After taking one month off, I’m back with another Author of the Month post! This month’s pick: the incredibly sweet and talented Jenna Van Mourik! Jenna was one of the first people I followed on #Bookstagram and let me tell you, she is GOALS! She does it all–she writes, she blogs, she has an awesome …
Review: Jerusalem’s Daughter by Jenna Van Mourik
Biblical Fiction has become my favorite sub-genre of Christian Fiction, and I’m always happy when I find a new BibFic author to love. When I saw that one of my favorite Bookstagrammers, Jenna Van Mourik, had a book coming out, I eagerly added it to my TBR. While I knew nothing about Jenna’s writing abilities, …
Review: Harvest of Gold by Tessa Afshar
I have been eagerly anticipating being able to read Harvest of Gold since the moment I finished book one in this duology, Harvest of Rubies. I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed–but of course, Tessa never disappoints with her beautiful, emotional storytelling! A hidden message, treachery, opposition, and a God-given success will lead to an …
My Top 12 (ish) Christian Fiction Reads of 2020
2020 is over!! Can I get a “hallelujah”?! Seriously though, I’ve never been so happy to bid a year farewell! BUT not everything about this year has been terrible. Several good things did happen this year–not the least of which being the release of my debut novel, The Peasant Queen! I also crushed my reading …
Review: To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette
The queen of Biblical Fiction still reigns supreme! To Dwell Among Cedars is a fascinating look at a rather obscure portion of the Samuel-era of the Bible and the ancient Philistine culture. Connilyn has a way of taking events from the Bible, whether well-known or barely known, and making them come to vivid life. This …

Review: The Shepherd’s Wife by Angela Hunt
The Shepherd’s Wife was a book whose beauty and impact did not fully hit me until after I had read the last page. Yeshua of Nazareth has two sisters: Damaris, married to a wealthy merchant’s son, and Pheodora, married to a simple shepherd from Bethlehem. When Pheodora’s husband suffers an unexpected reversal of fortune and …
Author of the Month: Mesu Andrews
If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that Biblical fiction is my favorite subgenre of Christian fiction. To be honest, I avoided the genre for a while, but once I finally gave it a try, I instantly came to appreciate its power. I love how Biblical fiction can bring the Bible …
Review: Pearl in the Sand by Tessa Afshar (10th Anniversary Edition!)
There are some books that, when you read the last page, you think, “Oh, that was good. Now, what do I want to read next?” And then there are other books that you just sit back and savor the final words of, and drink in the beauty of the story for a while before you …
