Some readers may be wondering where the weekly installments of the Christian Book Carnival have disappeared to.  I was running the weekly carnival, but there didn’t seem to be much participation from book bloggers, and to be honest, I didn’t have the time to adequately dedicate to promoting the carnival.  If there is someone who would like to pick up the ball and run with it who has time to contact bloggers and acquire review links, please contact me – I’d be happy to pass on the torch .

Thanks for joining us again for the 16th Christian Book Carnival!

After taking an extended break from the Christian Book Carnival over the holidays I was gearing up to start again when I became ill, followed by the computer crash.  I did have some submissions in my email that I was going to post, but then my computer went boinkers and they’re stuck on the hard drive.  I know that several of you have volunteered to host the carnival, and I so appreciate it.  Perhaps we can get started afresh this week?

I’m going to be running the carnival through email only, due to some difficulties with updating the carnival at Blog Carnivals.  Please email me – jennifer at quiverfullfamily dot com if you’d like to host or with your submissions.

Due to the lengthy wait between editions and technical difficulties there are only two submissions this week .

NON-FICTION

RAnn from This That and the Other Thing reviews The Gift of Psalms, a book/CD combo.  It includes popular psalms and reflections on them.

Jennifer from Quiverfull Family reviews Me, Myself and I AM, a Christian workbook for use in journalling and self reflection.

Thanks for joining us for this brief edition.  I hope to have you join us again next Wednesday!
