Anxiety Elephants, Part 2
CVB: You mentioned that you’re married. So how did this struggle with anxiety affect your marriage? Caris: I love that question because the anxiety didn’t affect just me. It affected my husband as well. It was hard on him because he had never dealt with anxiety. He’s just not an anxious person and he wanted to fix it. He wanted so badly to save me, to rescue me, and to get rid of the hurt, but he didn’t know how. He didn’t understand. On my end, I was scared that if he found


How to Listen So Your Kids Will Talk
CVB: Why did you choose to write a book about listening to your kids? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? (laughs) Becky Harling: Well, bear in mind, you write to your deepest needs. (laughs) I am a Christian communicator, so I talk a lot, which carries over into my parenting journey. As parents, we are always telling our kids, “Brush your teeth, make your bed, do your homework, blah, blah, blah.” There were two pivotal moments in my parenting journey. One of them w

Raised by his Methodist mother, Hannah Grant, to carry himself in humility, Ulysses S. Gra

Read a Moving Encounter Between Ulysses and Julia Grant - & my Interview with Christian Authors Net
I know you have a deep interest in history, but what inspired you to write this book? My interest in the final two years in the life of Ulysses S. Grant began sometime in the 1990s when I first viewed The Civil War by Ken Burns. Living in Virginia during those years, I began a tradition of visiting Civil War battlefields and museums that continues to this day. I am grateful to the amazing battlefield guides and expert staff at the numerous museums, national parks, and histori
