“As someone who struggled with believing a lot of lies during my twenties, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Paul Angone delivers so much truth in this book to combat the lies that can wreck our lives and relationships and keep us stifled from stepping out and using our gifts and talents to make a difference in this world.”

“Kristen has the perfect mix of humor, honesty, and wisdom in these pages. Reading it felt like sitting across from a dear friend who was brave enough to be vulnerable and share her struggles with feeling overlooked and left out. (If you're anything like me, you'll read her stories and feel so seen. I kept thinking, 'so it's not just me who has felt forgotten or not good enough or like everyone else knows how to make friends and I somehow missed that class when I was younger!') If you are lonely and desperate for friends or maybe have a community but are craving deeper connection, the candid stories and practical takeaways in this book will give you next steps and gentle challenges to help you build stronger and richer relationships!”

“Reading Hands Free Life spoke to me at a deep, heart level. It challenged me to stop hurrying through life, quit worrying about what other people think, and start savoring the ordinary, everyday moments. I smiled through some parts, cried through others, and came away with fresh resolve to make each day count — not in more efficient productivity, but in more meaningful relationships. Highly, highly recommended!”

“If you are walking through a hard place in your life, struggling with fear, or feeling overwhelmed by a mountain ahead of you, Katie’s book will serve as a welcome reminder to fear God and walk in faith. Her words challenged and convicted me to say yes to boldly believe God, and choose bravery in spite of my own fear.”

“If you are the parent or grandparent of a preteen or teen, or if you have any interaction at all with teens or tweens, you need to read this book. It is packed with powerful reminders of how our words, actions, attitudes, and availability (or lack thereof) leave indelible marks on the next generation. I was inspired, convicted, and challenged by Rachel’s gentle message of how to guide, encourage, and impact young adults to live with less stress and more joy. I took away many practical applications to immediately implement in our home and parenting.”
Women
“For the first ten years of motherhood, I ran myself ragged. I never got enough sleep, and I was constantly exhausted, stressed, and running on fumes.

In More Than a Mom, Kari Kampakis inspires moms with practical ways to start making their emotional, physical, and spiritual health a priority. Every mom can benefit from reading this book and taking it to heart! I only wish I had it around eighteen years ago when I first became a mom!”

“Overwhelmed Mom is a lifeline for the weary woman who feels like she's drowning in the demands of motherhood. Jamie Erickson beautifully combines practical wisdom with deep biblical encouragement, reminding readers that peace is possible—even in the middle of chaos.

Remaining You While Raising Them
Marriage, Family & Relationships

Alli has such a way with words—she makes you laugh, she’s relatable, and she shares wise truths in a gentle but firm way.

“Jeff Goins is a master wordsmith. And this book is no exception. In it, he uses his personal journey and struggles to paint a poignant picture of what life could be like if you stopped rushing and started embracing each moment—even those seemingly long moments when you're stuck waiting for the next thing. Instead of living life wishing you could jump ahead to the next adventure, these pages will inspire you to slow down and savor the in-between.”

“Want to change the world? Start by looking for ways to make a difference with the people in your path right in front of you—those you encounter at the store, at school drop-off, at church, in your neighborhood, or right in your own home. As Becky Keife so masterfully illustrates in this book, you don’t have to be wealthy or famous or have a bunch of social media followers to impact someone’s life. It’s often the small and seemingly insignificant things that can mean the most! We can’t individually change the world, but we can change an individual’s world. This book will serve as a powerful guide to do just that!”

Michele’s story will inspire you, move you, and leave you feeling empowered that you too can face overwhelming odds and unknowns with courage and bravery.”
When Making Others Happy Is Making You Miserable
Christian Living
“I’m so grateful to Karen Ehman for writing a book on the much-needed topic of people pleasing. As someone who has struggled with being miserable, anxious, and stressed over what people think about me, I constantly need reminders of the truth that it’s not my job to win the approval of others but to instead honor the Lord with my life.”
