Faith and Family Books | October 21, 2008

For the past couple of months I have been helping Candace at Heaven In Our Homes as a guest writer for her Wednesday blog topic of Proverbs. Due to time constraints, she is stepping back from HIOH for awhile, so with her permission I am going to try the idea here.
