranberry Cove by June Foster ~ Truth in Fiction Blog
Twenty years ago, my husband and I lived in Washington state – in Olympia, the capitol. I love the Pacific northwest and frequently set my stories there. In fact, the first five or so were inspired by the forests of Douglas fir, majestic mountains, and lakes and streams that are perfect for fishing. One weekend…

Rahab hid the two Israelite spies from the king of Jericho. In gratitude, they promised to save her and her family when they returned. They told her to stay inside her house until they returned. She did as they said and waited hopefully. She waited and waited. Finally, she saw the Israelites returning and was…
Hope When The World is Sinking
If I look to a worldly leader for hope, I will be let down. Any world leader has no lasting merit. Hope and salvation only has one source. And He, the Lord of Hope, is always by my side. I will cling to Him; I will wait quietly before Him. Jesus Christ alone…
When You Fall by Kay DiBianca ~ Truth in Fiction Blog
In my second cozy mystery novel, Dead Man’s Watch, the protagonist, Kathryn Frasier, takes a bad fall during a women’s half-marathon, a race she had expected to win. Even though her injuries are serious enough that she can’t continue running, she limps through the final miles. She didn’t win the race, but she finished it….

How Far is too Far to Travel for Christmas? by Lorri Dudley ~ Truth in Fiction Blog
One of my favorite stories growing up was Cinderella. I’ve always loved a rags-to-riches trope, where at a ball, the prince falls in love with a commoner. He searches the kingdom to find her and brings her to live happily-ever-after in his castle. Although the prince endured hardship to locate his princess, his sacrifice is…
