Compared to artists such as Jose Gonzalez, Jack Johnson, Feist and Death Cab For Cutie, her new album “Everything Will Be Alright” will be out November 15, 2011 on her own label Kli Records.

Triple Dog Dare Devotional by Jeremy V. Jones
Boys want action. They don't want to sit around and talk—that's for grown-ups and girls. They engage life and relationships by doing something: skateboarding, playing games or re-creating favorite movie scenes. So why should faith be any different? That's why Jeremy V. Jones created Triple Dog Dare: One Year of Dynamic Devotions for Boys—to provide the action boys need in order to grow their faith.

Hundreds of lives depend on Jill's willingness to warn her small, oceanside town in Nova Scotia of a nameless, looming disaster. But doing so could cost…

2nd in a Series 2011 Challenge
Again as I said for the 1st in a Series Challenge… I am not really sure what happened, but at the beginning of this year I missed out on signing up for challenges, and I have to admit that I have missed them this year. As well as the community that comes with the participation. I guess it was because I was in the first trimester of pregnancy with OrangeBlossom. Either way, I am completely late, but willing to participate now… Guidelines for the 2nds Challenge 2011 1. Anyone can join. You don’t need a blog to participate. If you’re not a blogger, leave your information in the comments.…

Christian Historical Fiction Reading Challenge 2011
So this year has been a bust. I admit it. We went from being on Blogger, to having an incredible and active Ning. To having a BuddyPress on WordPress and now to a side page of Creative Madness Mama located at www.ChristianHistoricalFiction.com. Now it’s true that we do have a forum there, as well as a forum in the goodreads group. There is a book trailers page and everything, but it’s just no where near as active as the Ning. Moving around just lost people and I hate that. I hope in the future we can get a community atmosphere back! Now… the challenge is to have read 24 books…
