Strong Women & Strong Marriages

Ned and Leslie Bustard have spent years studying scripture to learn how to think about and write these books. Strong Allies focuses on God’s design for women and Among the Lilies on God’s plan for lovemaking in marriage. Allow yourself to be shaped by God’s Word when you reflect on these important issues!

New Poetry!

“These are poems to read slowly, near an open Bible, perhaps just before dawn or after dusk when what we thought we knew is once again made permeable to shocking possibilities.” —Marilyn McEntyre

Hmmm . . .

Roy Salmond is an award-winning music producer and the writer of Between the Notes, a weekly reflection on the wonder, heartache, and hope that accompanies us all through the days we’ve been given. This trilogy collects his musings into three volumes: ART, FAITH, and LIFE. The series feature forewords by Bruce Herman, Malcolm Guite, and John Swinton.
CLICK HERE to buy all three as a discounted set!

Saint Francis

“If you love prayer, poetry, and art, and if you have felt any measure of admiration for the life of Saint Francis, then you will love this book. It will not only deepen your appreciation for the Franciscan way, it will inspire you to embrace that way for yourself. This is a book that’s guaranteed to go to the top of my devotional books.” —W. David O. Taylor
