The Freedom of Surrender
Mary DeMuth invites you to journey through forty days of entrusting specific areas of your life to God—your inner struggles, your family, your expectations, your regrets, your ministry, your grief, your relationships, your job, your health, your finances, your future, and more. Moms will learn how to trust that God is in control, even in moments of chaos and stress, and how true joy and freedom can happen when we release what we're holding too tightly.
Claimed by God
God has uniquely created each one of us. In the Scriptures, he has a lot to say about who we are and how we can live with fullness of hope. Claimed by God helps moms remember their identity as a daughter of God through thirty statements about the joy, confidence, and hope that God has instilled in us. These declarations are grounded in Scripture and supported by guided prayers that fuel assurance, strength, and gratitude for God's unchanging love.
Moms at the Well + Moms on the Way
The authors of this Bible study pair know personally that motherhood is hard. Through studying women in Scripture, Moms at the Well offers moms of any age a gathering place to encourage one another, take an honest look at the challenges we face as moms, and experience the God who invites us into a process of spiritual transformation. The next study, Moms on the Way, offers moms a chance to journey through the challenges of motherhood together, share honestly about your struggles and hopes, and encounter the God who invites you into a process of spiritual transformation.
Press Pause
This book is a mom's invitation to pause, pivot, and discover renewed peace and purpose, not by adding more to an overloaded schedule, but by integrating time with God into the moments you already have. Discover a renewed awareness of God's presence, guidance on how to pause on purpose in quiet time with God, and how a healthy spiritual life leads to greater care for others.
Come Away and Rest
For moms who feel inundated on all sides, overwhelmed by endless consumption, and hungry for satisfaction, this book is your invitation to step away from the noise of a hurried world and into the sustaining presence of God. This thoughtful guide offers step-by-step instructions for customizing six types of personal retreats that you can practice from anywhere. Whether you're new to the idea of retreats or looking for fresh guidance, this book is a nurturing companion for spiritual growth.
Sacred Rhythms
For moms seeking deep spiritual change, greater intimacy with God, or guidance on how to live their lives as God created them to, Sacred Rhythms invites you into a spiritual journey that nurtures your soul while aligning your daily life with the presence of God. Drawing from the monastic tradition of creating a rule of life, this book equips readers to integrate spiritual disciplines into their everyday routines, paving the way for authentic spiritual transformation that can only be brought about by God.
The Art of Living in Season
This beautifully-illustrated devotional invites readers to follow Jesus in whatever season of life they are in, beginning by keeping in step with the rhythms of nature and the church calendar. Structured as weekly reflections and illustrated with the author's own botanical illustrations, The Art of Living in Season is a companion for everyday saints who wonder how they can follow Jesus—and what they can give him—wherever, whenever, and whoever they are.
Sensible Shoes
In this best-selling novel, Sharon Garlough Brown tells the moving story of four strangers as they embark together on a journey of spiritual formation. You're invited to join these four women as they reluctantly arrive at a retreat center and find themselves drawn out of their separate stories of isolation and struggle and into a collective journey of spiritual practice, mutual support and personal revelation.
Awaken Delight
In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle connects scriptural and theological truth to your everyday life so you can experience what delighting in God really means. It's not about checking boxes on a spiritual to-do list or mustering a constant state of positive feelings. Rather, delight is about satisfying your soul's deepest longing through a vibrant relationship with the living God.
Our Church Speaks
This book invites you on a year-long journey, connecting you with fifty-two remarkable saints from across continents and centuries, from Polycarp of the first century to the martyrs of modern-day Sudan. With stunning illustrations and history by Ben Lansing and devotional reflections by D.J. Marotta, these saints, from every continent and century of church history, illustrate God’s faithfulness in all times and demonstrate the historic church's relevance for Christians today.
