The more authors I interview, the less traveled I feel. The lives some of these women have led, the places they’ve lived, and the opportunities they’ve taken to minister to a hurting world amazes me. Christine Dillon grew up in Taiwan (the first 22 years of her life), spent time in the Philippines, and she is Australian. Anne Perrault has …

Southern fiction is relatively new sub-genre. Authors have been penning Southern fiction stories for years. In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and state that Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, published in 1936, is a Southern fiction (very long, very well-received) novel.

My husband and I recently started viewing the Bible show The Chosen—the historical drama based on the life of Jesus Christ. It was created by Dallas Jenkins, whose father Jerry Jenkins wrote the Left Behind books with Tim LaHaye. If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to do so. I can’t say it’s Biblically accurate, but the writers do …

The process of finding interviewees, then interviewing them, then scheduling their episodes can be a bit tricky when it comes to timing. A couple of weeks ago, I did an interview with an author whose episode will not publish until March, but we were talking a …

When I think back to all the pain and heartache I could’ve saved myself if I had only been wise (and faithful) enough …
Envy. It’s an insidious four-letter word we’re all familiar with—some of us more intimately than others. Dictionary.com defines it as “a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another’s advantages, success, possessions, etc.” I never gave this emotion much thought as a sin until I was slapped with the word Covetousness.
