Friday Reads

Guarded by the Hero and Winsome Conviction book covers on blue floral background

It's Friday!

I'm thankful that with daylight saving time, we can fall back an hour, although I wonder if I'll just use that to stay up late and read 😊

I'm also looking forward to revisiting the town of Freedom, Colorado as it's been a while since I've spent time with the Heroes of Freedom Ridge!

Book Synopsis Julie Canlis is an award-winning author who has turned her attention to the ordinary. With the surge of books and blogs celebrating the ordinary, she lays a theological foundation for this celebration based upon the Father's blessing of ordinary life, the Son's incarnation in ordinary life, and the Spirit's re-creation of ordinary life. First, turning her attention to American revivalist roots, she explores how this has seeped into evangelicalism's DNA, pushing ordinary life in Christ to the margins.
