I signed my most recent book,  Ruth, Mother of Kings (Whitaker House)   and Claudia, Wife of Pontius Pilate, (Revell), at The Rock Church bookstore, The Rockpile, on Sunday, October 6th for all 5 services.  I am also excited about a radio interview on Thursday, October 10th from 4-5 p.m. The show is called : “Aging Outside the Box”. Anyone can tune in to www.agingoutsidethebox.net   Also, Whitaker House has set up a blog tour for Ruth for October.  I have an article on Halloween in The Christian Examiner, and Lori Arnold did an e-interview and feature article on me. Very exciting times!

My newest book, Note Alone, Trusting God To Help You Raise Godly Kids In A Spiritually Mismatched Home will release on October 7, 2013. This book has been endorsed by Jim Daly, Focus on the Family President as well as many others. I’m completely humbled that God has allowed us to share the hope we have for raising children in today’s complex culture and within a home where Dad doesn’t believe in Christ. This book is dear to my heart. Part of this book includes a letter that God has written to all mothers. Here is the link: http://mismatchedandthriving.com/beloved-mother/
