After She Falls – Carmen Schober
After She Falls by Carmen Schober is not the type of book to which I would normally be drawn. I’m an equestrian, not a fighter. One of my coworkers trains in mixed martial arts, but I […]

A Perfect Day – Jennifer Yerkes
Beautiful and artful, A Perfect Day is the perfect book for a young nature lover. While many children’s books exist because of their text—usually in sing-songy rhythm—A Perfect Day is primarily about the art and […]

Seek and Find New Testament Stories – Sarah Parker
Bear with me while I get a little bit philosophical. In seminary, one of the first things they teach you (or should teach you) is the necessity of reading Scripture in its context. That means […]

The Mask of Mirrors – M.A. Carrick
The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick caught my attention first due to its cover–and after reading the novel, the title couldn’t be more perfect. Some of my favorite stories involve masks, so of course a […]

I Can Help – Reem Faruqi and Mikela Prevost
I Can Help is a story of redemption. Not a typical one and, if I’m honest, not as satisfying as I’d hoped, but an authentic one. It’s a story about how self-preservation can cause us […]

The Very Hungry Plant – Renato Morigoni
This is a book about The Very Hungry Plant. It’s a simple tale. First, there is a carnivorous plant. Then, it eats everything. Renato Morigoni’s painted narrative grows more and more absurd as the plant […]
