Years ago, I read in Exodus about how God provided manna for His people each day. One morning soon after, I was saying the Lord's prayer with my children.

I feel God wants to give us spiritual manna every single day.

A heartwarming small-town romance about finding love in unexpected places. The Rustic Spoon is my family’s legacy, and I’m watching it slip away.

He’s back in Birch Springs scouting locations for his own restaurant, and he has his eye on my building. I’d rather see the diner burn to the ground than sell it to him. Just as I’m about to lose everything, Henry offers an unexpected lifeline: a business ...

But she’s never stopped wishing for a family of her own. So when a DNA test reveals a half-sister living just two hours away, Harper is both hopeful and nervous.

Story
God's offer of eternal life through his work on the cross remains the greatest gift the world has known. But contrary to its importance, Holy Week always seems to pass by quickly and be associated with habitual practices that elicit little reflection. As a result, it can be challenging for Christians to establish routines for meditation on Christ's life, death, and resurrection.
