I had the privilege of endorsing a book to be released this week, and it’s one I’d recommend to anyone seeking gospel-soaked encouragement while grappling with illness. Incurable Faith by Andrea Herzer is a devotional focused specifically on chronic illness. Herzer has struggled with lymphoma and chronic pain for years, and in this poignant book…
Dream Keeper Saga Discussion Guide Now Available – for Free!
A couple of months ago, a parent reached out to inquire if The Dream Keeper Saga included any discussion questions. I sheepishly admitted that no, it didn’t. . . but it should have.

Primary Sources and Vernal Pools: Homeschool Day-in-the-Life, Year Seven
I’m a bit shocked that this is the seventh year I’ve written a day-in-the life homeschooling post. The days are long, but the years have flown by so quickly. Pip is now 10, and Bean is about to turn 8; our days are full and sweet. I’ve found that the school days are easier in…
A Few Beautiful Kids’ Books for Wintry Days
Happy New Year, friends! I’m sorry for my (months-long?!) silence. The past year has been a hard season, and I’ve only had the bandwidth to focus on the ministries in my own home and neighborhood. On the writing front, I’ve had to prioritize books under contract, squeezing sentences into the crevices of days and putting…
Jack Zulu and the Waylander’s Key: A New Book from S.D. Smith!
S.D. Smith describes his novels as new stories with old souls. It’s just that combination of inventiveness and gospel hope that made his Green Ember series so formative for my kids in the younger years. His heroic rabbit characters broke through the pages of the books and joined my kids on their backyard adventures, and…

If you’re struggling to decide upon the next read-aloud…
