I want to introduce you to a very special “voice” behind this blog, Stacy Harp, president of Mind & Media. Today is her birthday! So, click on over to Mind & Media and wish her a wonderful year ahead.

Stacy has helped me enormously in getting this blog up and going. I admit I’ve been terrified of sending my thoughts out into cyberspace – but she’s encouraged me every click of the way. I don’t know anyone as passionate as she is about the life-changing power of Christian books.

She’s one of the first people who has stepped out boldly to harness the medium of blogs in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After all, if people are going to blog about anything, why not blog about great Christian books? I agree: there’s no better way to share the message of Truth than to help someone get their hands on the perfect book at the perfect time.

I look forward to opening Stacy’s emails – she always offers encouraging words to her reviewers, making us feel connected and appreciated. Not only does she help promote faith-driven books, CDs, DVDs, and magazines – she’s also out there personally serving behind the scenes. She meets with missionaries, helps pass out Bibles in her (spare!) time at hospitals, and she even donates books to incarcerated and spiritually hungry inmates.

She’s pretty much left the rest of us in the dust with her energy! Check out her two new posts on WomanTalk, “Liberal Women Do Not Speak for Me” and “Feminists Have a Low View of Themselves.” Here’s an excerpt:

…With God’s leading, prayer and the voice He gave me, I began to engage the culture for Christ and His principles and values. And I can tell you that my life hasn’t been very boring! I’ve been totally excited about how women can and do make a difference for what is right if they just take the time to become informed and then execute their battle plan for righteousness.

Anyway, today’s her special day. So, if you feel as strongly as I do that books have the power to open minds, open hearts, and change lives, send her a note today!
