by Victoria Grzybowski | Jun 18, 2016 | House Keeping, Sewing

  I decided to do a post on what I keep in my sewing basket and what tools I use all the time and need ready right at hand. After all, a seamstress is only as good as what’s in her sewing basket. That’s a saying, right? Well, let’s get started!   -Pincushion...Read More

Evil hides in prettily packages things. I'd be r Evil hides in prettily packages things. I'd be rich if I got a dollar for every adult or inappropriately spicy book I saw in a YA section of a bookstore or library. It's one thing to place them in reach of adults, who have free will and can make their own decisions on doing something that will wreak havoc on their heart, mind and spirit. But it's downright demonic, evil, and abusive to place these things in the hands of children. You used to not be able to attend an R rated movie if they knew you were underaged, but what do our kids have access to through books? 📖I have yet to go into a bookstore where Sarah J. Maas, and popular books like Icebreaker (full of sexually explicit sex scenes) and the like are not in or on a shelf RIGHT NEXT to the YA section. Right next to The Hunger Games, and Divergent. 📖I read a comment thread the other day where someone said she saw her 12yo sister reading Haunting Adeline, a romanticized r*pe/abuse story ala horror esque writing. If it were a movie, it would probably be X rated. 📖School and public libraries are rife with graphic novels, picture books, and other material that details graphic s*x, masturbation, oral s*x, abuse, and more in PICTURES for CHILDREN. The American Libraries Association's top 10 contested books have all been contested due to highly explicit sexual content written for or about minors. This is abuse. This is grooming. This needs to stop. What are some thoughts you have? Should children need a parents consent to buy or borrow certain books? Should we get a rating system for books like movies? Should we be standing up and making a fuss at bookstores and libraries, demanding they remove heavily explicit material from the children's section? Give me one good reason it should stay. I'll wait.
If you are looking for a resource that is concise, If you are looking for a resource that is concise, and full of tips and tricks, resource for how to discuss this topic with your kids, how to bring about awareness to a generation that desperately needs it, and has at least a map to everything you might need, this is the perfect first step. This book was equal parts eye-opening, and straight to the point. I personally believe everyone should read this book even if we aren’t parents because this topic affects us and our culture deeply. This is not just to teach you how to talk to your kids, but can be a powerful tool in educating and equipping everyone on this topic. I picked this book up because I randomly stumbled on it in my quest for resources. It proved to be not just my favorite, but one that I think is the perfect digestible, bite-sized chunk that everyone should read to get a firm grasp on this topic for themselves, for friends, and most importantly, for the generation that is currently growing up. Porn is the most accessible it has ever been with average exposure being 10-12, and increasingly more children between the ages of 5-8 being exposed. We NEED to be talking about this. We need to be educating ourselves and telling everyone who will listen. I hope that this book and the series I've been posting has given you the courage to use your voice. To talk to people you might not normally about this topic. I hope it will take the fear and shame out of even saying the word porn and allow us to step out of the shadows and simply call it what it is with compassion, understanding, and a hand out for help. This book has one of my favorite features which is age-range guides on how to broach certain topics with different age groups. Your 5 year old is going to be learning about porn differently than your 15 year old. Full of practical examples, and a compassionate heart, I can't recommend this book enough!

I don't know about you, but it's utter delight whe I don't know about you, but it's utter delight when you find a book that you know you don't have to worry about what might be behind each page! It's an extremely rare occurrence at bookstores. Barnes and Nobles and the like have become rife with the refuse in the form of books that is filled with smut, violence and just utterly disgusting content. I got into a discussion with some other authors this week about how much of that content is marketed and found in the YA section, whether that book is actually YA or not. I've been so disappointed that one of my favorite local spots that just opened has since started widening their stock and I've noticed far more famous spicy books, witchcraft books, and more on the shelves. I don't know if I'm the only one, but there is something extremely spiritually depressing about bookstores to me these days. It's disappointing how much damaging content I see and the spiritual dynamic of all of that evil lingers in the air like second hand smoke. Which is why I've created a place on the internet where us clean book lovers can unite! I want this to be a place for you to find a clean read you can trust without that jump-scare experience of not knowing what to expect. It's why I created The Clean Reader's Guide to the Universe, started my own press, published my own books and delved deep into research on this topic and others. Literature is powerful. It's important to me to craft entertainment that honors the Lord and impacts the reader for good and not for evil. If that resonates with you, give me a follow! We share good books, deep thoughts, hope, and joy here and I hope you'll come along for the ride!

Tackling a very common topic of discussion from my Tackling a very common topic of discussion from my dms today! While many of my followers are readers, I know a large number of them are also writers. This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart because while writing clean fiction, I've been called by the Lord to handle deep themes and topics that are tough. Abortion, sexual trauma and abuse, human trafficking, foster care, spiritual warfare and more just in my published books alone has taken me through my own personal journey on many of these topics as I've sought the Lord on how to honor Him and honor my readers with my writing. Writing tough topics from a place of grace and purpose is so important as believers. I'm sure this is going to look wildly different from person to person, and something that I encourage writers I mentor who ask me "what if my writing is too dark or too much?" I always answer that "if you are asking that question, your heart is already in the right place. If you are asking God those questions and follow His leading and guidance, you almost can't go wrong and you will fee sure and confident in what you have written." I'd love to hear your thoughts on these topics and discussion s! This post is less of a "this is the hard and fast rule" and more of a "what are your thoughts on this topic?" kind of post. So hit me! I'm excited to hear what you all have to say on these thoughts and topics!

I'm stingy with my preorders. I love the idea of h I'm stingy with my preorders. I love the idea of having books just set to arrive when they come out, but I also am oftentimes scared to take a risk. Preorders usually end up being a list of my auto-buy authors as a result. Only one of these is a bit of a risk because I haven't read book 1 yet, but I can't without the completed set. LOL! ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 📖 The Betrayal of Eden by @erinphillipsauthor​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 📖The Collector of Burned Books by @roseannamwhite​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 📖Tempest at Annabel's Lighthouse by @jaimejowright​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 📖Glass Across the Sea by @saraellawrites​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 📖Winter's Chill by @morganlbusse​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ 📖Tyrant by @brianmcbrideauthor​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ What books have you preordered for 2025?

I started off avoiding fantasy for the most part b I started off avoiding fantasy for the most part because of the kind of fantasy that was popular. Things like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson aren't my favorite because I don't like its dabble in the occult. (Not here to change your mind) But I've come to find some things I look for when diving into fantasy! I like looking for a Christian author, books with a biblical worldview, even if the story does still include a magic system. These are the books that got me into fantasy and discovering worlds and new systems created with some of the most beautiful writing. ✨Wishtress - wintery magic and curses, ice-skating, defeating an evil ruler, sweet romance. THE VIBES of this one are fabulous! -content, light kissing ✨The Wonderland Trials: A dystopian type London meets the magic of Alice in Wonderland with a hunger games type of twist! ✨Dust and Shadow - Peter Pan retelling, light vs darkness, and just a bit of pixie dust. ✨ Vivid - trilogy, each form of magical power is fueled by a specific color, shadow government, and academia vibes. ✨Fawkes - historical fantasy of the gunpowder plot with masquerades, and dark academia vibes. ✨Romanov - fantasy retelling of the Romanoff family in Russia. Anastasia, magical healing, and epic page-turner ✨The Restorer - bingeable series, portal fantasy with Narnia vibes and the chosen one is a middle aged mom from suburbia. These books made me fall in love with fantasy and I hope you enjoy them! What clean, Christian world-view focused fantasy would you recommend?
