For the last week in March, let's welcome Jill Kemerer here to share a story of grace. The story she chose surprised me, because a suspense story usually wouldn't be on the top of my list of books that pops up when I think of grace, but grace is a theme that just oozes from this story. . .   " Grace is a prevalent theme in Jessica R.

For this second Monday in March, we welcome Janet Ferguson . " My life has been messy and broken in the past, sometimes due to my own sin and sometimes due to the sins of others. Yet God has rained down grace after grace upon me. What am I left to do but to return that grace to others in the midst of their brokenness? That’s why I was thrilled when I finished reading Kara Isaac’s romantic comedy Can’t Help Falling . The humor and wit and banter are delightful. Plus the hero, Peter, and heroine, Emelia, are Narnia lovers! There are numerous C.S. Lewis references to adore. Including a character in a wardrobe or two!
