What might happen if you and your family found ways to be thankful every day? 
Most of us admit to being overworked, hurried, anxious, lonely, and battered by uncertainty.
We want to be thankful for all that we have, but the chaos of our lives holds us back. We know that experiencing gratitude can reduce our stress, lead to a happier home, and make us feel more optimistic about ourselves and the world around us. Yet our ability to be grateful often ebbs and flows. When life is good, it’s easy to feel grateful, but when life is full of hurts and challenges, gratitude takes a back seat.
But the hope of more—more peace, more Jesus, more appreciation for the people in our lives that often go overlooked—keeps us trying to find ways to be thankful. In The One Year Daily Acts of Gratitude Devotional, through relatable stories, encouraging Scripture, and reflection questions, we are invited to shift our focus and increase our gratitude.
Each day this year, find easy-to-do ideas for incorporating gratitude into our lives and uncover the good that God was doing all along.

If you were to pick one word for the year, what would it be?
Invite . . . Abide . . . Balance . . . Simplify . . . ?
Every
January, many of us proclaim our word for the year, choosing something
inspiring that will help us set our intention for the coming months. But
what would happen if rather than choosing one word for an entire year
(because let's face it, some of us forget by March), we focused on one
good word each day—one thought-provoking, spiritually relevant, and
encouraging word that reveals the many lovely and delightful truths of
who Jesus is in our lives?
One Good Word a Day offers
simple, but deeply spiritual meditations that will help readers linger
on one word each day so they can identify and reflect on how Jesus as
the Word influences their daily lives.
Jesus is more than one word. He offers us abundance, hope, peace, kindness, courage, mercy, and so much more. One Good Word a Day reminds readers that in Christ, we find all we need to live encouraged and uplifted every day.
One Good Word a Day: 365 Invitations to Encourage, Deepen, and Refine Your Faith is now available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Tyndale, Christian Book Distributors and more!

These early interactions shape the way girls view themselves and others and will continue to influence them throughout their lives, positively or negatively. The devotions in 100 Daily Acts of Friendship for Girls will allow girls to explore the rewards and challenges of building quality friendships both now and in the future.
Also included are 50 sidebars with activities that provide practical ideas for creating and sustaining strong friendships.

As the four of us began to discuss the Beatitudes, we studied different versions of the Bible and consulted secondary theological sources for a more comprehensive understanding of what these seemingly upside-down words of Jesus mean, and we realized the vast difference between what most people consider a blessing and what God’s favor might actually look like.
While writing Grace for the Misfits, a 31-day devotional, we came across an old Jewish truth passed down through the generations:
The old Rabbi said, "In olden days there were men who saw the face of God."
"Why don't they any more?" a young student asked.
"Because, nowadays no one stoops so low," he replied. (source unknown)
But what does it mean—what does it look like—to stoop low?
This is the question we sought to answer through the challenging verses laid out before us in the Beatitudes. What does it mean to be poor in spirit? Meek? Persecuted? We wrestled through the passages, pouring prayers and tears and honest conversations over these words of Jesus. What we wrote is an outpouring of the work God is undertaking in each of our hearts. Have we arrived? No, not even close. But we’ve begun a journey toward understanding God in a deeper way. It’s our first attempt to stoop low. And we hope you’ll join us. Now available on Amazon in hard copy and as an e-book.
Need a little encouragement in your motherhood? Check out Grace for the Imperfect Mom:
As moms, we constantly juggle many things—schedules, appointments, meetings, activities, chores—along with the emotional, mental, and spiritual care of our children. On days when dinner burns, the kids are pulling each other’s hair out and stepping on your last nerve, you may wonder if you’re patient enough, kind enough, or just plain good enough to be a mom. It’s enough to make you bend under the pressure if you think too much about it!
Join four women on a 31-day devotional journey as they share encouragement and insights on faith, joy, self-control, and more while weaving in lessons learned through bedtime battles, homework hangups, grocery store meltdowns, and the beautiful moments waiting to be found among it all.
Find encouragement and a reminder of the goals we strive for as mothers, a remembrance on our not-so-good days that there is something greater being produced in us and our children, as we learn to lean on God for all that we need. Grace for what happens today, grace over our past, our future, and the families whose lives we influence each day. Grace for all us imperfect mamas out there. Get your copy here!
Curious about our first book, The Ruth Experience?
Have you wondered if your life has a story worth telling? Can you relate to the stories of women in the Bible, or do you seem to have little in common? The Ruth Experience takes a closer look at the story of Ruth and Naomi and the key truths we can apply to our own lives today.
Ruth and Naomi watched their dreams die, felt anger toward God, trusted God in the midst of trials, had faith to move before seeing God move, and experienced redemption—all lessons that remain relevant and critical to women today. The Ruth Experience includes modern-day testimonies from women who have experienced God during the trials and triumphs of life. Pertinent questions will help you uncover your own story of what God has done, empowering and encouraging you to share the story of God's power in your life. Discover the power of recognizing and sharing your story of faith with those around you.

Additionally, The Ruth Experience is a wonderful women's Bible study that can be done individually or in a small group setting. Each chapter ends with questions to further conversation and start discussion of how our story relates to those in the Bible.
