Books To Read

THE POWER TO BE

by Twila Belk

It seems author Twila Belk has figured out the formula. I can’t be courageous until I’m strong. I can’t be strong until I’m grateful. And I can’t be grateful until I’m still.

No wonder she came up with the title The Power to Be. This book empowers me to be all those things and more!

Twila’s trademark style of friend-girl humor and honesty are woven through these scriptural principles and life steps. Her power statements provide intentional affirmations I can take with me the rest of the day, with mind and heart inspired to be exactly what God wants. —Kathy Carlton Willis, author and speaker, God’s Grin Gal

MESSY TO MEANINGFUL

by Monica Schmelter, Rhonda & Kaley Rhea

I encourage everyone who has a junk drawer (or multiples as in my case) to read this Messy to Meaningful: Lessons from the Junk Drawer! Delightful and refreshing yet filled with God’s truth about how our junk drawers may be reflecting a wee bit more than we thought!

Through illustrations from the “junk” we often keep and the attachments they represent, these three women challenge and encourage us to let go of a few things so God can transform our junk drawers and our lives.

Great as a self-reflective study or for a women’s small group seeking God’s every day transformation. —Debbie Cunningham

ARTICLES, ARTICLES, ARTICLES!

by Linda Gilden

For many years, I’ve encouraged writers to be publishing magazine articles. Linda Gilden has done a great service to the writing community with ARTICLES, ARTICLES, ARTICLES!

This book contains a cornucopia of information for every writer. In addition to Gilden’s own depth of experience writing for magazines, throughout the book, she includes tips from other editors, authors and professionals called “Expert Word.”

Whether you are brand new to the writing world or an experienced professional, you will gain insights and ideas and action steps from ARTICLES, ARTICLES, ARTICLES! I highly recommend this wellcrafted book. —W. Terry Whalin
