3. Why We Write at 1st Writes {about discovering your reason for writing};?? A quote from Lee Roddy really spoke to me when I read this post.
If it is God?s will for us to write, then it?s logical that publication should eventually follow. After all, an unfinished manuscript cannot change lives. Even a finished one cannot minister in a drawer or filing cabinet. Only in published form can [our writing] go where you and I will never go, to people we will never meet. Only in published form can it make a difference in eternity.

Book Summary from Amazon: The Staycation Jar was inspired by our six year old daughter who asked us to help her raise money for families with sick children. The storyline and all ideas come directly from our recent Family Staycation where we filled our days with creative meals, main events, silliness, and love projects.
Book Summary from Amazon: When Joe Murphy?s wife, Linda, spies an ad for a ?beautiful 3-story Victorian house in need of some TLC,? the couple jumps at the chance for their dream home. Renovating it will allow them to indulge their passion for antiques and to get closer to an era they believe was a better time. Privately, Joe hopes that the project will also fill the void that has opened within their family life. They embark upon a grueling three-year renovation to restore the house to its former splendor, and everything seems perfect?until the morning Joe awakes to find a horse-drawn milk cart in his driveway and his family inexplicably transported back to the year 1909. Suddenly the Murphys? dream for a simpler time becomes a shocking reality, one in which they will struggle to adapt to turn-of-the-century Iowa while seeking a way to return home. Completely Restored is a unique page-turner of a novel, filled with historical figures and events that help to teach a modern family about the simple joys of life.
Book Description from Amazon: What do you believe about yourself?
Do the words ugly, fat, stupid, and unlovable sound familiar to you?
We let the world tell us who we are. We let family and friends speak lies over us that we start to believe. We let expectations of ourselves and others fill our minds so much that we believe the end will result in failure regardless of what we do.
"Liar Liar" is a manifesto about not only believing the truth about who you truly are, but also speaking that truth into reality. It?s a call to take the next step in your faith and take action with your words.
It will challenge you, change your heart, and lead you in the right direction to believe the truth about your true identity.
Are you ready to get started? To stop believing the lies about who you are? Ready to take an act of faith and courage?
Start your journey today with Liar Liar. It?s time to believe truth, speak truth, and live truth. Remember: You are what you think.
Book Description from Amazon: Have you ever felt like you were just not good enough for God? We are told we must be a good Christian, a loving spouse, a caring and involved parent, active in your community, and so much more.
Can we ever make it?
When are we good enough?
Do we feel like we cannot succeed in this life unless we are a superhero with superpowers?
Grace takes these expectations of culture and society and turns them upside down. God gives us gifts at salvation that tell us we do measure up to God?s standard. We are pleasing to Him. No longer do we need to strive and work to prove ourselves, only to collapse in frustration and failure. Now we can live in the reality of grace which bring peace and life.
Death of the Modern Superhero explores these dilemmas and gives practical solutions to change our thinking to line up with the reality of God?s Truth.? If you enjoy authors such as Philip Yancey, Jerry Bridges, and Brennan Manning; you will enjoy this book.
Book Description from Amazon: Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love the decorations, being surrounded by family, time of quiet reflection and busy (sometimes crazy) get-together with loved ones.
And then of course there are the presents. I used to have a bit of a ?love/hate? relationship with Christmas presents. I loved being able to give nice gifts, but always felt like we had to keep up with what everyone else was doing. The whole commercialization and keeping up with dollar amounts was getting to me.
That?s when I decided to focus on more meaningful homemade gifts. I put some thought, time, effort and lots of love into each present I made. What I didn?t do was put a lot of money into them.
They were very well received by family and friends. In this short book, I would like to share some of those ideas with you.
I hope you will take some time this season to make your own gifts. Share them with friends, family, or even your child?s teacher or the person that delivers your mail.
You don?t need to be super crafty for many of these gift ideas. I?m including a wide variety of ideas and I?m sure just reading through the pages will give you more ideas of your own as well.
