Something to think about- This is Our Time:Everyday Myths of the gospel



I enjoyed this book.   Mr.  Trevin Wax discusses in the  first chapter how young millennial generation born between 1981-1996.  are attached to their cell phones. They post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. The more likes, comments, and views seems to be the focus of their self-worth.  They place all of their time, energy, on what others  think of them, and not on just being young.  He points out that technology is not a bad thing if it is not used in excess, but rather a tool. For example, posting family pictures, encouraging posts, and positive examples of Biblical views.   He concludes the book by saying America should get back to the good old days. The gospel centered days.

Colleen Coble Interview

 Megan Jones  February 13th, 2023  Colleen Coble Interview  1.  Why did you want to write suspense? "I appreciate it when all the secrets of the past come back to haunt characters. I love the puzzle of a murder mystery and the trill of a heroine in danger. Annie is more than capable of becoming the ultimate overcoming heroine." 2. What inspired to want to write? "My writing process always starts with setting- weird I know. But I've found researching the setting springboards me to plot points and character details. I knew I wanted to set the series in Michigan's Upper Peninsula My readers are passionate about the Rock Harbor series so I wanted to have,  Annie  a part of that community.
