SO MUCH is happening with Encourage Publishing right now! First, our BIG, BIG NEWS that Encourage Publishing is now a member of the Evangelical Christian Publishing Association!
Not only do we now have access to tools and resources that will make us better at what we do and expand the reach of our authors, but we are in a position to learn from the best. Having already met with several key members, I am personally thrilled to be in the company of wise and welcoming colleagues who share our passion and mission. And, the validation of our work is also pretty encouraging to us! We have some other GIGANTIC NEWS coming this fall, and I cannot WAIT to tell you - but I must. All I can say is, God is moving and we're working as hard as possible to keep up with Him. Now for some updates! Be sure to subscribe to be notified about all of our new releases.
ORDINARY ANGELS releases SEPTEMBER 8, just a few short weeks ahead of the movie which you will find in theaters nationwide October 13. We have heard from a number of our early reviewers who were so inspired by the book. This amazing true story that became an international inspiration stars Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson. One woman with a calling, one little girl in need, one devastating storm, and one entire city unite and prove what can be done when we all work together. You are going to "feel all the feels" as my kids like to say, and it's all true. Listen - don't try to hurry God. Had we published when we first hoped to, we would not have had the privilege of including the eyewitness account and incredible closing thoughts of Dave Stone, retired pastor from Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. I just cannot WAIT for you to read this book!
Rooted in the King's Garden by Deborah Subetto released June 17! A DELIGHTFUL children's book with a companion adult version to give children and their caregivers a fun, engaging, entertaining way to talk about God and learn from the Bible. Charming full-color illustrations, activity pages, and adorable animal stories lead the way, straight from Shepherd's Gate Farm. I LOVE this project. Why these books? Because talking to your kids about God should be easier. Now, it is! Check out the amazing REVIEWS on Amazon and put this on your Christmas list!
Deborah has another book debuting this year, an absolutely charming devotional and coloring book that will transport you into a bucolic place where you can meet the Lord. Reflections will release later this fall!
Sister, I Feel Ya by Kim Dafferner debuted at #1 as the top new release in Christian Leadership this March, and is still going strong! A refreshingly "no holds barred" call to action for Christian women to rise into their calling, the perfect book club or Bible study pick!
God's Rock and Roll Army is now in production on an exciting audiobook, expected to release winter 2024. I'll post a trailer as soon as I can! Look for a documentary by 53 Films on the man and book in 2024.
This coming April 2024, prepare your kids for the wonder that is found in the Great Wilderness, the land where Mapaline lives along with her fellow treeborns! Early reviews are over the MOON and our beta readers already cannot WAIT to read the next book in the series!
