Revived: From the Me I Used to Be
By Kerrie Oles
In Revived: From the Me I Used to Be, Kerrie Oles shares her personal story of how she “woke from the dead” and began to grasp her life in Christ.
By Kerrie Oles
Jan's Endorsement
Ever thought you would die of embarrassment? Me too. It’s one of the most painful and lingering experiences of our lives. If we allow it shame, pain and embarrassment will drive us into a grave of timidity, apathy and numbness, bringing a death to places in our hearts that were meant to flourish and bloom. How do you move from death to life? In Revived: From the Me I Used to Be, Kerrie Oles shares her personal story of how she “woke from the dead” and began to grasp her life in Christ. Yet Kerrie goes further. She doesn’t just share her story, she offers to lead others out of the grave and into the light of real life. As I read this book, I was reminded of Lazarus. He was dead. Really dead. Yet at a word from Jesus, he was revived. When you hold this book in your hands you will be equipped to respond to a word from your Lord that will bring healing, restoration and even resurrection in the areas of your life that have suffered a form of death. I recommend this book to men and women who want to experience the overcoming power of love and really live.
A Bump in Life: True Stories of Hope & Courage During an Unplanned Pregnancy
By Amy Ford
As you read A Bump in Life, you sit in the shoes of many of those young women and experience the power of acceptance over judgment, hope over despair and life over death.
By Amy Ford
Jan's Endorsement
For many of us, some of the greatest blessings of our lives began with an “Oh no!” moment. What we thought was the end of something was in fact the birth of a new beginning. So it was for Amy Ford and the countless young women she has walked through an unplanned pregnancy. Having had a front row seat to the birth of Embrace Grace, I can say with certainty that Amy is truly a Titus 2 woman. She offers a young and inexperienced mom her wisdom, encouragement and love. As you read A Bump in Life, you sit in the shoes of many of those young women and experience the power of acceptance over judgment, hope over despair and life over death. Amy’s story, her heart to serve, and her willingness to pay the price to help another gives me hope – hope for these babies, hope for these women and hope for the Church.

by Katie M Reid
Jan's Endorsement
I’m a doer. Maybe you are too. I work hard, love to check off my “to do” list and enjoy feeling accomplished. At least I did until I was diagnosed with a serious illness. My new limitations caused me to question my value and purpose. In Made Like Martha, Good News for the Woman Who Gets Things Done, Katie M. Reid helped me recalibrate and find strength in service and peace, even when busy and weak. She speaks to the deepest places of fear and fatigue that often chase after first responders, primary care givers and those who love to take charge, leading us to give up a life style of striving while embracing a new way of living - settled, even when busy. If you ever had a secret sympathy for Martha, you will love this book and you will love Katie. Prepare to be encouraged.

Misunderstood: A Journey Exploring the Nature of God
By Andrea Joy Moede
n Misunderstood, A Journey Exploring the Nature of God, Andrea Joy Moede pulls back the curtain of confusion between man and God.
By Andrea Joy Moede
Jan's Endorsement
God longs to be known and understood. The same longing exists in the human heart. We crave connection that is safe and assumes the best of our motives, actions and thoughts. When we are misunderstood, it hurts. Yet we are quick to misjudge and question God’s heart toward us. In Misunderstood, Andrea Joy Moede pulls back the curtain of confusion between man and God. She shares eye-opening revelation and perspective on His unchanging, grace-filled nature that will eliminate misunderstanding and produce a deeper, more intimate trust in God. Our need for connection can only be satisfied as we believe in and experience the “unfathomable, non-judgmental, absolutely immersing kind of love” that is found in the heart of God.
No Longer an Orphan: Never Abandoned, Never Alone
By Dana Stone
When you hold No Longer an Orphan: Never Abandoned, Never Alone in your hand, it is as if you are pulling up a chair at Dana’s knee.
By Dana Stone
Jan's Endorsement
Dana Stone has an uncanny ability to put others at ease. Over the years, I’ve watched countless men and women quietly draw near, sit down at her knee and wait to receive encouragement, counsel and even revelation. Each one comes for something different. Some need reassurance, some to find salvation, some to have their gifts revealed and some to overcome feelings of rejection, isolation or loss. With careful attention, Dana reaches into the depths of her love walk with Christ and pulls out the perfect pearl or two of God’s love. Every pearl reveals an aspect of God’s love and faithfulness. People are able to receive those pearls and be healed, renewed and empowered to walk more fully with God.
When you hold No Longer an Orphan: Never Abandoned, Never Alone in your hand, it is as if you are pulling up a chair at Dana’s knee. She will quietly draw you, create a place of safety, and begin to share her personal story of overcoming loneliness that somehow has life-giving application for you. As you read, you will reach out and grasp hold of a display of love revealed through the beautiful pearls of His character, and you will be changed. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever struggled to feel accepted, valued or loved.

By Cristie Penn
Jan's Endorsement
In Keys of Truth: Unlocking God’s Divine Design for the Sexes, Cristie Penn takes the discussion of gender to a new level. She serves as the master mentor, transparently sharing from her own life stories, offering keys to greater understanding of our identity in Christ and teaching us how to grow in our value and respect for the opposite sex. I highly recommend this book to anyone who desires to communicate more effectively, love more deeply and build a lifelong love for others.
Ever After: The Truth Behind the Happily
By Alicia Guzzardo
In Ever After, The Truth Behind the Happily, I found myself easily relating and joyfully celebrating Alicia Guzzardo’s story of how she was set free from fear and found her value in Christ alone.
By Alicia Guzzardo
Jan's Endorsement
As a young woman I struggled with great insecurities. I worried about what others thought, fretted over my appearance and struggled to be sure I was a part of the right crowd and doing the right things. I loved God and was obedient to my parents, but on the inside my heart was tossed and torn by all kinds of fear. As I read Ever After, The Truth Behind the Happily, I found myself easily relating and joyfully celebrating Alicia Guzzardo’s story of how she was set free from fear and found her value in Christ alone. Alicia can help you too. She frankly addresses the secret thoughts, hopes and dreams of a young woman and helps her learn to bring her desires and thoughts captive to Christ alone. She speaks up about sex, dating, boyfriends, dreams, insecurity and waiting. I’d recommend this book to every young woman, to every mom of a young woman, and to every one of us who have wrestled with deep-seated questions about our value, purpose and dreams.
Hope Prevails Bible Study: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression
By Dr. Michelle Bengtson
In Hope Prevails, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides some profound wisdom for us all.
By Dr. Michelle Bengtson
Jan's Endorsement
I often see the long-term and devastating effects of the hard to define, hard to leave behind, ravages of depression. It seeks to wear down and wear out our hope. When seeking to help another caught in despair, I’m acutely aware of how inadequate I am to help them, realizing that Christian platitudes and casual verses only serve to make them feel more alone or misunderstood. In Hope Prevails, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides some profound wisdom for us all. By sharing her own transparent journey of recovery, Michelle offers a break-through approach that focuses on the spiritual component of recovery as a means to overcome. This book finds the cross roads between treatment and faith. What you hold in your hand is a rare gift. It’s hard to find a person who will be so honest about his or her own struggle in order to help you with yours. It’s a double blessing when that person also possesses the expertise, experience and grace to meet your needs. I recommend this book, and this woman, to those caught in the trap of depression. There is hope and it does prevail.
