Fresh, fun articles related to religion, spirituality, and faith from an imperfect and honest perspective. Check out the "Christianity and Pop Culture Series" for examples of faith in the media.

Fairytale?

Don't we all wish for a fairytale? Sadly, we often find ourselves in the conflict part of the story instead of the happily-ever-after part. But there are magical moments to enjoy, and this blog is dedicated to finding and delighting in those moments :)

This book is an excellent read for sister missionaries everywhere! The stories are real and relatable and the lessons and guidance for sisters are essential in their mission preparation. This book is full to the brim with everything sisters need to know before they go!

I love how the author of this book ties in humor perfectly with the Spirit! I feel like it was an extremely engaging and relatable book while also being inspiring and Spirit filled. I definitely recommend this book to anyone considering going on a mission but also to anyone just looking to feel the Spirit.

This book has so much heart. When you read it, you will feel like you're in the cobble-stone streets of Germany, you will learn valuable lessons along with the sweetest author who made herself open and vulnerable, and you'll have a great tool in deciding whether to serve a mission. Most of all, you'll learn how to feel joy.
