Friends, I’m keeping it short and sweet today, because I’m busy writing my next book, The Fruitful Life: Addressing Common Sins and Growing in Faith. I hope you’ll join me tomorrow when I begin my sneak peeks into The Fruitful Life before it launches on March 5. Today, I hope you enjoy these two reviews on Energy Reset and 40-Day Lent Vocabulary Word Devotional.
Writing for five unedited minutes on the prompt, Weak. Thoughts about my new book on the fruits of the spirit.
When my love is weak, apathy spreads.
When my joy is weak, irritation climbs.
Enjoy four book reviews and check out my latest book, Newness of Life, for another good read!
I Am by Michele Cushatt
Michele Cushatt has an amazing testimony. She speaks with raw transparency about surviving cancer, facing hard days as a wife and mother, and surmounting challenges in her speaking and writing career, Her personal stories have depth and richness you don’t typically find in devotionals. I like her fresh, honest voice crackling with both laughter and tears. Reading her devotions feels like sitting down with my favorite kind of friend–a woman who isn’t afraid to tell me the truth about herself and about me.
Enjoy three book reviews and check out my latest book, Newness of Life, for another good read!

No More Faking Fine by Esther Fleece
I heard Esther speak on a recent Focus on the Family broadcast, and I was drawn into her story of a painful childhood. She wore masks to protect herself from the abuse and chaos of a dysfunctional family. When she reached a pinnacle in her career yet felt low and empty, she finally realized her masks kept her from experiencing the depth of faith she craved. Her book is written to set others free from pretense and a superficial relationship with God.
