As a parent, I’m sure you realize the importance of what your child reads. As a child, my mother was very careful about our reading material. While I didn’t appreciate it at the time, I am thankful now. What a child, reads and perceives is vital to the molding and forming of his character. A wise parent will censor their child’s reading material, but sometimes it’s hard. A distant cousin of mine, a young lady with a similar upbringing as […]
Food for Thought ~ Reading List

I’m a firm believer in the fact that what goes in, also comes out. I feel like what we read and watch affects our entire mindset and world-view. My mother worked hard to provide me with good wholesome books that were age appropriate for me. They went a long ways towards shaping me into the woman I now am.I As a young adult, I had far more freedom in choosing the books I read, and sad to say I didn’t […]

Today I wanted to show you my simple and cheap gift wrap. We have used the funnies from the Sunday comics to wrap birthday presents for years. But the comics aren’t exactly classy enough for some occasions. Sometime last year I came upon a great idea for baby shower gifts and for weddings too. It was as simple as tissue paper and ribbons. Because I’m a (sometimes) crafter, ribbons are found in plenty around our house. As well, I buy […]
Purity: Restoring what was Lost
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Purity. It’s such a beautiful gift that we as women are given. A gift that many young (and older) women lose or throw away. It’s one of those things which seems like they have lost forever. Many women who are even now happily married face conflict and guilt over the purity they lost, over the mistakes they’ve made and it’s seems like the past is always right there.

After my posts on Good Girl Books and Good Boy Books, I had a couple requests for Good Teen Books. I have to admit, getting together a list of good teen books wasn’t easy. A. it’s been some time since I was a teenage girl, and B. I have never been a teenage boy! 😛 But after careful consideration, a good study of my bookcase, and remembering books my mom bought for my brothers; as well as generally recognizing some […]

With the help of my 11-year-old bother, I have a list of best books for boys. After I wrote my post on good books for girls, I had requests for good boy books as well.

Have you have you ever realized that you can forgive others easily, but you had to learn to forgive yourself? One of the things that I love about blogging, is how many wonderful and talented Christian women I have met. One of those women would be Leslie from Be Simply Better. A couple of weeks ago, she made the exciting announcement that her 3rd book was finished and she would be launching it soon. She asked if there were any […]

I was recently contacted by a friend on Facebook who is an author. She asked me if I was interested in reading and reviewing her newest book “Ransomed”. Because I had already read “Forsaken” also written by her, I quickly responded that I would love to review “Ransomed” for her. I must admit I stayed up a bit late twice while reading Ransomed. While the writing voice is the same as in Forsaken, the story lines couldn’t be more different. […]

In the last book, Naomi has kept hidden her true heritage. She is a Jew, and because of persecution in Spain (Spanish […]

Book Review: Vanished. By Barbara Derksen
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Vanished by Barbara Derksen has been my latest read and I was very sorry to see the last page. “Vanished” is definitely a suspense novel in my book. From the very first page, where a young family is forced to leave their little home and go with kidnappers at gun point, I was hooked. Brian Strait and Andrea Wilton both arrive at their friend’s house around the same time, and are very concerned at the disheveled look of the ordinarily […]
