Greetings from Sarah Sundin! Today I have the joy of interviewing Diane Stortz, a bestselling author of devotionals, Bible study guides, and numerous books for children! Welcome, Diane! Please tell us about your book, Say & Pray Easter Sticker and Activity Book.

Book Review: Encountering God’s Heart for You: 365 Devotions from Genesis through Revelation
, by adminA book review of Encountering God’s Heart for You: 365 Devotions from Genesis through Revelation by Diane Stortz. A daily devotional journey through the whole story of the Bible.

Praise His Name
, by adminNegative attitudes have a way of creeping up on all of us at times. Good advice for turning them around is keeping a gratitude journal—a list of the things you’re thankful for each day. When we put our focus on the positive aspects of our lives, the impact of the negatives begins to shrink. Psalm 100 can be viewed as a prescription for keeping a gratitude journal about God—for learning to thank Him and praise Him for who He is and what He does. Coming before God to worship with thanksgiving and praise is easy when we’re keenly aware…

The Woman We All Love to Hate
, by adminShe’s the woman we all love to hate, and she used to really bug me. The woman Proverbs 31 praises so highly—she’s just too perfect. She meets everyone’s needs with a smile and looks great doing it. And she gets up early, well before sunrise, and gets right to work. Ugh. Through the years I’ve tried to follow her example. I had my couponing-and-three-store-menu-planning phase, my make-crafts-and-sell-them phase, and I’ve even had more than one let’s-get-up-before-the-sun-and-get-this-day-going phase. But eventually I learned I was trying to copy this much-maligned woman’s activities rather than her character. What the Proverbs 31 woman actually…
