Paperbackswap.com One of the great resources I've discovered that aids me in finding good, wholesome books is Paperbackswap.com .  Thanks to the recommendation from a fellow blogger years ago, I've used the site to get some awesome reads, often ones that are hard to find.  So if you're looking for a way to find that elusive Christian biography that's out of printing, need to save a few bucks on books, or just want to help others get Christian titles, take a look at Paperbackswap!

Whether you are single and happy, longing for the future, or struggling to trust God with your relationship status - or all of the above - how do you honor God and live out your full self when you feel you have a heart full of love and no one to give it to? Or when you're lonely...again? Or simply left out? There's no magic formula. And I'm not pretending I know all the answers. But one of the most important things for me remember is simply this: God has good plans.  He hasn't forgotten you. He chose you and then gave everything he had to rescue and win you. You are precious to him. You can offer your heart as a sacrifice to him, no m...
