"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."

When God Shows Up
I’m sure the nurse heard the strain in my voice when she called to inform me of a surgery date to remove the mass—the culprit of my stage 4 ovarian cancer diagnosis. “Can’t we move the date up? I asked. “Waiting until July 7th would make it over six weeks from my last...

Accepting Help
Since my diagnosis of stage 4 ovarian cancer in early February, I have received an outpouring of prayers, cards, gifts, love, and support. It fills my heart with joy to have so many people that care. But if I’m being completely honest, I have also found myself a bit...
Patience During Cancer
Since I began this unwanted journey of ovarian cancer back in January, there has been a lot of waiting. I hate waiting. You probably do too. Yet it’s something we all must do. For example, did you know that according to AAA Insurance, the average American will spend...
Finding Peace and Joy in Cancer
CANCER. No one likes the word, particularly when it concerns someone you love or yourself. I heard the dreaded "C" word during my recent visit to the ER. I haven't felt right for several weeks. A CT scan, ultrasound, and other tests all point to ovarian cancer....
Christians, Don’t Disengage! 4 Steps to Unite and Re-engage

What’s Love Got to Do with It? Fruit of the Spirit (part 1)
New Year’s didn’t start the way I hoped. Since the beginning of the month, I’ve been sick with a flu you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy compounded with complications of another ongoing health issue. Thank God it wasn’t Covid, but it wasn’t the sniffles where you...
Shining a Light in the Darkness: What You Can Do about Human Trafficking
Over the past few years, I’ve had the honor of meeting and interviewing some remarkable women who opened my eyes to something I didn’t even know existed: modern-day slavery. I firmly believe that awareness leads to action. Since January is National Slavery and Human...
