Batgirl at Super Hero High by Lisa Yee (audio book review)

Image
Anyone who knows my family, knows we love superheroes (or, in my husband's case, tolerate them).

I love the insight from real women, digging deeper into the Word of God (and that it doesn't take a seminary degree to understand their devotions). image via Barnes and Noble website When Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams came out with their book, "She Reads Truth: Holding Tight to Permanent in a World That's Passing Away," I was excited to read it. I was not really sure what to expect, knowing relatively little about their lives or writing experience outside of devotions. I had little to dread, however. "She Reads Truth" has provided a balm to my soul in a wearying time of the holiday chaos. Now, if I try to tell you about details of the book, I will mess up. It's written so that each chapter is by only one author at a time, telling a bit of her story and tying it to Scripture and lessons she's learned through reading Truth. While their stories are d
