Inspiration from Acts


There is so much encouragement and inspiration found in the book of Acts. These verses are some that teach us to be brave and bold in our faith no matter what happens to us.

The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Acts 5:41

"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said.
Acts 14:22b

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
Acts 18:9


However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace.
Acts 20:24

A Few Amazing (not your average read) Christian Fiction Books I Read Recently


These are a few of the books that I have read recently and loved. They aren't your average reads, and that is what made me enjoy them so much.

A Time To Stand by Robert Whitlow
This book speaks on an important issue. It talks about racism. It focuses on a police officer who shot an unarmed teen, and it gets you to see things from every side. A very interesting read. So much different and deeper than most fiction.

A Dangerous Legacy by Elizabeth Camden
I love Elizabeth Camden's style of writing. She creates characters that are funny and have heart. I am not always a fan of historical fiction, but when it comes to her books I can't get enough of them. I love all of the facts that she mixes into the story, helping the reader to learn about the era they are reading about. This book had so much action, character, and family drama, and I loved every bit of it.

If I live by Terri Blackstock
If you love suspense books, then this is one that you need to check out. It is the third in a series so you should start with the others first, but even if you don't, it is still a great read. I enjoyed the fast-paced action and how the story kept going with twists and turns all the way to the end!
