Come Matter Here

Christian Living

“good as our latest win shared on social media, with a finish line always just out of reach, Hannah Brencher’s words will wash over you in waves with a permission to slow down and dig deeper in a world that is always running. You’ll be reminded that you were created for more than a highlight-reel kind of life and that your greatest work comes from the consistent act of showing up for people over and over again. For all of us who long to matter but are tired of running, this is the anthem we’ve been waiting for.”

If I Don't Laugh, I'll Cry

History & Biography

“For all of us who have lived hard parts of our story, both by the things that have happened to us and the things we brought on ourselves, this is the anthem we’ve been waiting for—a permission slip to laugh again, to live again, and to finally forgive ourselves for taking the long way around.”

That's Just Not True

Christian Living

“That’s Just Not True is the anthem we’ve been desperately waiting for! An invitation to stop chasing all the lies that promise us MORE and show up honestly for the messy, muddy, beautiful life right in front of us. Erica’s words—equal parts big-sister energy and the kind of hard-won warmth, wit, and wisdom that cannot be rushed—remind us that we have good work we were put here to do. And it has absolutely nothing to do with winning the world’s approval. Honestly, I needed this book twenty years ago! The world is a better place because Erica is in it.”

The Gift of the Unexpected

Christian Living

“This book is nothing short of extraordinary! I’m not sure I have ever had words on a page meet me so deeply, exactly where I am. For every single one of us who has been knocked to the floor these last few years, The Gift of the Unexpected offers us a way forward: by first going back. And this time truly leaning into the transformation offered. Jillian’s words are equal parts raw, real, and redemptive. I can’t wait to share this beautiful book with everyone I know!”

The Secure Soul

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“It is only the rarest of books--the rarest of authors, with the rarest of gifts for both words and wisdom--that make me want to burst into tears from the very first page. THIS is one of those books! I was hooked from the very first sentence and found myself going back and forth between wanting to DEVOUR this book in one sitting...and wanting to savor every syllable as slowly as I could to make sure it never ended. Here's the deal: When Dr. Alison Cook says anything, I pay attention. But THIS book? It is her most profound piece of work yet. I don't know how else to say it... this book is healing something in me that I thought would be forever broken. It's going to change SO many lives. What a gift she has given us... don't walk, RUN to get this beautiful, exceptional book in your hands!”

What If It's Wonderful?

Christian Living

“Nicole lays out a compelling case for celebration unlike any I have ever seen before. She takes our hand, walks us right up to the mirror, and sits with us while we stare into the truth that our whole lives are passing us by while we wait on what could go wrong. But in the pause of these pages, a new question emerges: Will we have the courage to lean into hope again? This book is both an anthem and a way forward; a light pointing us back to the thrill of hope on the horizon . . .”
