From Measuring Up to Pouring Out

From Measuring Up to Pouring Out Shannon Popkin leads women away from a life of comparison toward a mind-set of serving I wish I were tall like her. If only my kids got along the way her kids do. Why does she always seem to have it all together? Women compare themselves constantly. On social media, in their neighborhood, at church, at work, even in the school drop-off lane, they glance sideways and ask, “How do I measure up?” Behind all this comparison is an enemy gaining tactical advantage. In her new Bible study, Comparison Girl: Lessons from Jesus on Me-Free Living in a Measure-Up World ( Kregel Publications/May 19, 2020/ISBN: 9780825446214/$16.99), author and speaker Shannon Popkin invites women to leave measure-up comparison behind and connect with those around them by choosing Jesus’s me-free way of living. It’s a real chance to break free from the shackles of comparison. Popkin confesses her own struggle

Regency History 101 with Erica Vetsch

Image
  Part 1 of an Interview with Erica Vetsch, Author of The Lost Lieutenant Regency fiction is popular among many readers, but for those new to the genre or unfamiliar with British history, we have author Erica Vetsch here to answer our questions. Vetsch’s new release, The Lost Lieutenant (Kregel Publications) is the first in her Serendipity & Secrets series set in Regency England. She shares what drew her to the time period and why she is excited for her new series. In this interview, Vetsch also shares how the characters’ faith plays into the story and more of what is to come in the series. Q: Up until now, many of your books have been historical releases but set in the American West. Why the move to England for the new series? If there is one thing my family and friends know about me, it is that I always want to be learning and researching new historical topics. Having written and researched so many books set in the American West, I found myself feeling as

Once You Find It, There’s No Escaping the Truth

Once You Find It, There’s No Escaping the Truth Small-town pastor John Cross can’t seem to keep himself out of danger All journalist Christine Lewis wants is the truth. There’s always more to the story, and she can’t rest until she uncovers it. All pastor John Cross wants is to avoid the truth. Given his prior life, he thinks hiding the truth can protect those he cares about. A journalist out for the truth and a pastor avoiding it sounds somewhat backward, but that’s where Christine and John find themselves in Andrew Huff’s Cross Shadow (Kregel Publications/May 26, 2020/ISBN: 9780825446450/$15.99), the second installment of the Shepherd Suspense series. John and Christine met in the pages of A Cross to Kill when John, a former CIA agent turned evangelical pastor, was called back in on a mission to rescue Christine, who had been captured and was set for execution in Jordan. After John disappeared as quickly as he appea
