In The Honesty of the Psalms Kelly invites readers to not only read each psalm but also to grasp the backstory, context, and meaning, allowing them to engage with the psalmist through understanding what he says and how he feels. Kelly shares his struggles with every psalm and invites people to grapple with their own struggles by responding to three questions that guide to deeper personal reflection. If we affirm and believe in a holy God who loves unholy people, then we also must affirm that the space we are in, and the feelings we have, can be laid upon God in whatever time and context we find ourselves—knowing that the God of redemption still redeems.

In Leaning on God’s Hope, Jamie Tidd helps guide the broken to a place of healing as she shares her story, offers reflections of hope, and presents Scripture that has helped her in her journey to healing. Readers will also get the opportunity to reflect on their own tragedies and think deeply about how they can begin their journey of hope and find their way back to God.

Jamie’s raw, heartfelt story will convey to readers the glimmers of hope she found within the deep abyss of grief and demonstrate how God is there for us, even in the darkest of times.

Do you think of your identity as how your family raised you? When people ask who you are, do you say I’m a mom or dad, or talk about your job? Do you define yourself by your successes or failures?

Confidently knowing your identity offers freedom from painful pasts, broken relationships, and empty idols. Yet so many of us struggle to get to this place.

Nancy Fujii knows this firsthand. After a traumatic childhood, she packed a suitcase and set her sights on a fresh start with a new identity. Struggling to find her true self, she tried controlling her life choices and began defining herself, which only led to self-destruction. Then she met Jesus, and her life turned upside-down.
