Grace is the only hope for any sinner. John MacArthur is a prolific writer. True, much of his written material comes from sermons and series that he has preached and taught. Nevertheless, his writings are many and various. Today I’m starting a new line of review – booklets! I have received many booklets (and pamphlets) over the years that […]

Devoted – A Book Review
Christ,’ she used to say, ‘keeps firmer hold on us than we keep on him’. I have only read two of Tim Challies books. Both have been small, but powerful. In Devoted: Great Men and Their Godly Moms, Challies pairs short biographies with thought-provoking questions and application from the lives of influential but forgotten mothers. Mrs. Challies jumps in […]
Man Wanted in Cheyenne
Man Wanted in Cheyenne is my first book review to go live over at Reedsy. I will be writing shorter and less-detailed reviews there, but hope to also write fuller and more biblically minded reviews here on my blog. In the summary of this book, it is stated that the timeless question answered in Man Wanted in Cheyenne is, “What makes […]
I’m Glad My Mom Died – A Book Review
A pushover is a bad thing to be, but an opinionated pushover is a worse thing to be. A pushover is nice and goes along with it, whatever it is. An opinionated pushover acts nice and goes along with it, but while quietly brooding and resentful. I am an opinionated pushover. I listened to the audio version […]

Books I Finished in 2022
I originally published this list in January of this year; however, my system of dates, book read, and star rating didn’t line up and was unreadable! My blogging skills are nowhere near legendary, so I now present to you the reformatted version of my reading list with only the month listed for each book I read. 🙂 How many of […]
The End of Anxiety – A Book Review
God has a purpose for all things in our lives, even anxiety. If the chief end of man is to glorify God, then we can trust that our anxiety is doing something for our good and God’s glory. Anxiety has become a household term, a self-diagnosed disease and a permanent fixture of life in American society. It is heart-breaking […]
Do More Better – A Book Review
Time management has become a necessary skill in our fast-paced world. Every day seems to fill up faster than the last. Yet, underneath the ever-increasing pace of life, the essentials of food preparation, sleep, personal Bible study and prayer, household chores, and personal hygiene have not diminished. If anything, specific portions of our daily habits, such as prayer and Scripture […]
Jane of Austin – A Book Review
I’m on a mission. Actually I’m on a mission now for the second year in a row. It’s simple, truly: read all the books I already own. But let me tell you about the rabbit trails . . . I’m just kidding. We don’t have time for that. But let’s just say, I have a new rule about going to […]
The Bookshop of Yesterdays – A Book Review
I’m unimpressed and disappointed. While I considered writing this as a Mini-View instead of a full review, I decided this book warranted a full discussion. We’ll get into the whys below (yes, there is a plurality of reasons unfortunately), but I can summarize by saying it is an emphatic no to the question of whether you should read this book. Sad […]
