The Lines of Holy Guacamole: How God Made You Extraordinary
Can there be a more fitting title of a blog post for the 5th of May than a book title that contains the name, “Guacamole?” I read the book, Holy Guacamole: A Glorious Discovery of your Undeniable Worth by Carrie Stephens during the winter as one of my first non-fiction books of the year. What […]

From the Lines of True You by Michelle DeRusha
