At Home with Christian Fiction has Moved

Greetings,

I want to thank our members, and those who visit, for your patience while I performed some "behind the scenes" work on At Home with Christian Fiction. Many changes occurred this year.

Effective immediately, our new site is: http://www.athomewithchristianfiction.net/
This blog, http://www.athomewithchristianfiction.com/ will be available for archives.

To view our new social gathering area once you bring up our .net site, please go to our "Garden of Books" page. You will find "The Neighborhood," a fun book which you can actually turn the pages. Additional content will be added frequently. New reviews will also be posted here, and additional information pertaining to Christian Fiction and our Authors.

While we won't have a membership area, you will remain a member of our blog, and can always submit comments to "The Neighborhood" via the Comment window.

That said, June 14th - 21st, I will be away from the computer while our family enjoys a mini-retreat.

I'm glad that you enjoy At Home with Christian Fiction. It's a pleasure to visit with you!

~ Catherine

Art of Eloquence

I thought that it was a good time to let our friends (a.k.a. "Followers) meet one another.

Today we have JoJo Tabares, owner of Art of Eloquence, sharing a little about herself and her business, Art of Eloquence.

Welcome, JoJo. ~ Catherine

JoJo Tabares holds a degree in Speech Communication, but it is her humorous approach to communication skills which has made her a highly sought-after Christian speaker and writer. Her articles appear in homeschool publications, such as Homeschool Enrichment Magazine and The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, which also endorses her Say What You Mean curricula. You can also find JoJo on web sites such as Crosswalk.com and Dr.Laura.com. For more information on communication FUNdamentals and Christian-based communication skills for the whole family, please visit http://www.artofeloquence.com/

Art of Eloquence teaches the Communication FUNdamentals of speech and debate. It’s simply your best source for fun and creative communication training for Christians of all ages. Art of Eloquence is unique in that it uses God’s Word and humor to make learning fun for all ages from preschoolers on up through adults. Art of Eloquence also teaches the most important communication skills! You may be able to live your entire life without making a speech but you’ll not get through one day without communicating something to someone. The most important communication isn’t the speech you’ll give, but the conversations you’ll have with friends and family. In fact, the number one reason cited for a marriage to fail is a lack of effective communication! Art of Eloquence teaches not just speech and debate, but everyday communication skills like social communication, defending the faith, leadership and even business communication.

In the Mail Today

Shy and quiet, scarred from a fire when she was small, Clara has resigned herself to living alone and caring for her widowed mother, who tells her that no man will ever see past her scars.

When Tim Graber arrives in Sugarcreek as a favor to his aunt and uncle, he plans only to help with spring planting and then rush back home to the woman he assumes he'll one day marry. But then he meets Clara, the local schoolteacher, and he realizes why the Lord brought him to Sugarcreek.

Clara's scars mean nothing to Tim, who is charmed by her quiet nature and loving way with children. And Clara can't deny the spark she feels every time Tim crosses her path. But does she dare hope that she could have her happily ever after?

When tragedy strikes, and they are faced with the frailty of life, will Tim and Clara have the faith to risk everything for love?
