In a fast-paced world, Sofa Chats invites you to slow down for a few moments to think about life and the Giver of Life. You'll enjoy its honest, conversational, and poetic approach as Valerie candidly shares her heart, her fictional & non-fictional stories, poems, and devotionals. Each one is intertwined with little discoveries she has made about God from His Word, from living everyday life with Him, and from quiet moments spent with Him. She encourages every reader that God greatly desires to connect with each and every one of us – showing us who He is and who we are in Him. So come on in! There's a place on the sofa saved just for you.
