“We need more writers like Lore Ferguson Wilbert, ones who gently guide us into the grooves of a well-worn faith, the kind acquainted with doubt. Her words invite us to spread our arms out wide beneath the canopy of curiosity, to take a walk along the curved pattern of the question mark, and to breathe in deep the mystery of God.”

“In a world that worships certainty, Knox McCoy invites us to give our first impressions a second look and reconsider what we thought we knew for sure. With grace-filled humility, hard-won wisdom, and just the right amount of ridicule, Knox’s writing continues to challenge, entertain, and influence the way we talk about what we believe. I adore this book, and I hope Knox continues to write books forever. This statement needs no reconsideration.”
Fiction
“During a difficult year of loss in my own life, I found great comfort in this fictional tale of four friends with true-to-life faith. The way they relate with Christ and one another in grief, disappointment, celebration, and joy served as a kind companion to me personally, as well as a creative reminder of some of my favorite spiritual practices.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Questions are rarely allowed to linger in the air for too long before someone feels compelled to answer them. Rather than let our curiosity lead us more deeply into understanding God or one another, we rush to certainties and supposed sure things. In Becoming Curious, Casey Tygrett reclaims the transformational power of a curious question for the faithful, encouraging believers to do what may seem counterintuitive in our culture—to ask another question rather than find a quick answer. While reading this book, I had the distinct feeling that Casey crafted these words with great humility in his heart and a smile in his eyes—the kind that only comes from a man who has released his right to know everything and rests well in the presence of Jesus. Casey Tygrett is one of my new favorite authors and Becoming Curious is an anthem of hope for believers who have grown tired of well-oiled religion.”

“Begin Again is a sacred invitation to walk forward in our own lives without shame or regret. Leeana Tankersley’s words stir the soul and hold space for anyone who feels stuck, overcome, or undone. I want to give this tender, powerful book to every woman in my life.”
History & Biography
“Adam McHugh's stunning memoir, Blood from a Stone, brings a sideways beatitude: Blessed are the lonely, the detached, the fired, the tired, and the spiritually hungry. They will see God if they're paying attention and willing to be surprised. Read, savor, and listen for the low hum of deep faith in this personal story of a man who writes with a keen awareness of grief and a self-deprecating honesty. You'll leave with a renewed longing for food and meaning, cheese and history, and wine you can't pronounce.”

“Leeana refuses to reach for easy answers, instead leading the reader on a journey of accepting our own humanity. Quite simply, this is one of the most thoughtful books I’ve read all year.”

“When fear rises up, our first instinct may be to either completely avoid it or fall victim to worst-case scenarios. Maria Furlough offers an alternative, issuing the invitation to break the fear cycle altogether in this gentle and deeply personal book.”

“In Breathing Room, Leeana Tankersley speaks the kind of soul language I’m always looking for but rarely find, the kind that comes from thoughtful silence, faithful waiting, and long, dark nights. She refuses to reach for easy answers, instead leading the reader on a journey of accepting our own humanity—to turn toward Christ and grieve fully, celebrate wildly, breathe deeply in his presence—and begin again. Quite simply, this is one of the most thoughtful books I’ve read all year.”

“I was hardly aware of the low-grade sense of failure I had every time I walked into my sunroom. And then I learned the Cozy Minimalist way and everything changed. Step by step, I applied Myquillyn’s Cozy Minimalist method to my sunroom, and it went from being my least favorite room in the house to my most favorite within days. I’m so grateful for this beautiful, life-giving book.”

“Mary DeMuth writes like a friend, like a fellow struggler and straggler and I find myself nodding the whole way through—a perfect book to put in the ‘truths I don’t want to forget’ section of your library.”

“Shannan Martin takes what is regular, ordinary, and small about our story and carries it through the lens of God’s invisible kingdom, reminding us that the more we often long for might actually be found in less. She can turn a phrase into something so surprising, so stunning, it will both catch your breath and break your heart. Shannan Martin Martin is one of my favorite writers and Falling Free is an exquisite work.”
Christian Living
“In her book Girl Meets Change, Kristen Strong wisely suggests that perhaps the darkness that often accompanies change doesn’t mean we’ve been abandoned but means we’re being covered by God’s hand. I had never thought of change that way before, and since reading her kind words, my soul has been deeply encouraged in the midst of my own life transitions. The gift Kristen gives is that she takes what we already know in our heads about change and delivers it gently to our hearts.”

“Every human has at least two superpowers. The first is the power to listen, and the second is the ability to extend grace. The problem is, many of us never find ways to access these, especially when it comes to our political positions. Now, with the release of this timely book, Sarah from the left and Beth from the right serve as our guides through conflict and complexity, delivering us into connection. I wish every person living in the United States would read this compelling book, from the youngest voter to those holding the highest office.”
