Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“The longing of Sara’s heart is for God and His with-us presence. Her writing reveals glimpses into their holy relationship. Adoration is not a prayer technique but a response of our hearts to His unending invitation to be with Him every moment of every day. I pray this book becomes contagious! Nothing is more important.”

“How easy it is to feel and be grateful when circumstances are good. But the real test of genuine faith is our heart's response when life is difficult. Today we are facing uncertainty individually and as a nation, and the question before us is whether we will trust, with thankful hearts, the sovereign God who rules over all or succumb to fear and self-pity. Nancy's book on gratitude is a guide worth following in stressful times, for she shows us that giving thanks in all things is the key to a peaceful, joy-filled heart in every circumstance of life.”

“Cindy's candid approach to the topic of submission is so refreshing! What I love about this book is the way Cindy weaves biblical instructions for loving submission with practical illustrations for daily living. You will be encouraged by her authenticity, inspired by her example, and challenged as you apply the truth presented here.”

“Living in daily life what an author writes in a book is the sure mark of authenticity, and Courtney passes that test well. She invites God into every area of her life, especially her home. I love seeing young women choose the often lonely and thankless road of mommy-land knowing the rewards will come one day, if not from grownup children, from a Father who sees all and is pleased with her sacrifice and service in his name.”

“Gloria’s words, challenges, and high view of mothering were what my heart knew to be true in the years of my own mothering journey. I enthusiastically endorse this call to us as women to nurture, to create, and to believe God for the glory of the gospel in the lives of those he has placed in our paths. May thousands of women accept Gloria’s challenge to be used by God to transform lives for the glory of his kingdom in their homes and in their worlds. Selah!”
Praying the Scriptures for Your Life
Bible Studies & Devotionals
“Saturate your soul with the Scriptures. This is the message of Jodie Berndt’s newest book on prayer. Soaking our hearts and minds in God’s living active words and then forming them into prayers is a profitable practice for abiding with the One who loves us more than we can imagine!”
The Biggest Story Bible Storybook
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Families need the Bible more than ever. This A+ version for kids will capture their imaginations and call their hearts to the Father. And I’m confident The Biggest Story Bible Storybook will do the same for any parent who reads these beautifully illustrated pages out loud to their children.”
Christian Living
“Even before I read the first word of this book, I began recommending it, because I know Sara. Her vocabulary reminds me of my mentor and hero, Elisabeth Elliot, who also used the words surrender, loss, and gift. Like her, Sara has walked through deep waters and, by not rushing ahead, has discovered more of God in the murky darkness. This book is an invitation to live in the messiness of losses and to find there the surprising joy of Immanuel, God with you, giving you gifts in your limitations. Like Sara, this book is a rich, deep well. Be fed. Be nourished.”
Christian Living
“Listening in on Sara’s conversations with God will call your heart, as it did mine, to want more time with Him.”
