Book Review: HOLY IN THE MOMENT {& Giveaway!}
“What difference is holiness making in your life?” If you’re wondering what that means, and what it looks like, you’ll enjoy this week’s book review: HOLY IN THE MOMENT by Ginger Harrington. Plus, there's a giveaway! Don’t click away thinking this is about impossible-to-follow rigid standards encased in hard-to-understand theological terminology. I give you my word, it is not. In fact, there are so many insightful words in this book, I’ve wanted to highlight something on almost every page. But, since I promised to offer this book as a giveaway on the blog, I could not.

Award-winning author, Ginger Harrington, guest posts for me this week with encouragement and wisdom on how to tackle those worries. “We’re moving this summer,” my husband announced as we sat down to dinner.

Book Reviews
I thought it would be easier for you to navigate if I combined all of the book reviews here on one list. The reviews are listed by category and alphabetically by the author’s last name. Some books, especially for children in grades 4 – 7, could fit into more than one category, so check both categories. If you click on the title of the book, a link will take you to the book review. A few of the book reviews have not been reformatted since I transferred them from my old blog. I appreciate your mercy and grace as I work my way through the list!

When It Doesn’t Feel Like Christmas
The tree is decorated, the stockings are hung, and my family is on their way to a family Christmas event. But, due to sickness, I am not with them.
