REVIEW: Maid to Match by DeeAnne Gist

“Maid to Match” by DeeAnne Gist is another wonderfully romantic read from a gifted Christian fiction novelist. Tillie is trying to win the position of ladies maid to her wealthy and wonderful employer. She aspires to make lots of money that she can donate to help less fortunate children at a local orphanage. Mack is a rugged mountain man who accepts a position with the Vanderbilts to earn enough money to get his sister out of the local orphanage, where the girls are being beaten by the director.

This charming romantic tale takes the reader deeply into the world of domestic servitude. I learned so much about the servant caste system, the goals and aspirations of domestics, and what they could hope to achieve. Gist develops and intricate plot and colors her story with incredible detail. I am never disappointed when I pick up a novel by this author. I highly recommend this novel.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a while, now.   And I would like to share wit
