Responding to Our Sin

Julianne Atkinson dives into how we can respond to our sin.

  • My favorite writer in the Bible is the Apostle Paul. If Paul was a murderer and God STILL used him on the scale he did, he can use me despite my sins and failures. If Paul wrestled deeply in sin struggles and God STILL loved him, he can love me too. And after all of that, if Paul can fervently love Jesus with his mind and heart, pointing to him in what he says and does, I want to do that too.

Princess Academy

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale is an authentic adventure about friendship, community, success, family, and strength. In an Esther-like premise, a far-off prince has decided to select his future bride from a town of rugged miners, farmers, and mountain girls. The Princess Academy is founded to prepare these girls for their potential future life, but the initial hostility between village and kingdom blossoms into a closeness that changes both for the better. I love this book because of its great relatable characters, themes of friendship and community, and its twist on a common trope.

Ember Falls

For this week’s Story Warren Publishing highlight, let’s talk Ember Falls! This exciting sequel to The Green Ember returns to beloved characters Heather, Picket, Smalls, and Emma as they continue their battle to fight evil wolves and find their family. This book will have you on the edge of your seat until the end! My favorite thing about this story continuation is how beloved these characters become and how deeply we readers become attached to them. Continue your journey through Natalia with this epic tale!
