A person with unfaithful friends soon comes to ruin. But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. ~ Proverbs 18:24 How precious is a close friend! They are worth more than precious gems.

A Cup of Water
Willow Falls Series by Pat Nichols
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…

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
