The words on the pages beautifully illustrate a biblical concept of God’s preparation and victory with Him. It resonates with our daily lives, offering reassurance and hope. I pray that the power of Jesus Christ will Read more of this blog post »

Martha Gayle liked Leslie's review of When Jesus Calls: "When Jesus Calls is a tender, heartfelt debut by Martha Gayle. It's a story that gently invites readers to examine their own walk of faith through the life of its protagonist, Mary. What struck me immediately is how real Mary feels.
