TIMES OF RENEWAL by IAN R. HALL released AUGUST 10!
Guess what! I've got great news. Revival is alive and well and spreading throughout the planet! No, it's not a series of tent meetings. No, it's not an experience only for a certain denomination. And, YES it's been a part of the faith experience from the very beginning. Learn the history, find the footprints of revival in your own life. Fascinating read for the curious and a must for serious students of the Christian faith worldwide.

April 2, 2024: Mapaline: Book One of the Treeborn Trilogy
Mapaline, the wildly adventurous daughter of the Maple family, is faced with a dangerous quest that will leave her family and friends at risk—but may save them all.
If you loved Narnia and Middle Earth (and who doesn't!), if you devoured The Green Ember or Wingfeather Saga series, you will love these books. We don't want to keep you waiting, so expect Book Two this October and Book Three next April! Available by order at your favorite bookstore, on Amazon, and right here. Soon, you'll see it on Christianbook.com! Great for all family members, we've got this reading-rated for age 7 and up, but really, adults will love it just as much, and will want to read it to their littles. (I have read Book Two and can't wait to read Book Three myself, I'm so excited!) Ryan recently was interviewed about his publishing and writing experience, such an insightful podcast; so much so that we wrote a new blog about it ("The Thing in the Pool" above) with a link so you can listen.
Ah, but that's not all! Just last week, Encourage Books went INTERNATIONAL! We are very excited and honored to announce that we now have a contract with RIGGINS RIGHTS MANAGEMENT, a company with deep roots in the international book publishing market who will represent our titles for licensing and translation worldwide, expanding the global reach of our titles' important messages. In the past twenty years, Riggins Rights Management has issued over 8,500 agreements in 75 languages, resulting in 10+ million products distributed and impacting an estimated 20+ million people. With a team of experienced rights professionals stationed around the globe, they have the ability to take our authors' books into markets we could never otherwise access. And, that's not all! In a short time, we will have another big announcement, all pointing to this: God is at work here at Encourage Publishing, and we are growing quickly to rise into the incredibly important work at hand, a humbling and awesome responsibility we take very seriously.
Other news: You may wonder how ORDINARY ANGELS is doing! Have you seen the movie yet? It's about to release to streaming services and is now being shown overseas in 14 countries and counting, with rave reviews. The book is almost SOLD OUT so we are planning our second printing and...we are now in production on a SPANISH version! Find your copy wherever books are sold, on Amazon, Christianbook.com, or right here.
And still, there's more! This year, in addition to the next Treeborn Trilogy, we'll have a long-anticipated audiobook, a charming children's Christmas book, an incredibly important book about the miraculous revivals you've heard are happening worldwide, and more.
In development: A man serving time in federal prison for murder writes a book to the young men about to make the same mistakes he made. Another young man carrying the burden of over 1,000 orphans in a war-torn country writes to teach them how to lead their country toward peace. Two passionate music artists combine forces with many other to produce a musical project designed to reach the hearts of the grieving and help them move toward healing.
