Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Recommended Read - Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Non-fiction. Published, 2008. Our entire church family was encouraged to read Crazy Love. During the season of Lent.

You’ll be able to find me at a new blog called. About a year ago as a place for sharing daily devotionals, but I stopped developing the site when I began publishing.

Solveig's Insights: Recommended Read - Exposure by Brandilyn Collins

Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Recommended Read - Exposure by Brandilyn Collins. Fiction, 268 pages.
