Christian Writers Downunder: My Dark Night of the Soul - Melinda Jensen
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-dark-night-of-soul-melinda-jensen.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Monday, May 11, 2015. My Dark Night of the Soul - Melinda Jensen. I'm no theological scholar but I’ve long been captivated by the writings of sixteenth century mystic, St John of the Cross. His exquisite treatise on the soul’s journey towards union with its Creator draws me in as surely as the moon draws the tides. I disagree. There are. For decades I blamed myself for my lack – for not ‘hearing’ God correctly despite dedication to His Word. I sought pastoral...But don’t gra...

Christian Writers Downunder: The writer's greatest hurdle, REJECTION
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2015/05/dianne-riley-writers-greatest-hurdle.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Thursday, May 21, 2015. The writer's greatest hurdle, REJECTION. The writer's greatest hurdle, REJECTION. How to get over it. It's personal, so it isn't easy. It's also our polished and re-polished gem - who wouldn't love it? But it comes and it's crushing. After waiting all those months (just like the publisher's website advised) no invitation, no letter, no email. No congratulations for presenting a great piece of work! Recently it struck me. We are in good company. In the end, ...

Christian Writers Downunder: TEMPTATION BELONGS in OUR STORIES
http://christianwritersdownunder.blogspot.com/2015/05/temptation-belongs-in-our-stories.html
Cant log in to Blogger? Monday, May 18, 2015. TEMPTATION BELONGS in OUR STORIES. It hits every one of us. From Lucifer wanting to be like the Most High, to Jesus, the Son of God. How to describe it and where does it come from? It has many definitions like; being enticed to do something on the promise of pleasure or gain; the act of being lured to do evil. It is age old and it is powerful. Besides the hook, ' Everything can change in a heartbeat'. I have used this theme in my novel, The Tie That Binds.

Apple Leaf Blog Faith, Family and Fiction: Some Australian book reviews
http://appleleafblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/some-australian-book-reviews.html
Apple Leaf Blog Faith, Family and Fiction. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Some Australian book reviews. I am going to include a review or two on my blog on a regular basis. As material by Australian Christians often remains under-highlighted by shops, this will be my main focus. I've always referred to reviews to help me decide whether or not to buy a particular book and I'm really looking forward to getting started. Today I'll begin with a novel and a book of devotions. STREETS ON A MAP by Dale Harcombe.

Apple Leaf Blog Faith, Family and Fiction. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Ashes under the soles of our feet (Part 1). The Sun of Righteousness will dawn on those who honor my name, healing radiating from its wings. You will be bursting with energy like colts, frisky and frolicking. And you'll tromp on the wicked. They'll be nothing but ashes under your feet on that day." Malachi 4: 2-3, The Message. Hopes and dreams will gurgle down the plughole! What an incredible feeling of release we should feel if this is...

Apple Leaf Blog Faith, Family and Fiction: February 2011
http://appleleafblog.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Apple Leaf Blog Faith, Family and Fiction. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Many bloggers have written posts about prayer and I'm about to have my say too. It seems no wonder that in busy schedules, prayer is often the first thing to be sacrificed in a daily planner. We cannot detect ultrasound waves with our natural senses either. I can remember lying there watching my babies wriggle around in my pregnant belly but I certainly couldn't feel the waves that were pouring through my flesh, allowing the ima...

Apple Leaf Blog Faith, Family and Fiction: January 2011
http://appleleafblog.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Apple Leaf Blog Faith, Family and Fiction. Thursday, January 27, 2011. Is this the stage we've come to? Recently we heard through the media that the current younger generation (and I guess they're talking about Y and Z) is the first generation since Australian settlement that is more illiterate than their parents! That's a concern but when I thought about it, I had to admit that I was not all that surprised for several reasons. Who even needs to be literate in the 21st century? In that case, we may be up...
