SO MUCH is happening with Encourage Publishing right now! First, our GIGANTIC NEWS I promised this fall is that Encourage Publishing titles are now on Christianbook.com!! This access has been years in the making. Christianbook.com carefully curates its catalog, so being included is one more affirmation that our titles are of the highest caliber - and, they provide deep discounts to our readers! Of course, you can still find all our titles on Amazon.com, B&N, Books-a-Million, Walmart, or order through your favorite bookseller. Now for some updates! Be sure to subscribe to be notified about all of our new releases.
ORDINARY ANGELS released SEPTEMBER 8, but the MOVIE release moved to FEBRUARY 23, 2024 - had to make room for Taylor Swift's movie! 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! in the meantime, Sharon Stevens Evans is busy making numerous guest appearances. Let us know if you catch her on the news!
COMING UP NEXT is an AMAZING interactive devotional by our own Deborah Hall Subetto, "Reflections from Shepherd's Gate Farm." Pre-Release for this book will start early NOVEMBER! I just can't get enough of this book. Illustrated by Deborah with beautiful but simple images to color, a listening track embedded into the pages, lots of dots, lines, and white space to reflect and doodle, poignant stories, but most importantly, deep and filling Scripture and application to help us GROW.
You remember Deborah - she JUST PUBLISHED Rooted in the King's Garden 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! (OH! You can now get the Rooted bundle on SALE NOW only at Christianbook.com!
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!
