How does an introvert love her neighbor? That's the question that Kendra Broekhuis--newly returned from living overseas with her husband and baby daughter--set out to answer.
Getting Over Panic Attacks
Struggling with anxiety/panic is hard enough, but as Christians, there’s an added level of stigma attached to it: as if our anxiousness stems from a lack of trust in God, or an immature faith.
Author Kristy Cambron
The M&H team read Kristy Cambron's The Illusionists Apprentice prior to its release and fell in love. The fiction novel is layered with mystery, illusion, and the artistry of the Jazz Age. It's a journey through love and loss and the underpinnings of faith. If you need a summertime beach read, this is your go-to!
Adopting With Special Needs
Heather Avis, author of The Lucky Few: Finding God's Best in the Most Unlikely Places, was kind enough to take time away from her busy schedule (including three adorable kids!) to chat with the Milk & Honey Magazine.
What's the book about, you ask? Heather explains it perfectly:
Author, Twenty-Two
The 21st century is a wonderful and complicated time to be a young woman. From access to higher education and advances in gender equality to the innovations of social networks and limitless travel destinations, no twenty-two-year-old woman has ever had more options before her than the college graduate of today. And yet, even with the world at her feet, she often has more questions than answers, more pressures than prospects, and more disenchantment than direction.
Q&A: Author Kristi Watts
After you’ve been beaten down personally, professionally, and emotionally, how do you bounce back? That’s the question Kristi Watts asked herself after her marriage dissolved, she left her high-profile position as a cohost of The 700 Club, and she fell into several emotional pitfalls that left her feeling discouraged, disappointed, and distant from God. In her quest to find an answer, though, Kristi discovered one simple thing that had incredible power in determining her happiness: her words.
Tim Tebow's 'Shaken'
Tim Tebow, the 29-year old college football star turned NFL QB turned MLB player, has seen it all. He's seen praise and ridicule; curses and fireworks; high-fives and crude judgement. Tim has been under a microscope since he was recognized by ESPN, complete with a televised documentary, as one of the best high school QB's to ever play. Since, it's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, his fame and recognizability growing as quickly as a wildfire.
Riley Unlikely
Creating and running a non-profit is an accomplishment in and of itself, but Riley Banks-Snyder started one when she was just 14 years old. Really. She took her first trip to Kenya when she was 13 to serve at a neonatal unit and a school, and she remembers seeing babies being fed from medicine cups instead of bottles and an entire class sharing a single pencil due to a lack of resources. The experience created a deep desire within her to aid the people she met there.
Present Over Perfect
After finding herself exhausted, isolated, and sick, author Shauna Niequist came to a point where she knew her life had to change. She was tired, burnt out, and felt unconnected to the people she loved.
Natalie Grant Q&A
Natalie Grant is a woman who wears many hats: mom, wife, artist (one of our favorites, we might add!), writer, and abolitionist. Despite the impressive resume, though, she used to struggle to keep up with the appearance of perfection and live with purpose.
