Dr. Seuss once said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” There are many places Lori Kasbeer likes to travel, but her primary means of travel is reading. Afterall, while reading, one can scale the highest mountain, or swim the deepest sea. You can become attached to characters that make you laugh, or have you buying stock in the Kleenex company. Then there are books you walk away from, but find your life forever changed. That's why Lori believes that reading is a person’s ticket to travel the world.
Lori has a house full of boys--three to be exact, however, if you add her husband, the cat and the dog, masculinity runs rampant. They live in Florida and recently celebrated 13 years of marriage. Lori graduated from college with a communication degree. She has been an in-home childcare provider, and a pre-school teacher. She is currently a part time office assistant, which allows her to spend time with the boys when they are out of school. Reading is Lori’s easiest, and sometimes only, method for getting away from it all.
Lori is also a devotional writer for the Laced With Grace website, and during her spare time you can find her on her blog at Lori's Reflections.
If you have any suggestions for a positive, uplifting book that will bring women closer to the heart of God, drop Lori a note at at lrlwreath @ gmail.com (remove spaces).

As you read this I will be on my way up north. The boys look forward with great anticipation to our yearly bass fishing trip. I am not much for slimy worms and hooks, but I love the great outdoors. The eagles are breath taking and I enjoy listening to the sounds of Loons. I pray you are having a wonderful summer and have had a chance to get away from daily routine, even if it is for a weekend. While the boys are fishing I am sitting… Read More
The temperatures are heating up and kids are filled with summer fever. Summer time is a great season for reading good books. Whether I am by the pool, visiting the beach, or staying inside my air conditioned home you can usually find me curled up with a book.
As a book reviewer you can imagine I read a lot of books, but I can honestly say 2009 has been the year of great books. I wish I could give each one of the books listed… Read More

Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
I am excited to share with you that I am a contributing author in a new book titled, Pearl Girls: Encountering Grit, Experiencing Grace compiled by Margaret McSweeney.
That is not the best part; the best part is that all proceeds for this book are donated to charity. The proceeds go towards… Read More
Martin Luther said, “Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.” Spring is the beginning of all things new. By receiving His resurrection from death we enjoy a new life.
John 11:5 says, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
I have been excited for the month of April; three of my favorite authors have new books. Amy Wallace completes her… Read More
As we enter the month of March thoughts of spring begin to dance in our head. We begin to see green everywhere as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but many of us are longing for the green grass and green trees. I promise it is right around the corner!
While waiting for spring let me suggest some wonderful books to read. If you are looking for a book to help prepare your heart for Easter may I suggest Nancy Guthrie’s Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross? Nancy’s book is sure to become a… Read More
Oswald Chambers said, “The springs of love are in God, not in us. It is absurd to look for the love of God in our hearts naturally; it is only there when it has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” This month the focus is on love; we can love because He first loved us (I John 4:19). Christian love is a gift from God, demonstrated in the cross.
This month in Book Buzz Marion Stroud… Read More

“’Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.’ For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.” (Mark 6:31)
My prayer for this holiday season is that you find the One who came so long ago, born in a manger. Satan would love to fill our calendars with things to do, people to see, “important” tasks to complete, but this is not what the Lord had intended when we remember the birth… Read More
I am excited to introduce you to Patti Lacy. Patti is a first time author that swept me off my feet with her book An Irishwoman’s Tale. She lives with her husband and two children in Illinois. When she is not volunteering, Patti is hiking and sightseeing in most of the fifty states, as well as Canada, Ireland, and Switzerland. Her travels have made the vivid imagery of her book come alive. Patti has the gifted ability of making you… Read More
Barbecue, football, and spectacular fall foliage are a few of the exciting things October brings. The carefree time of summer has given way to managing schedules. October is a time to celebrate the harvest and to catch our breath before Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Has this year gone fast? Or is it just me? This month also marks my one year anniversary as the writer for Book Buzz. Thank you for being wonderful readers. My prayer is that you will find books that will deepen your walk with Christ.
This month Washington’s Lady and In the Shadow of Lions will… Read More
