"This is a YA read, but adults will also enjoy and learn from this fast-paced book. I started it with every intention of reading a few chapters before bed. Five hours later I had devoured the entire book. The characters are beautifully flawed and I found myself cheering for them when they couldn’t cheer for themselves. There are some hard, but real, issues addressed in this book. I appreciate that Beckie Lindsey addresses topics that are often ignored and spotlights the reality that there is more going on that what we may ever see with our eyes. This is a great read for teens who are fighting their own battles, as well as adults who would like insight into the struggles of today’s teens and young adults face."

Pay Attention to How You Hear
My daughter, Charity phoned and asked if I wanted to meet her for coffee. Um, first let me just say, you don't need to ask me twice if I want to meet for coffee. And secondly, as a mom of adult kids, I jump at the chance to visit when they call. Sadly, when I arrived...

Are You Living Life Through Your Rearview Mirror or To-do List?
Most of us take on traits from our parents—some good, some not so good. My sweet mama was a nostalgic person. I inherited that characteristic from her. The Lord often uses my romanticized lense of life to emote through my writing. So, while on the one hand, it's a...

Getting Really Real with God
I've been trying something new this year, and it has transformed my relationship with God. I'm being really real. I know, it may sound silly. I mean, God knows everything. Yeah, well, I'm sure Adam and Eve realized that fact, too. And yet they hid. Let that sink in...
