Rebecca Barlow Jordan has a new book out just in time for Mother's Day, entitled "At Home In My Heart" (Promise Press). This inspirational book is filled with stories, essays, quotes and tips to help women discover the joy of the indwelling presence of Jesus Christ. Jordan uses the metaphor of the home as the heart as the central theme of this delightful book, and takes her reader on a tour of her literal home. Her clever "decorating and refurbishing" tips are meant for renewing and renovate your heart for the Christian Walk. Jordan mixes in a little humor, a lot of practicality, and a generous helping of spiritual guidance that will encourage all who read this delightful devotional book. Jordan's other books include contributions to "Courage For the Chicken-Hearted," Egg-stra Courage For The Chicken-Hearted," and "Marriage Toners."
