Life Impact Ministries
I was in Colorado Springs three weeks ago as a mentor for Jerry Jenkins’ Christian Writers Guild. It was a great week. But the highlight was when I stole away for a few hours to meet the founder of Life Impact Ministries, a nationwide ministry for inmates and their families.
I need a resourceHi Suzanne,
I heard your name on a radio show and thought you might be able to point me to a good resource.
I’m a mental health case manager and I work with several people who have a history of physical and/or sexual abuse. Can you suggest a book that I might pass along that might help them to get back their lives and their sense of self-worth? Thanks, Felicia (more…)
The Message
A group of teens showed up at my door one day. I was 14. I wish I knew where they were today.
I owe them an apology. . .
Religion book of the day
The Woman I Am Becoming was featured as the Religion Book of the Day by Jim Agnew.
Writer’s Block
Writing can be a barren place. In 2006 and 2007, three books were published. But they were written in 2005 and 226.
Since July of last year I’ve not been able to write.
Funny, but I’ve penned thousands of words and articles and blogs, but the books I wanted to write? Nada. Zilch. I could blame time, or busyness, or travel. But can I be honest? It’s not any of those.
I was stuck. For whatever reason, the words in my heart just wouldn’t come. . . (more…)
A Real Father
I love it when visitors to this blog send me their stories. I’m a collector of stories. Some people collect Precious Moments or antiques, but I am always on the lookout for a story of relevant faith. I work with teens, and a growing number of girls struggle with father issues, as do women of all ages. I never knew my biological father, though I met him once or twice, so I get that. But I’m grateful for a heavenly Father, one I can sense, feel, trust, and know. That’s the heart of today’s story–from a reader who discovered what a Father could be. . .
I am a child of divorce. My mother married an abusive man, then left him when I was four. I never saw him again. (more…)
Faith. . .
Faith.
It’s such a powerful word, but also one that is a bit murky. What does it mean to have faith? (more…)
A cup of conflict anyone?But what is a movie without conflict? Where’s the drama without a mountain of impossibility to climb? The very thing that makes for an exciting story is the same thing that makes for a wonderful and amazing life: overcoming the impossible. Eric and Leslie Ludy.

You are the bomba!
This morning I found a card resting against my bedroom door. I shuffled out of the bedroom with my morning non-personality intact. I picked up the card and opened it and the rocking music made my hips start to move.
La La Bomba! (more…)
I just don’t get the Bible
A few of my friends and I were sitting around a campfire recently and the conversation turned to faith.
“I just don’t understand the Bible,” one friend said. “I read it. I just don’t get it.”
Maybe that’s your struggle, too. One resource that has really be helpful to me is Studylight. It’s an online resource that allows you to read passages of scripture (it also has an audio feature that will read it to you), but it offers much more than that. (more…)
