Wisdom of Kammbia 4.3: It’s Only A Story……
by MHill | Oct 15, 2016 | Wisdom From Kammbia Column
For those who have said, "It's only a story." Here's one of the best defenses against that phrase: “It’s only a story.” I’ve heard that sentence a lot of over the years. It seems that stories and those who tell them are considered to be second or even third class...

by MHill | May 22, 2016 | 2016 Book Reviews, Athol Dickson, Marion's Favorite Books
I had mentioned in a previous review of an Athol Dickson novel that he was becoming one of my favorite writers. Dickson's ability to write suspenseful Christian fiction with literary quality merits wider recognition outside of the genre. They Shall See God tells the...
