Every once In a while, God brings an angel gift into your life that encourages you endlessly for years upon end. Ginger Pattee is one of those gifts. She started coming to our mom conferences over 20 years ago and because we kept seeing one another, we became friends. Ginger is a mama to 5 grown kids and home educated them all. Ginger has been a very important leader in our ministry for many years. She has led a Book Study group for many years with women from her area. But, she leads a prison ministry in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for incarcerated mamas using our books as a way to disciple and mentor these precious ones. And she is a contributor on my membership: Life With Sally.

The real impact she has had in my life, though, is that she is a faithful and faith-filled women. She just keeps walking with God through thick and thin, she keeps being encouraging, she keeps loving. She is a model and inspiration to me personally.

The photo above was a few years ago when Ginger was a part of a weekend of leaders meeting at my home for discipleship training. We share a love for great literature, a love for Jesus and a love for mentoring. But even more, we are both grandmothers, have seen our children grow into adulthood, have encountered the ups and downs of them through these young adult years and so we have one another’s friendship to understand and share the joys and burdens of all the stages.

I asked Ginger to share with us on my podcast some of her favorite books that are about people of color. We have in common some of our mutually loved books. I know you will enjoy listening today. It is really two friends letting you into our conversation.

And, again, to celebrate this week of over 10 million downloads, I am giving away 2 of our favorite books. So, leave a comment in my places and you will be entered into the drawing.

Enter to receive a copy of each of these wonderful books. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and What is Given From the Heart (oh how this touches me every time I read it.)

More books you will love. (Not in the giveaway.)
