Don't be scared off by the title!
Love and War by John and Stasi Eldredge is out just in time for Valentine's Day. And what else could Love and War be about other than marriage! I mean where else do the terms love and war work so well together? lol. I love my marriage, but sometimes you want to call war because of disagreements.
I'll admit I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book. We've (Mr. C & I) been together for a long time, so I've read a lot of marriage counselling books over the years. But to my surprise I was sobbing by the the end of chapter one. Th...

Are you a fan of Jane Austen?
I know I am ever since Anne Hathaway played Jane Austen in the movie, Becoming Jane. It's amazing how movies can bring an old book back to life. I remember hearing of this book when I was younger, but really didn't give it a second glance until the past year or so. It's a classic I know!
SO, when I saw that there was a version coming out of this book I jumped at the chance to read it. It is the Sense and Sensibility Insight Edition put out by Bethany House.
I had to laugh because I brought this book with to the dentist the other day and I had ...
So I found a new publisher! Their name is Revival Nation Publishing. I am always happy to see Christian publishers coming up, and as always I'm curious as to what they're putting out!
I contacted the publisher and got a copy of a few books that I'm excited to read!
I also recieved some copies to share with my readers, which I'm thrilled about! So this month's giveaway will be for a children's book! Which I'm quite thrilled about because what a better way to encourage our children is to read to them and to have great books for them to read from!
So onto the book!

Excellent photo and scripture!
Great post today!
Great verse! I have been studying the book of James – what a powerful book. Our tongues can get us into so much trouble but praise God is there to give us the victory!! Have a blessed WFW!
AAAAHHHHHhhhhhhh! A MOUSE! A MOUSE!
Oh wait!
*Gasping for breath*
It’s just an image on the computer, it can’t hurt me. It won’t hurt me.
Looks at image again.
AAAHHHHHH!! A MOUSE! A MOUSE!
Lol.
Yes…mice are wicked. Very wicked indeed and so are those who feel that our Father in Heaven does not see or hear what they do. In the end, we are all accountable for our words, our actions and our hearts, and it doesn’t matter where we are or what we do, our Father sees us.
I agree with Tammy. Our tongues are more sharper than tongue and though the words can sound like honey, may not carry words that are good for us.
Right now I’m reading 1 Corinthians as part of my daily bible reading and wow…talk about a powerful punch then I stumble on a blog that had this verse:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble.” 1 Corinthians 10:31-32a
I like how the blogger pointed out, “Whatever you do” covers everything, and there is no place where we are really hidden…like that mouse.
*Shuddering*
Not really a big mouse lover here.
Where there’s mice…there’s snakes and yes, been wearing regular shoes lately….can run faster. LOL
Great WFW and very mindful. Now I need to clean my computer screen, lol.
Fantastic WFW.
you should have heard the words that came out of me when I found one of those hanging out in my house…:) FANTASTIC image as always…thanks for letting me hostess, it’s such fun!
I missed last weeks somehow, but looked it up…LOVED it too! You so totally inspire!
Peace,
lori
Inspiring words of God thanks…Mine is up too.
What a cute WFW! Hope you are having a great day!
wow — this is the 3rd verse about guarding your tongue I’ve read so far ((I think there is a lesson here)). Thank you for sharing such sobering truth!!
I’m so glad God has made a way of escape for us through His son, Jesus.

Oh what a verse! That was so me a few months ago. I hate to admit it words from my mouth were wicked, but I am Praising God that I have escaped the trap! Now I must continue on in that direction!
Thanks for your kind words. Life really has been a mess lately.
God bless,
Lisa
