"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."

The Table

God Uses Scatterbrained Screwups
I'd like to blame my scattered brain on the time change. I really hate the "Spring forward" thing. Don't you? Perhaps partial blame can be placed there. At least, I hope so. But the truth is—it's really nothing new for me. To have a hundred thoughts coursing through...
PRAYERS THAT MAKE IT PAST THE CEILING
When my son, Kevin was four-years-old, I bought him a helium filled balloon. As soon as we got outside, he intentionally let the balloon go. He watched as it floated higher and higher in the sky until he couldn’t see it any longer. Then he exclaimed with delight,...
IS LYING ALWAYS WRONG?
“Mommy, are you mad?” It was 3:33 am when my precious four-year-old daughter, Charity woke me. I know this because I squinted to focus on those dreaded red digital numbers glowing from my nightstand.Our entire family had been sick with the flu. So yeah, I was mad to...
STOP LYING TO YOURSELF
Humans are masters of deception. We don’t like to admit it, but it’s in our nature to cover things up. The first sin in human history started with a lie when Adam and Eve tried to cover the result of that sin. We lie to avoid punishment and embarrassment. We lie to...
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
For the past ten years, my bratty thyroid has controlled my life, my sleep, and my waist line. If you’ve ever struggled with a hormone imbalance, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I feel as though I’ve been playing an unfair game of tug-of-war with my weight...
God Loves A Garden
I sit outside early in the morning. A slight chill lingers, but not enough for a jacket. A breeze circulates the scent of the jasmine and rosemary bushes from across the wall. The birds sing and chatter in the trees in my front yard. The sky turns from deep purple to...
HOPE IS AN ANCHOR
Hope is an anchor. According to Hebrews 6:19, "This hope (in God’s promises) is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls." What is an anchor and what does it do? An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to connect a vessel (such as a boat) to the bed...
