Actually, our house served as home base during their research trip for Stephen and Janet’s contemporary …
Before I began writing historical novels–The Sinclair Sisters of Cripple Creek–for WaterBrook Press, I was writing children’s books for Zonderkidz. Featuring thirty-one women from both the Old and New Testaments—including Esther, Leah, Rhoda, Mary, Sarah, Ruth, Martha, Anna, and Elizabeth—each devotional centers around the woman’s faith-journey and includes a scripture verse, prayer, suggestions for further reading, and even an item called …
Howdy, and welcome back to Bob’s Corner! Today, I thought we’d talk about another type of ore removal.
