I really appreciate your channel, being a born again christian. The Ladies Bible study group at my church; called Women Of The Word, are doing Phillipians this year. Unfortunately I can't go. I had a 2nd total shldr. replacement on the same shldr. and there were serious complications. I am in P.T. My absolute, all time favorite book is Little Women. I collect different versions of it. I am a huge Alcott fan. I have been in Orchard House numerous times as I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts which is next to Concord. Have many of her bks. and bks. on her life as well as her journals. Julie Klassen is a fantastic writer. Are you aware of Christian Book Distributors in Beverly Massachusetts? They have very good prices, free catalogs. Just got their most recent fiction catalog. Thank you very much. Rev.21:4

Awww, Eileen, that means SO much. Sorry to hear about your shoulder! I'm hosting a Philippians study that starts Monday if you'd like to join us! Little Women is absolutely timeless and such a comfort read for me. Love it too! That's amazing that you've been to Orchard House! I've watched videos of people visiting and it's so quaint! I have ordered from CBD. Thanks for reminding me of them - didn't know they were in Mass. You are from Lexington??? Ahh, my Colonial America-loving heart is in awe. How cool! Julie is one of my modern faves for sure! Thanks for being here and taking the time to chat! 💙💙

Yay - someone that knows about it! I haven't heard a peep from anyone about that series. Just happened to find because I adore the Guideposts series and there are SO many. This one popped up somewhere when I was researching. So was the next one in Wisconsin or ... I can't remember? I haven't read book #1 yet as my Patreon members and I will start it next week together. Are you going to continue the series?

@@OldeAmericanSpirit I’d love to continue the series. I buy a lot of guideposts and Annie’s Fiction which are similar. The next story is ahead 200 years when they’re in the same town if I’m remembering correctly! I think that whole series is on Kindle Unlimited right now! Only Lyndsey from BFCG talks about guideposts as well. But you’re the only one I have seen talk about this one and it was so good!! Yay!!! I adore your channel🥰

Is there as much sexuality in the Cairo curse and Juliet code as there was in mistletoe countess?
@OldeAmericanSpirit 7 күн бұрын
I read them last year about this time so it's been a bit but I would say, definitely not as much as book one!!/ since that one included the wedding night and these don't. 🤔 I don't remember it being excessive at all in the Juliet Code even though it's was their honeymoon trip - other than flirting and a few innuendos like 'retiring to their room.' Cairo Curse didn't have as much as book 1 either, but I do remember them being pretty flirty a lot and affectionate in public places when they were alone, and maybe one "cozy" time in their room. I'm not super sensitive to that, though, (long as it stays clean and couple is married), so it doesn't stand out in my memory as being excessive. 😊 💢 Anyone else remember these details that can share??? 💢

First off, bravo for including the Bible as a comforting book! I just completed Ecclesiastes and I too, have been praying on which book to read next. I adore Anne of Green Gables as well as the rest of the series. I have to admit though I hate hate hate romance books and I find it quite sad that most Christian books I see reviewed are romance. I'm not hating on anyone who loves that genre, it is just not my thing. If you have any recommendations of Christian fiction that have no romance , I'd love that.
@OldeAmericanSpirit 7 күн бұрын
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I love God’s word so much. Thrilled that you do too!. And Anne is so timeless, isn’t she?! I hear you on the romance. I never thought I would read so many. I thought they were all cheesy and awful but there are some gems out there. I will be sharing a review next week of at least one that wasn’t focused on romance and will now make it my mission to gather a list of Christian fiction with no romance or super light.

Spend quiet time alone and if you can’t pray, just think on Him and His promises. Just listening to worship music to remind you of His goodness. In other words, leaning in to Him and being aware of His sacrifice for us & of His goodness.
