On September 19, 2023, we will officially be stepping into a new genre here at Leenie B Books — Inspirational Journals — and we couldn’t be more excited!
In 2020, Leenie felt God leading her to focus on the word LOVE for the year. Little did she know just how stretched she’d be contemplating that word in that very unusual year. Not only did she ponder it in her everyday life as she navigated life through a pandemic, she also embarked on a project that took examples from her books and used them to illustrate the characteristics of God’s love found in 1 Corinthians 13 (and a couple other Bible verses.)
The result is her short Varied Thoughts on Writing Journal, Glimpses of God’s Love.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Is it possible to learn about God’s love through a romance book?
Many would laugh out loud and give a scoffing no as a reply to this question. Some might give a shrug and a hesitant maybe which rises at the end, colouring their tone with doubt. But just ask Leenie Brown that question, and you’ll get a resounding yes!
Leenie has been writing and publishing romances since 2015 and has read or heard many disparaging comments about her genre. She knows that romance stories are often looked down on as frivolous or even misleading and something that causing readers to turn away from Christ instead of towards Him.
Glimpses of God’s Love is her response to the error she sees in this sort of thinking. In this journal, she’ll make the case that romance stories present a uniquely appropriate place to delve deeply into what perfect love – God’s love – looks like.
Join romance author Leenie Brown as she uses examples from her very own books to illustrate and reflect on God’s love.
