Rhythms of Grace by Marilynn Griffith
… says Claudia Mair Burney,
Author of Wounded: A Love Story, Exorsistah and Zora and Nicky
Grace Okoye was a promising young dancer when her career was cut short by a brutal assault that left her scarred for life. Twenty years later, when her past gets in the way of her happiness, she heeds the invitation of her dance instructor and returns home to help hurting children and rediscover the rhythms of grace. What she doesn’t expect is to meet a man who already seems to know her beat. But for all they share in common, the biggest thing in Grace’s life is noticeably absent in his–faith. She’s finally found the love of her life, but can she choose between him and God? Real, raw emotion and the promise of redemption run through this soulful new book from Marilynn Griffith.

Thank God for the New Year
by Cheryl Lacey Donovan
Well, it’s that time of year again. Everyone is making resolutions and setting goals for the new year. But as Christians this is a time of reflection. I time to renew our spirit and renew our faith in God. It’s an opportinity to remind ourselves of the fact that even though we may have failed and even though we may not have achieved all the goals we set on last year. God still loves and cares for us. Because we know and love God, we can be assured that we don’t have to live in guilt and condemnation. We can freely release our past and move into our future.
Query Holiday Special from Firebrand Literary Agency
Posted on December 27, 2008
Filed Under Writing Opportunities | Leave a Comment
Beginning on December 15 and ending on January 15, writers have the opportunity to submit their first chapter instead of a query to the Firebrand Literary Agency.
They say on their blog.
“The ability to write an amazing first chapter is a much more important skill, as a novelist, than the ability to write a good query letter. So why even bother with a query?
That’s why we’re announcing the first annual FIREBRAND QUERY HOLIDAY—to support authors who want to spend their time and energy perfecting their manuscripts and not just polishing their sales skills.”
