Does this year just keep going faster and faster? I mean Summer is almost over!!!! I feel like time should just stop for a few days and let me enjoy the moment. Anyways…..this month the blog had a major overhaul getting a new look, a new web address, and some new features 🙂 Let’s take a look back on July.
Favorite July Read
In the Field of Grace by Tessa Afshar
I personally love the story of Ruth in the Bible. It is one of my favorites. This retelling of Ruth is beautifully written and infuses the short Biblical story with a sweet overlay, adding a back story for both Ruth and Boaz. Yes I know that it fictionalizes the story some, but it does it very well and doesn’t take away from the Biblical applications. Rather I believe it adds to it, making the account of Ruth that much more memorable. If you enjoy historical fiction and romance, I highly recommend you check this one out. It is such an amazingly sweet story that I just couldn’t get enough of!
Favorite Quote from July
