  This year I've been hosting guest Christian authors to introduce you to the world of Christian fiction that may be broader than you ever imagined! Sarah is a friend through Christian Mommy Writers and we will be hosting a table together at the Thrive North Carolina Homeschool Conference next month! If you live near Winston Salem you should check it out here . Read the interview below to find out more about Sarah: 1. Tell us a bit about yourself! Where you’re from, your family, hobbies, favorite things—anything fun you’d like to share!  I’m a part-Cajun who was born in Alaska but grew up in the heart of Acadiana in Louisiana. I’ve lived among the Virginia mountains for more than 20 years with my husband and kids. By day, I homeschool, run a full-time content marketing freelance business, keep house, care for my family, and have mini adventures. We love a good waterfall, mountain view, or meandering wood walk. In stolen hours, I write novels about Jesus and dragons. 2. When di...

The thread from page one is that God loves you so much that He sent Jesus, fully God and fully man, to suffer and die for you. Nothing you have done is too great to be covered by His death. You can live in the freedom he offers now. I would love to share more. You can find the basics on my gospel page at KimGriffin.org. Every novel I write points to these truths and shows people learning how Christ meets them in their brokenness. If you aren't already a Christian, I hope you will look closely at Him. You can get a free gospel of John study and read about how to become a Christian here . John 3:16 ESV - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." You can find all of my books (both Christian fiction with romance and devotionals)  here . This blog is brought to you by Kim Griffin, author of Christian fictio...

I recently had a guest blogger/author, Carrie Cotten. She's a good friend and I can't recommend her books enough. The Huntress series is absolutely wonderful. To start the series, begin with The Huntress here . Read the blog post here . Kim Griffin's review: The Songbird by Carrie Cotten is beautifully written medieval Christian fiction story in a series that gets better with each book as I meet more characters and see old ones. Carrie has crafted another story that beautifully weaves together rich detail, powerful faith journeys, and a tender romance.  it centers on Tove, a young woman recently widowed and stranded far from home, and Gerritt, a notorious pirate against a backdrop of Vikings, more pirates, and the constant threat of battles. The medieval world feels vivid and dangerous. In this world faith isn't just professed but tested through real persecution. What makes this book exceptional is how Cotten handles the spiritual transformations. Gerritt's rede...
