It would also be a good idea to read as many Love Inspireds from the library as you can carry. Try and get the whole historical line and get a feel.

Lori,
There are a number of good writing books, but before I recommend them, let me ask you what you are READING.

This spirit comes in when we commit idolatry. Yes, us. We may call ourselves Christians but we still sin and commit idolatry. The Israelites knew the Lord and sinned by idolatry (so many examples but one: 2 Chronicles 25:18). They are a shadow of us…
