dreams of writing a book
goes the extra mile

So this site offers;
a good books to read!
help to become Friends with God,
The One Ideal Real Friend
a cure for loneliness
An Older Sister's Coping Secret
how to pray Panic Prayers,
& regularly/daily
devotionals,
how to grow in faith
Christian mentoring,
how to share your faith
character development
how to become a writer

"God, give ME a Friend!" Is that your heart's cry? If you feel friendless, you will be thrilled to meet Ruthe and her BEST Friend, whom she loves to share! Get the book; "Ruthe's Secret Roses.





Wish You had One Loyal Friend?

The secret is to BE one first. Discover how by watching Ruthe in this book! (You could gain her BEST Friend too).





Wish you could have a heart-to-heart talk with God?

Ruthe does. All the time, where ever she goes, she's having a running conversation with the one she calls Lord, or my Best Friend. You've got to meet Ruthe! AND her Secret Roses.





You don't really have time to read on the couch, but if you're like me, you do read snatches on the run, and somehow make time to read a GOOD book completely.

So how can you be sure this Ruthe in the book is not some kook? Read the six sample chapters.

In the last few years, I've met several aspiring writers, who would like tips and links to get them into a writing career. I've been bookmarking my favourites for nearly four years now, and it is rather frustrating to have to look them up all over again for each person. So I'm gathering them all onto one page, here, (or it may turn out to be more than one), and then I can refer new friends to this page for such information.

Be aware though, that I don't keep trying the links to make sure these sites are still there. If you find a bad one, use my contact page to let me know. I sure don't want this to become a lot of deadwood links.

If you've happened along and like this, feel free to help yourself.

Oh, you're welcome!
