MORE TO LIFE THAN ROMANCE? REALLY?

By Lillian Duncan There’s more to life than romance. An odd statement coming from someone who writes romantic suspense novels, but the truth is the truth. We can’t survive on romance alone.

Dream Come True!

By Jill Elizabeth Nelson “If God can bring an awesome dream to pass for this nobody-in-particular from nowhere special, He can do the same for you.” This is what I tell people at my speaking engagements.

God Is Love
