Author: Karen Westbrook Moderow

Genre: Bible Study

Release Date: September 6, 2025

Are you disappointed with life?

The Bible Companion Book 7 helps you reconcile the realities of life with the promises of God. A simple one-chapter-a-day format lets you engage with Scriptures without the pressure of schedules, homework, or heavy reading loads. Short daily readings and thought-provoking questions connect your story to God’s Word. For personal, group, or homeschool Bible study.

In the Books of Wisdom, God speaks to us in poetry—the language of the heart. These books reveal a God concerned not only about our minds and bodies, but also our emotions. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs bridge the gap between life as we hoped it would be and life as it is. If you struggle with your life’s circumstances, The Bible Companion Book 7 will help you find guidance, comfort, and strength in the poetry of men and women who searched for God in the dark and found Him.

The Promise Box

My mother had an intricately carved wooden box approximately 4” x 3” that was passed down to her by her mother. It was called a Promise Box and held 150 small cards in assorted colors. One side had a Scripture verse, the other a prayer. Most of the verses came from Proverbs.

The Promise Box was always kept in place we passed many times a day. A place where we’d be sure to see it and be enticed to pull a card. I’d lift the lid and breathe in the musty smell of years gone by then choose a card, eager to see what message from God awaited me. The limp cards with their faded colors told me I wasn’t the first.

My mother’s Promise Box had belonged to her mother. When my mother-in-law died, I received the Promise Box that had belonged to her grandmother. By then the metal box engraved with an intricate family scene had seen better days. The hinges had broken apart. The once shiny box had darkened to near black. But I couldn’t part with it. It had to be more than 150 years old. I couldn’t help but wonder how many times those who owned it reached for a word from the Lord to get them through their day.

Most had lost children. They depended on God for daily bread literally as the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl took their family members and livelihoods. As an adult, I understood that we aren’t to treat the promises of God like fortune cookies we hope will bring us good luck. A daily visit to the Promise Box doesn’t substitute for time spent with God in prayer and His Word but it has value. The Promise Box reminds us that God is not only in the church, He is in our homes. He wants us to see Him, to reach for Him, and rely on His promises. If a little box nudges us to look to Him with expectation., then it is not only a gift we should treasure, but a treasure we should pass on.

MY REVIEW 

This series of Bible Studies has been so encouraging. If you haven’t started one, I would highly recommend this series from the author. I really enjoyed going deeper into His Word.   I like how the author explains that , “ while most of the Bible contains clear instruction, God also inspired men to write Scripture in ways that make us wonder.”  

The study is set up with  scriptures as well as questions that  can help apply what you studied. Wisdom is  a key word as you begin this study. As the scripture tells us, “wisdom comes from God.” I like how this study also shared Biblical figures to enhance it. Key scriptures focus on God and how wisdom gives us insight and protects us. It can be easy to stray if we don’t keep our mind and heart guarded. 

As you enter your journey the author takes each scripture from these Books of the Bible and shares insight that  helps readers understand what the Word is saying. This study is designed to go at your own pace as the Word comes to life. This would be an excellent tool to use in a group setting or by yourself. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Beginnings….

Some might wonder why I chose to start a prayer blog entitled, JourneyWomanPrayers. Well, I guess you could say I fell off a cliff. Not literally, but sometimes the tumult of these past few years has felt like a wild freefall—a crazy journey—and the world still feels that way!

As I see ongoing global chaos, violence, fear, and loneliness, my prayer life has become more raw and real than ever before. I no longer come to the foot of the cross with a list; I come with a soul ready to listen. Since sometimes it’s hard to know truth from lies in our world, I’m hungrier than ever for God’s truth. As I watch the culture collapse, social media explode, and our nation divide, the need becomes greater in me for those quiet waters and green pastures—and those daily visits with Jesus. He will lead me to what is tranquil, genuine, and hope-filled—what is redemptive, miraculous, and eternal.

And then I thought, “I wonder if these ongoing prayers would resonate with anyone else?” And so, that it is how JourneyWomanPrayers came to be born. Please join me, and together we will pray, and we will dance this sacred dance with God…

Anita Higman

Here is the latest blog entry. 

The Goo Went Airborne 

Be completely humble and gentle;

be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)

Dear God, I screamed at my child today. As You know, the whole debacle started when she accidentally dropped a saucer of prune puree. The brown goo splattered all over the highchair, the floor, the curtains, me, and even the ceiling! My little one giggled, and knowing the long cleanup, I screamed. And then we cried together. Good grief. 

The house is clean again, but I am so sorry, Lord. Show me how to be humbler, gentler, and more patient with my family. 

Questions for Pondering…

What are some other good Bible verses about patience?

When did I keep my cool in a similar family situation, and did the rest of the day feel more blessed rather than stressed, even with the extra cleanup?

The Goo Went Airborne - Anita Higman 

MY REVIEW 

I like how the author provides a daily journal that readers can follow. Each entry is a new topic that we can relate to. In this entry we are reminded to not take things and blow them up when it is not important. A spilled  glass of milk  or purée on the floor seems disastrous at the time. But in that moment is a lesson. 

Patience is something I find can be challenging at times. When we show patience and grace, it opens the door for peace. We need to learn to allow God to show us areas we need to work on. Sometimes when we get impatient we miss what God is trying to show us. In this journal entry the author  illustrates how being patient can take away hurt feelings and bring what could have been a big scene to bonding with her child. 

I received a copy of this journal entry from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

How to Make a Miracle Tour & Giveaway 

About the Book

Book: How to Make a Miracle (How to Be a Hero Book 2)

Author: Carol Schlorff

Genre: Middle-grade action and adventure

Release Date: February 17, 2026

Three teenagers. One perilous quest. A miracle worth risking everything for.

Trapped in the Past … A visit to an old palace takes an unexpected turn when Stefan, his sister Julia, and their friend Hugo are mysteriously hurled into the harsh, unpredictable world of the Bible, where they meet Nasiya, a young slave girl caught in a dreadful fate.

Danger and Destiny … In a land where any shadow can hide an enemy, the trio must summon every ounce of faith to survive. For Stefan, however, the battle isn’t only against ruthless warriors—it’s against the anger and guilt holding him captive for too long. As the teens embark on a dangerous journey, Stefan must face the wounds of his past before they shatter his future.

A Race Against the Clock … With time running out and lives hanging in the balance, Stefan must discover that the greatest miracles aren’t about changing the world—they’re about renewing the heart. Fast-paced, richly immersive, and carrying a powerful message of redemption, this middle-grade adventure will grip readers from the first page to the last.

About the Author

Carol’s passion is to write exciting stories that encourage, inspire, and boost the reader’s faith, possibly because she has always felt like an outsider. She was born in North Africa to American parents and grew up in France. At age 15, her family’s abrupt move to Philadelphia resulted in a rough transition to American life.

After graduating from Penn State, Carol joined the Army in search of adventure. She was stationed in exotic—for her—locations like California, Arizona, and Texas.

Since then, Carol has lived in Krakow, Poland, where she teaches English and organizes language camps. She also writes a blog on faith-related topics.

Carol enjoys watching or reading a good murder mystery and getting nervous while watching NFL games.

More from Carol

The idea for a middle-grade novel came to me while I was listening to a series of sermons on meditating on God’s Word. How could I show that the Bible is exciting, far from boring, relevant to our lives, and has the answers we seek about our purpose in life? And do so in a way that is fun and intriguing, keeping the readers on the edge of their seats? Write a time-travel adventure into the Bible, of course! Granted, the premise may not be new, but I aimed to write it in a way that is fresh and stimulating, giving valuable insights into the Bible.

The result of this crazy idea is the How to Be a Hero series, of which How to Make a Miracle is the second installment, although each book can be read as a standalone novel.

I targeted middle-grade readers because it’s an awkward age when young people begin to question what their parents have taught them and seek answers for themselves (speaking from experience, here). If my books can encourage them in their faith, I will consider my writing a success.

I chose the book themes based on issues young people struggle with. How to Make a Miracleaddresses the problem of anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness, which I don’t need to tell you are far too prevalent in our society. The solution is forgiveness—and we all need to learn how to forgive each other, regardless of age.

MY REVIEW 

Traveling to Poland the teens experience an eye opening look at where  their ancestors lived. Right away you can tell Stefan is not happy having to be there. I’m thinking he needs an attitude adjustment. He is still trying to cope with the divorce of his parents. A year later and his bitterness has gotten worse. Being on the trip isn’t helping him but soon things will take a different course for him and the others.

 I appreciate how the author illustrates anger and unforgiveness  in the story. Sometimes as parents we may miss how a decision we make affects our children. Stefan just wants his life back before the divorce where everything in his life was peaceful. As he allows bitterness to continue he faces decisions that question his attitude toward others.

Through a series of events the teens find themselves back in ancient Israel. The author does a great job of helping readers visualize what it may have looked like and I began to fully invest myself in the book.  Meeting a young slave girl they soon realize they may be in danger. I love how the author brings a Biblical story to life and shows how hearts need to change in this exciting adventure. 

Nasiya explains that she has been a slave for  two years. Her life has been hard yet I felt her calmness and grace. She knows that the teens are in danger of being captured by the soldiers and wants to help them. Stefan calls out to God for help even though he knows he hadn’t been close to Him in a long time. God is merciful and hears our cries when we feel alone. Stefan finds himself seeing how much God loves unconditionally during this journey. 

I loved reading about Elijah and how he guided someone for healing. We all have had times when we doubt God. In this story we see how Stefan is led on a journey where he experiences how a slave girl forgave her master and directed him to someone who could heal his leprosy. From Stefan witnessing the miracle he was able to understand forgiveness. 

“Forgiving means letting go of my anger, but the Lord  will judge the sins committed against me.” 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

About the Author

Tony Stoltzfus is the author of 21 books on coaching, life and leadership, including the best-selling Coaching Questions (over 200,000 sold). His latest is Heaven: Experience the Extraordinary—a full-on immersion into life in heaven.

His specialty over 25 years as a professional coach is working with ‘senior leaders in painful transitions’, helping them find the goodness of God in the midst of suffering. He’s had plenty of opportunities to meet God in his own adversities, including betrayals, losing access to his life’s work, depression, a home burning down in a forest fire, and more. His message through it all is, “there is nothing that can happen to you that God won’t make something beautiful of.”

Tony has launched or co-launched several coach training organizations, including Leadership MetaFormation and Coaching Mission International. He has trained and certified thousands of Christian coaches, and been recognized by CCNI for pioneering contributions to the Christian coaching field. He is the developer of the Encounter Coaching approach, which transforms the emotional brain by making Jesus a live participant in the coaching conversation.

Tony lives in Redding, CA with his wonderful wife of 37 years, a dog that is a sucking void of emotional need, and a constantly-breaking sprinkler system.

More from Tony

“If people could spend just one day in heaven, they’d give anything to go back…”

Sounds right, doesn’t it? Then what would it take for people to have that experience on earth (without, of course, the messy detail of having to die in the process)?

The surprising key is in that word, ‘experience.’ Experience is the realm of your emotional brain. That side of you that thinks in pictures, stories, and feelings—not in sterile words and detached, rational concepts. Give people a story that transports them to heaven, that lets them feeltimelessness, soar in the gravity-optional skies of the Beautiful Land or fall into the all-encompassing embrace of the lover of their soul, and maybe, just maybe, they’d give up anything to go!

The book, Heaven: Experience the Extraordinary, is that story. Join physicist Amanda as she finds herself on the other side, in an astonishing, mind-bending universe where evil has been so completely stamped out that no one remembers it ever existed. In this world built of light, gravity is optional—you can sky-dive without a parachute. Conversations are spirit-to-spirit, with no chance of misunderstanding. You travel at the speed of thought. And heaven’s extra dimensions let Jesus be everywhere at once—so you never have to wait to spend time with him!

For those who’ve experienced loss or grief in this life, it’s a heaven that holds the power to make ALL things well. You’ll weep with Amanda as the devastation of losing both parents as a teen is brought to light; but then rejoice when the Man of Light enters every painful memory, washing her heart clean. You’ll see how prayers and acts of kindness done in secret echo down through generations, joining all of us in a Great Tapestry of connections. Meet the mother of an autistic child, and see how the great sacrifices that circumstance drew from her made them both Great Ones in heaven. Learn how Jesus worked behind the scenes to make the man who betrayed Amanda’s father into one of his dearest friends.

And when Amanda learns that her mom has chosen not to come, discover how heaven makes even THAT well.

And yet this heaven is still, always, more! Join a flash-mob gathered to revel in unrestricted joy. Breathe under water in the River of Life. Garden with an angel, and make a plant grow simply by speaking to it. Travel through time to relive any memory in your life, whenever you want.

Heaven is beyond comprehension—but not beyond imagination! And when we give ourselves permission to imagine the unthinkable, the seed of heaven gets lodged deeply in our hearts.

MY REVIEW 

An interesting book about a person’s journey to Heaven. I have read several accounts of people seeing Heaven but find it fascinating that each one had a similar yet different look at what it was like. I appreciate the author using  this story to take readers on a journey that many may never be able to describe. 

Amanda at first couldn’t understand where she was but slowly her ability to comprehend was very promising. When you think about Heaven what do you see? Everyone may  have a different vision of Heaven but as I read the book I sensed peace and serenity over Amanda.  Throughout the book we see Amanda yearning for answers as she understands that she has come to a place where Jesus is. I can’t imagine what it would be like to see Jesus but I do know that with Him I have eternal life. 

I enjoyed the book but I have to say this is a story that led me to question some parts of the  book. As a fiction book the author is able to take liberties in areas but I can’t say I always was able to quite grasp some areas described in the book. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
