Celebrating International Women’s Day & Inspiring Books to Teach Women's History

Monday, March 3, 2025

March is Women’s History Month, a time to reflect on the incredible contributions of women throughout history. Within this month of recognition, March 8th stands out as International Women’s Day (IWD)—a global celebration of women’s achievements and a call to action for gender equality. The theme “Join together for gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow” reminds us that a just and equitable world benefits everyone, and that the future depends on breaking barriers for women everywhere.

What lies heaviest on your heart as you lay your head on your pillow? Are paralyzing fear and anxiety stealing tomorrow's peace? Listen to this invitation from Jesus: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28 NIV). Experiencing this kind of rest won't come from escapism, more vacation days, or stuffing our feelings. Jesus Himself provides rest to our weary souls. While He may not always fix everything right away, we can fix our thoughts on His Word. In doing this, we can sleep at night with ease knowing that God has it all under control.

Through the pages of Clear Mind, Peaceful Heart, written by New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst and her friends at Proverbs 31 Ministries, you will be equipped to:

• Quiet fearful and anxious thoughts that always seem to be the loudest before bedtime by incorporating the Bible into your nightly routine

• Find relief from the stress of daily obligations and pressures through 50 encouraging devotions and guided prayers written by women like you

• Release the heaviness you feel about hard situations in your life so you can wake up refreshed and walk into the next day with courage

Order The Christian Capitalist today! + Giveaway

Tuesday, June 25, 2024

Many thanks to GoodWorks Mission, LLC for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

The Christian Capitalist explores various scriptural references that support twin pillars of Christian belief:
1) working hard to make a productive benefit from talents and materials that God has provided all people; and 2) giving generously to share those benefits with our neighbors in the name of Jesus Christ. Through a discussion of Holy Scripture, it analyzes various passages that relate to these concepts of productivity and generosity, along with two thousand years of history discussing the good works of Christians as examples. Ultimately, this book develops a philoso- phy that is uniquely Christian and capitalist: the Gospel of Hard Work and Generous Giving! Order your copy of The Christian Capitalist today!

Holiday Gift Idea Favorites from Nat Geo Kids Books

Tuesday, November 9, 2021

This holiday season National Geographic Kids Books has something for every curious kid -- from big, beautiful and WOW-worthy titles to stocking stuffers that are, well, STUFFED with fun facts and photos galore. We love reading in our house. I remember a few years back I gave my niece a bunch of books for her birthday. Comments were made about it to me. But she came up to me so excited and thanked me for them. She loves to read and has been looking for more ways to get more books so from then on out, I have been giving her a book as part of her gifts ever since. There is nothing like an actual book to hold. And each year for Christmas I started giving my own children and nieces; something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read. It has been a huge hit.
