My Book Review of Mama Bear Apologetics
Two things have connected my husband and I since day one of knowing each other. Books and Christian apologetics. While repainting a room in our basement, we listened to Frank Turek’s Cross Examined podcast. (Definitely something you should look into if you like podcasts!) In this particular episode, Mr. Turek was interviewing Hillary Morgan Ferrer. She was sharing about her new book called Mama Bear Apologetics™: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies. From the second I heard the title, I admit that I wanted that book! Two days later, I was opening an Amazon box expecting to see the usual supplies that my husband orders for our household…

Exciting Free Thanksgiving Lessons You Can Use This Year!
For the past several years, my husband and I have followed the ministry of Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis pretty closely. For our last big trip before we became parents, we even went to visit the Creation Museum in Kentucky. Without fail, we have been pleasantly surprised by how well the Answers In Genesis team does in providing quality material. Of course, there will always be little things that we probably don’t see eye-to-eye on. Overall, we have found the whole organization to be a breath of refreshing air in today’s anti-Christian culture. *This post contains affiliate links.

Current Reads: My Book Review of Martin Luther By Eric Metaxas
In all honesty, I could NOT be more excited when I heard that Eric Metaxas was writing yet another biography. Eric Metaxas’s books include Amazing Grace (biography of William Wilberforce), Seven Men (short biographies of men who have changed the world), and most of all his biography,Bonhoeffer. I will freely admit that I am a bit of a biography junkie. Personally, I love delving into the stories and histories of famous people from the past-especially those of the Christian faith. Let’s just say that I approached Eric Metaxas’s latest biography with HUGE expectations. 🙂 *This post contains affiliate links to help keep the ministry of Ambitions for Christ in operation. You…

Current Reads-God’s Crime Scene for Kids
Does anyone else get excited about teaching their kids cool new things about God and the Bible? Like not just normal excited but nerdy, way too crazy excited so you read ahead even if it will be several years down the road? Nope. Just me. Good. Glad to know I am insane. 🙂 Okay, in full disclosure, I received this book as free gift from the author and publisher in exchange for a review. For several years, I have followed J. Warner Wallace on Facebook and his books have been on my Goodreads To Read list for at least the past six years now but I have never actually read…

Six Books That Will Train You How To Defend Your Christian Faith
My mom loves to call me with computer-related questions. She assumes that because I am under 30 I will automatically know all things computer related. Little does she realize that I have a very small grasp on technology, nor do I know how to diagnose any computer issues via a quick description on the phone. Most of the time when she does call me, I end up googling her exact words in hopes that something will magically pop up and help me. So far, that method has not worked. After calling me, my mom’s next step is calling the local tech wizard repair man. The guy can fix computers…

Current Reads-The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel
As Christians, can we defend our faith from the world’s critiques? Are there too many objections to our faith to make it a valid belief system? In his book The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel goes on a journalistic investigation to determine answers to eight of the biggest objections to the Christian faith. A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a copy of this book at a garage sale. I really enjoyed The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel and we own the The Case for Christ Study Bible. Thus, when I saw another book by Lee Strobel, I knew I wanted to read it too! Book Overview Christians face…

Current Reads-You Lost Me
Six kids regularly attended Sunday School with me at our small country church. Of those six, I am the only one who still attends church. We host a Vacation Bible School each year to reach out to kids within the community. Our average number of attendees has been about 60 kids. Of those who have regularly attended each VBS program when they were of the age to, only about 5 still attend a church regularly. There are at least 15 solid, Bible-believing, active churches within our county that has a population of over 7,000 people. (I live in a very rural area of America-I know!) Each of these churches has similar…
