I’ve been a little quieter here for some time, but for good reason. And I’m *thrilled* to now be able to share one of those reasons:

A new book is coming this November!

Keeper: Becoming Faithful Guardians of What God has Entrusted to Us

The seeds of this book were first planted many years ago as I began grasping just how important it is for women to stand upon the unshakeable Word of God in the shifting and sinking sands of our time. It is my earnest prayer that it will encourage and strengthen my sisters in the Lord to guard what has been entrusted to us by His grace.

More info soon to come!

What should the response of Christian mothers be to the state of our country and of our world today?

It should be this:
To determine more than ever, by God’s grace, to faithfully and diligently guard our children from what is evil, and teach them what is good. To raise another generation in the fear and admonition of the Lord, prepared to go into the world proclaiming the goodness of good and holding fast to what is true.

To day after day, moment after moment, resolve to order our lives and our homes for the glory of God. To carefully watch the influences over our own heart and mind, having the self control to cut off the enticing voices of false doctrine. To humbly and boldly stand upon the Word of God.

To know that what God wants to accomplish in and through the home and family is of incredible importance. To not believe the lies that putting priority on home and family is of lesser value. To believe that obedience to the Lord is blessed.

Fellow Christian moms: we have a job to do. A commission from the Most High. Let’s set ourselves to do it with all our hearts.

My book Keeper is divided into three parts. Part 1 is what we’re called to keep. Part 2 is what we’re to keep out. Part 3 is the tools of our keeping.

Part 2 was definitely the heaviest section to write, and maybe most particularly burdening was the chapter on Idols. We cannot mess around with making anything in our lives a god. The consequences for ourselves and those we’re supposed to protect can be dire.

My book Keeper was written from a deep burden to see women grounded in God’s Word, standing firmly and joyfully upon Him in the winds and waves of culture and false doctrine. I’ve watched women being swept again and again into ideas that were unmoored from the truth of Scripture, bringing such sad consequences in the name of freedom.

I’m more convinced than ever of the need for the message of this book; for women to become faithful guardians themselves, their children, and their homes.

By His grace, we can.

“They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They
sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and
daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and
the land was polluted with blood.”
Psalm 106:36-38

Our land is given over to idolatry. To see women rejoicing over the ability to murder their children chills me to the bone.
It is truly a snare. What blindness.

I want to weep.
