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).

It is my privilege to introduce to you Mary Pierce. As a book reviewer I have had the chance to read many great books by excellent authors and if you asked who my favorite is, it would be tough choosing just one. However Mary’s name would be at or near the top of the list, partly because she was a favorite long before I started reviewing books but primarily because she is a fantastic writer.
Mary Pierce and I go way back, though she did not know that until recently. The humor in… Read More

Is it August already? School is about to begin, Fall will be here shortly, and the lazy days of summer are almost behind us. I had a great time reading some awesome books this summer. I wish I could draw special attention to each book–they were all that good!
“Skid” is for your funny bone. “Such A Time As This” will have you view Esther in the Bible with greater admiration. You feel like you are losing some friends when you finish “Searching For Eternity.” A smile of admiration will cross… Read More

Ralph Waldo Emerson said “earth laughs in flowers,” if this is true then May is a series of giggles all around us. Flowers are in bloom, the weather is warming up, and spring fever is upon us.
Speaking of new things—last October I had the honor of interviewing author Amy Wallace. I enjoyed her first book Ransomed Dreams so much, that I asked her to return and discuss her second book in the Defender of Hope series, Healing Promises, released April 15th.
Not only did Amy come… Read More

Do you feel it? Spring is in the air! For some of you I wish I could say all your cold weather is gone, but then I would have to follow up with an “April 
Fools.” Soon, very soon, it will be summer. Unless you are like me and live in sunny Florida where winter only lasts one month. Here in the US, April is also tax season; some of you are waiting until the last minute to remit, because you may owe, and some of you have already received your returns and… Read More
