TheInternational Christian Retail Show kicked off Sunday evening with a worship service led by Laura Story, Stephen Curtis Chapman and Max Lucado. Next there was a music showcase with a lot of new Christian musicians, but it didn't really get started until almost 10:00 so we only stayed for a little of it. It was hosted by Matthew West. Republican Rick Santorum spoke and so did Danny Goke from American Idol season 8.

I don't think I have a favorite author... I just LOVE BOOKS and reading :)
I can't believe Veggie Tales are 20 years old... wowza!
I have favorite authors to read but I also have authors I've met and really like but don't read the kind of books they write. I don't read historical, Amish or straight romance. But I know some really nice people that write them. I do enjoy suspense and some women's fiction or contemporary fiction.
My parents were missionaries when I was a kid and one of our sponsors was Margret LaHaye, mother of Tim LaHaye. I met him several times when I was about 10 years old and he was so very nice. When he wrote the LEFT BEHIND series I was so excited to say that I knew him as a kid.
I like a lot of different authors, lately I have read a few of Sandra Bricker's books. Cute and humorous with great characters.
I've read the Left Behind series and have met Jerry Jenkins but I don't remember ever meeting the Lahayes. But I know they are good people.
