"Mom's Review"
Upfront, this is a Christian children's book, so you can expect a lovely tie-in to scripture. Specifically, Psalm 121, and it's done well. The interaction between parents and Charlie are realist" Read more of this review »
Charlie Can't Sleep! by Rachel Joy Welcher
"The beginning felt a bit lengthy, which might resonate with some readers’ fears. I really appreciated the inclusion of scripture, particularly Psalms 121. It’s such a heartwarming children’s book that addresses bedtime anxiety and emphasizes trust in" Read more of this review »

“It’s ok to not look back.
It’s ok to look forward to the future
with a broken heart and a limp.
Is there any other way to
travel toward God
this side of heaven?”
Rachel Joy Welcher, Two Funerals, Then Easter

“The main point is not pursuing sexual purity but recog- nizing our impurity and our desperate need for Christ. So many of us walked right past the gospel on our way to a purity conference. Our parents and youth leaders were so concerned about our budding sexuality, scrambling for direction and wis- dom, that some of us ended up signing abstinence pledges before falling on our knees in repentance. We wore purity rings as badges of honor, forgetting that it is Jesus who cleanses us from all unrighteousness.”
Rachel Joy Welcher, Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality

“If we talk about sexual purity apart from the gospel, we will create chaste Pharisees instead of imperfect disciples. Obedience is a response to grace, not a ladder to heaven.”
Rachel Joy Welcher, Talking Back to Purity Culture: Rediscovering Faithful Christian Sexuality

“The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way. (There is no good asking first whether the work before you deserves such a surrender, for until you have surrendered you cannot possibly find out.)”
C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism
