An Extra Mile

Fiction

“I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the Sensible Shoes books and hated to say goodbye to these wonderful characters. But An Extra Mile provided a fulfilling close to this great series. Thank you, Sharon, for enriching my life with these novels and teaching me so much about my own journey of spiritual transformation.”

By Way of the Moonlight

Fiction

“Elizabeth Musser’s beautifully written novel By Way of the Moonlight brings to life a little-known piece of WWII history. The characters in this touching double story stayed with me long after ‘the end.’ One of the best novels I’ve read this year.”

Feathers of Hope

Fiction

“In her novel Feathers of Hope, Sharon Garlough Brown sensitively portrays the struggles we're all familiar with—grief, loss, forgiveness, and trust in God during seasons of change. Subtly woven into her story and characters are valuable spiritual resources we can apply to our own journeys of recovery. As always in her beautiful novels, hope triumphs.”

From the Valley We Rise

Fiction

“Elizabeth Musser’s engaging novel of the French Resistance is a page-turner! Her knowledge of France plunges readers into the action, and her complex characters—fearful yet courageous—live and breathe. From the Valley We Rise is a wonderful story, rich in spiritual depth, that fans of WWII fiction shouldn’t miss.”

I'll Be Seeing You

Fiction

“Robin Lee Hatcher is at her best in this beautifully written double-feature romance. With one storyline in the present and one during World War II, readers are treated to two memorable heroines and their search for love, along with two true heroes. This touching story shines light on the difference between romantic passion and true love. A sigh-worthy read.”

Not Finished Yet

Children & Youth

“With her signature sensitivity and spiritual insight, Sharon Garlough Brown has penned a tender children's book that is sure to become a classic. Not Finished Yet helps readers (of all ages) acknowledge and express their unwelcome feelings of disappointment. This beautifully illustrated book is a treasure that I'm eager to share with my grandchildren.”

Shades of Light

Fiction

“Shades of Light is a beautiful, moving story filled with Sharon Garlough Brown's deep, spiritual insights. As a fan of artist Vincent van Gogh, I loved how the main characters, Wren and her mother, Jamie, drew from the faith of this 'companion in sorrow' as they faced the challenges of Wren's depression. Brown offers no pat answers to the questions raised by mental illness, but shows how joy and suffering are held in delicate balance through faith in the 'Man of Sorrows,' who is 'sorrowful but always rejoicing.' This is a powerful book, triumphant with hope.”

The Blackout Book Club

Fiction

“The Blackout Book Club is an engaging story that illustrates the power of books to unite and encourage us in trying times. The wonderfully diverse cast of quirky characters brings to life the shared worries and hopes of people on the WWII home front. A wonderful read.”

The Codebreaker's Daughter

“The Blackout Book Club is an engaging story that illustrates the power of books to unite and encourage us in trying times. The wonderfully diverse cast of quirky characters brings to life the shared worries and hopes of people on the WWII home front. A wonderful read.”

The Foxhole Victory Tour

The Promised Land

Fiction

“Elizabeth Musser’s novel The Promised Land transported me on two very memorable journeys. First, I savored the sights, smells, and tastes of France as I hiked the Camino with her unique characters. Second, was the touching journey of spiritual transformation these three pilgrims uncovered on their trek. So satisfying!”

Things We Didn't Say

Fiction

“This compelling novel of life on the US home front during World War II fascinated me from beginning to end. Things We Didn’t Say, told entirely through letters, newspaper accounts, and other documents, kept me turning pages as it shed light on our prejudices and the way our fear can prompt hatred. Amy Lynn Green’s characters wrestle with obeying Jesus’ command to love their enemies at a time when showing kindness to Americans of Japanese descent or to German prisoners of war might be interpreted as treason. And tucked between the pages is a gentle love story that provides the icing on this gem of a literary cake.”

To Wager Her Heart

Fiction

“For lovers of historical romance, To Wager Her Heart offers the very best of both history and romance. Tamera Alexander’s well-told story details the early years of Fisk University as a school for freedmen after the Civil War. I was fascinated from beginning to end. This thoroughly enjoyable novel proves why Tamera Alexander is one of the genre’s most beloved authors—and one of my favorites.”

When I Close My Eyes

Fiction

“Elizabeth Musser’s beautifully written novels are always unique and inspiring—and this is no exception. Christian novels don’t often feature characters who battle depression—or who are hit men! Yet Musser breathes life into her characters and makes you care. When I Close My Eyes will keep readers guessing and hoping until the very end. Thoroughly engaging!”
