Looking for more Lutheran authors? Me, too, as always! 🙂 So today I’ll point to Shelley Shephard Gray, who writes about “regular, likeable people in extraordinary situations who just happen to be Amish.”
She is a prolific author so be ready to feed your Amish appetite if you’ve got one!
Amish lit certainly has a big following! Woo hoo for another living Lutheran author!

It’s not something I respect about myself, ha, so along with nearly half a dozen other books, I started reading Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. Like so many in this world, I need help getting things done!!!

Julie Stiegemeyer is, by all accounts, someone I should have met. Maybe I have. She even looks familiar! Do you ever feel that way? I think we even lived in the same city for a spell! Anyway, Julie Stiegemeyer has long been an author my friends have turned to for children’s books (high praise in itself), so today I’ll review When Someone Dies Find Comfort in Jesus.

But I’ve decided to cut it short. (Too many drafts too close to the deadline! ;)) Maybe I can write about it again, more generally, later. Continue reading →
