Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas
Even though there was no secret how his story would end, I still cried at the end of Eric Metaxas's book, Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy. While this book is a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in that it follows his life, it is also a history of Nazi Germany...
How To Fall in Love with God’s Word
This post was first published in October of 2021 on the Living with Less Blog Loving God's Word series. I remember the moment very clearly. I was driving home from our new business feeling so defeated. Our tax guy had just given us the bad news: We would have to pay...
Guardrails: Christian Liberty vs. Legalism
What is legalism? When is it appropriate to claim Christian liberty? How do we live by the Word but not become legalistic?
The Christian and Civil Disobedience
There is so much division in the world right now it is hard for Christians to know if it is time for civil disobedience.
My 2022 Word of the Year
Do you choose a word for your year? I began choosing a word for my year about 5 or 6 years ago. Before that, I never really understood the point. And, honestly, I don’t think it is the most important thing I can do as I prepare for a new year even now. But for the...
Memorize Scripture: Why and How
There are many excuses not to memorize Scripture, but understanding why it’s important and how to do it can help.
Catechism: You’re Not Too Old
I was not catechized as a kid. I don’t know if it is because catechism was a foreign concept to my parents, or if it was because I grew up in a Roman Catholic country, where catholicism is engrained in the culture, and there is a lot of repetition with very little...
Raise Lions, Not Sheep
There is a huge difference between breaking a rule because you don't like the rule and breaking a rule because the rule is wrong, based on lies or fear, or harmful physically, mentally, or emotionally. And teaching your kids to discern the difference is the epitome of...
Live Not by Lies by Rod Dreher
Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher is a great summary of where America is politically, and roadmap for where she is headed. It also provides great encouragement for Christians who are concerned about holding on to their faith in the...
Teaching Others To Defend Christianity by Carolyn Sterling
Teaching Others To Defend Christianity by Carolyn Sterling is a fantastic read. It is a bit more academic than other apologetics books I've read, but that is because Sterling takes you through arguments that read like a science book. She explains things like blood...
Them before Us by Katy Faust and Stacy Manning
Them Before Us by Katy Faust & Stacy Manning is incredibly eye-opening and convicting. This book challenged me to look at all reproduction through the rights of the child instead of the desires of the adults. It covers everything from divorce to same-sex parents...
White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo
Disclaimer: I believe there is only one race—the human race. Every time I use the terms “white” or “black” to describe people in this post, I am speaking from DiAngelo’s point of view, not mine. While she claims race is a social construct, she continually refers to...
Christianity and Wokeness by Owen Strachan
Owen Strachan’s new book, Christianity and Wokeness, should be on every Christian’s “to read” list. From the foreword to the final chapter, the book keeps the focus on God’s Word as the ultimate authority. Strachan delves into the progress “wokeness” is making not...
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
I don't typically review the fiction I read, but since this is a classic, I thought I'd share my thoughts. The storyline of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë was excellent. Although I remember watching the movie at some point in my life, so I knew some of the climactic...
Mama Bear Apologetics by Hillary Morgan Ferrer
Mama Bear Apologetics by Hillary Morgan Ferrer is one of the most important books I have read in a long time! I'll admit that I've known about it for a while, but I assumed it was written for moms of kids younger than mine. I was wrong! The fact is you don't even have...
Let’s Connect!
Hi! I’m Kelli!
I teach women to study the Bible on their own so they don’t have to depend on someone else to tell them what it means. Then we apply what we’ve learned, being faithful to walk as Scripture instructs us.
