Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“We need women like Sara Hagerty, and we need more books like Adore—ushering us into the throne room of grace, in the middle of the mundane and the maintenance. This is a book not to miss. If you heed its encouragement, it will change your life.”

“Erin Loechner has a calming presence, a reassuring voice, and a life-giving soul. You’ll walk away from these pages shifted and feeling whole instead of hurried. Her words are a brave call to a fast-paced generation, and I cannot suggest reading them enough.”
Christian Living
“In Philippians, the apostle Paul talks about the great stuff he’s done, the horrible stuff he’s been through, and how it’s all forgettable in light of God. Those verses come to mind when I hear or read Mary’s words. Her story matters because all of our stories matter—but it’s not her accolades or her acknowledgments of pain that you’ll remember most. Her words reek of God’s grace, glory, and goodness, and of our ability to cling to them. Whether you come to this book with the most successful or the most stinky past, you’ll be blessed and loved well by Mary’s leading. She’s a good friend, and this is a good book.”

“If you’re going to read about the Holy Spirit, pick an author who has spent time with our Friend, Comforter, and Companion. If you’re going to read about the Holy Spirit, pick an author who is gracious and generous and kind. If you’re going to read about the Holy Spirit, pick a book that invites and encourages you to experience God—not just gain head knowledge about Him. Jeannie Cunnion is that author, and this is that book. I can’t suggest it enough. Don’t Miss Out, amen?”
Marriage, Family & Relationships
“Heather MacFadyen is the mom friend you’ve been looking for your entire life. She’s not going to make you feel like you’re behind or like you’re messing it up—but she’s also not going to try to pacify your fears, desires, or vision for your family. She’s a kind leader, an amazing writer, and a faithful friend. This book is a gift from God to us, and I cannot suggest it enough!”

“It’s all swirly these days. It’s hard to tell what is genuine and what is just fanfare, noise, and nonsense. Enter Andi Andrew. Watch her face as she speaks and you will want to listen forever. You know that whatever she’s dishing out is cut-you-to-the-core real. And the truth behind her words is not only eternity-minded but also life-shifting. I’ve had the joy of hearing her talk about Jesus in person, but I promise you reading her words in this book is not a consolation prize. Make a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and feel the freedom to cut through the crazy and the clutter to hear some real words by a really wise woman. You’re going to love this book, and it’s going to change your life.”

“steps as well as physical ones.” I knew Alli was an incredible leader and a super-wise gal, but after reading that line I pulled out my pens and highlighters and set my intentions on devouring this book as quickly as possible. I’m so thankful for women like her, giving us the actual tools we need to do battle. This book is one of those incredibly helpful ones that will not disappoint.”
Christian Living
“Picture you, beaten up and feeling defeated, resting against the edge of the ring ready to quit. God enters, eager to fight for you, to help you see the strength he has given you. Because God is loving and kind, he pulls in his friend Hannah Brencher--the compassionate coach, guide, poet, and prophet--who is going to use his words to show you: you're already standing; God has already won; and the fighting is what we get to do.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Kristen cares about the heart of women, and she cares about the heart of God. This is so incredibly evident in her book, and you’ll be blessed to slow down, settle in, and find selah in her words and in His Word. You’ll be so thankful you read this, and you’ll want to pass it around your friend group or buy one for all the gals you know. Thanks, Kristen, for leading the women of our generation so beautifully!”
Christian Living
“Christine has written the book that I believe women in our generation are really dying to read. In a practical and honest way, she exposes the truth and lets God’s grace do its very good work in our lives. This book has been a huge tool to help me stop shouting with a raspy and tired voice, ‘I’m good! I’m good, aren’t I?’ and start looking to my very good God who covers me in his love.”
Christian Living
“You know who I want to preach to me about God, about the Word, about anything? The gal who is already preaching to herself. I’m here to tell you, from a front-row point of view, that Hayley Morgan is a woman who speaks truth to herself—powered by the Holy Spirit and armed with the Word of God. Enjoy this book and embrace this tool that will change your life and strengthen your appetite for our Father.”
Christian Living
“We need Gospel-centered women in business and ministry these days . . . women who will champion us and encourage us, and who will also give us truth. I could not be more grateful for Somer and Michelle, and how they use their voices to do just that. You will love this book, and they will love you through it!”
Christian Living
“I don’t know about you, but for the last few years, I have been doing war with my longing for control. And honestly I’ve been losing. One huge part of the problem is that we’re not having conversations about how the gospel is the balm for our desire to keep it all together. No one is talking about how God’s Word is the lamp our feet so desperately need because we’re fumbling and falling over our own self-sufficiency. Instead, we’re praised when playing with the idol of control. Enter Sharon. She is our wise pal, our gentle and knowledgeable pastor friend. With care, curiosity, and boldness she’s leading us to lay down control in a kingdom way. I am so grateful. Please read this book.”
Women
“Our young women need leaders who love God, love grace, and are passionate about the identities that are ours for the taking. As a mom, as a woman, as an author, and as a fan of this next generation—I'm so grateful for Allie Marie Smith and this book. We need it! Our girls need it! I highly recommend picking it up for a gal in your life.”
Women
“Alexandra Hoover is a strong, gracious leader who women need to hear from. She’s our gentle and firm friend, reminding us of the kingdom truth that we can let go but also compassionately guiding us through that process. This book is full of wise insight, generous stories, and practical tools to help women live free. It’s a must-read!”
