The Breakup Project and The Christian Mind book covers on blue floral background

What a week! I got to wrap up a few work projects, and work on something special for 2024 with some amazing fellow readers. Is anyone else in disbelief that this year ends in just two weeks?!

This week, I hope to slow down and enjoy the following titles:

📘 Christian fiction: The Breakup Project by Carolyn Miller
📗 Christian non-fiction: The Christian Mind by Harry Blamires

I'm looking forward to the second half of Advent and hope that you are as well!
