By: Heather Thompson, Author and Bondservant to Christ Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom – that’s what it says in 2 Corinthians 3:17. We sing it, we say it, and we want to believe it. But, we leave out the first part of the verse. In its entirety it says “Now…

Communing with God
Communing with God is not just spending time with Him in His Word, although this is how you really get to know Him. It’s also finding time throughout the day to just sit and be with Him. (Even for just a few minutes.) It’s finding time to take a walk with Him outside in…
What Does it Take to Be a Spy? by Linda Shenton Matchett
April marks the fourth “birthday” of Spies & Sweethearts, book one in my Sisters in Service series. The idea for the story came together as a result of several incidents, the most fun of which was when I met a woman who’d served in America’s Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the predecessor to the CIA,…
Jericho by R.F. Whong
The Jericho war, as recorded in the Book of Joshua (chapter six), was perhaps the most unusual battle ever won in human history. The Israelites merely marched around it and sounded trumpets, and Jericho’s walls fell. Some skeptics may say the Jericho event had never happened. We visited the ruins a few years ago. Our…

The inspiration for my new release: Meet Me Where the Windrush Flows This is the first time the setting for a story has been my inspiration. In February last year, I was visiting with the woman who does my income taxes. She knows about my novels and my love of traveling. I mentioned that I’d…
Reconciliation by Christina Sinisi
Another Outer Banks Christmas was meant to be a light-hearted novella for the holidays. However, I have a difficult time doing light (even though people who have read it say it’s fun or cute or great). For me, there were parts that were heart-breaking. To be truthful, a retired English professor from the college where…

Unplanned pregnancies seem to interfere…
Hidden Names by Bettie Boswell
My latest book, Hidden Names, is a Christian Romantic Suspense. One of the things I’ve enjoying doing with each of my books is to put a little of myself into the novel. In this story, Amber is an artistic jeweler, who works with gems and stones to create her products. I am definitely not a…
