Habits for a Sacred Home

Christian Living

““Jennifer Pepito’s elegant invitation to live well offers renewed hope for mothers. She captures long-held fears for our families and our world and covers them with truth. I’m more inspired than ever to follow the path of everyday women who have gone before me as hardworking, benevolent stewards and waymakers.”

Mothering by the Book

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“In Mothering by the Book, Jennifer Pepito rejects the common veil of perfect motherhood to reveal a beautifully messy and inspiring journey that my mama heart immediately recognizes as truth. Her words are a balm that leaves me feeling seen and known. By uniquely tying the lessons of life’s trials and triumphs to living literature and God’s Word, Jennifer Pepito gifts mothers a sincere hope while reminding us of the incomparably fierce power of a mother’s love.”

The Redeemed Reader

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“The Redeemed Reader is exactly the kind of thoughtful, grace-filled resource Christian families need today. Much like the website I've trusted for years, the authors don't shy away from hard questions or complex books. Instead, they offer wise, grounded guidance for navigating literature with conviction and curiosity. This book doesn't ask parents to compromise their values—it equips them to engage deeply with the stories shaping our culture while honoring their conscience. Reading The Redeemed Reader felt like sitting down with my most bookish, insightful friends—only these friends come prepared with years of literary wisdom and spiritual discernment. The pages brim with rich conversation about stories, ideas, and how we help our kids (and ourselves!) read well in a complex world. If reviews came with sound effects, you'd hear me whistling, laughing, crying, questioning, and smiling my way through this gem. It's a revelatory and celebratory read. This book is a rare treasure: it encourages Christian families to wrestle honestly with contemporary books rather than retreat from them. The authors neither dismiss nuance nor demand compromise—they model how to explore a wide range of literature with both discernment and delight. The Redeemed Reader reminds us that reading is not just safe or unsafe—it's an opportunity to grow, to ask questions, and to form readers who are both wise and compassionate.”

What to Wear

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“When my kids were little, it was easy to find meaningful resources for studying God's Word, but as they hit the tween years, it became increasingly difficult to find age-appropriate studies to help them connect with others while reflecting on the Word and its power in their lives. What to Wear fills that void in every way possible. Catherine Parks uses a casual, informed voice that appeals to kids and parents alike as she points children to the Bible and a deeper understanding of godly character. My kids appreciate the practical ideas for applying and practicing each quality, and I love that Parks gives just the right amount of detail as she guides older children to delight in what we get to 'wear' as His followers.”

Words Like Honey

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Amy Hughes has gifted parents a true treasure with Words Like Honey. With wisdom, humility, and grace, she helps us examine the impact of our words on our children, offering practical guidance to avoid unintentional harm and nurture faith and kindness instead. Amy’s gentle approach makes even the toughest truths easy to embrace, and her honest reflections remind us that none of us are perfect—but we can all grow. I thought I understood the power of life-giving words, but this book opened my eyes to so much more. I’m walking away inspired, never shamed, and eager to implement these ideas in my own home. This is a must-read for any parent who desires to speak words of love and truth into their children’s hearts. I’m so thankful for this book.”
