timeless fairytales.</p><p>This ebook covers why fairytales matter, how they fit within the Classical Christian Tradition, narration &amp; discussion prompts, resources for teachers or parents, and Scripture connections. A comprehensive JrK-6th grade Scope &amp; Sequence lays out the progression of stories fitted to age, interest, and moral development. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Teachers, Parents, Children, Homeschools, Schools, Fairytale Lovers</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>I wanted to create a guide for parents or teachers that would help them understand the Fairytale Tradition, how to approach Christian symbolism and meaning in fairytales, and practical ways to read fairytales with children. I believe the patterns in fairytales are reminiscent of patterns in the Bible and that fairytales prime children&#8217;s imaginations and affections in a way that helps them understand, appreciate, and long for God&#8217;s Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. This is an educational resource, but it is also meant to equip Christians for conversation around fairytales. </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://stclairenigma.gumroad.com/l/fplezb&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Gumroad&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://stclairenigma.gumroad.com/l/fplezb"><span>Gumroad</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.com/@hannahstclaire&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://substack.com/@hannahstclaire"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p>I write about fairytales and children&#8217;s literature within the Classical Christian Tradition on my substack. My Searching for Fairyland series explores themes, symbols, and histories of common fairytales, as well as Biblical and educational connections. </p><p>I have worked in Christian education for the past ten years, as a classroom teacher, school librarian, and academic specialist. I am greatly inspired by the fairytale philosophy of George MacDonald, and two of my favorite children&#8217;s fantasy stories are The Hobbit and The Wind in the Willows. </p><p>I believe fairytales draw children and adults alike into the mystery and splendor of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. I desire to help others delight in the rich stories of our past, for they teach us about God, mankind, and the world both seen and unseen. </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#129293; Closing</h2><p>At the Christian Book Finder, we highlight Christ-centered books that nourish faith and strengthen the soul.</p><p>If you are an indie author with a faith-centered book, we&#8217;d love to hear from you. &#128218;</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/timeless-tales-for-lasting-virtue?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/timeless-tales-for-lasting-virtue?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>Affiliate Disclosure</h2><p>Some links in this article may be affiliate links.

Add to that Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at age 6 causing me chronic pain that increased with age. </p><p>Being the smallest kid in the school, being the target of bullying till 12th grade, not being able to do any sports made me feel like I had to hide my pain trying to fit in. Graduating at 16, I started college on a disability scholarship and lasted 3 semesters of me trying to be &#8220;normal&#8221; and having a nervous breakdown. The college arraigned to freeze my scholarship and allowed me to leave without penalization. What I thought they were saying was &#8220;You are a failure, a loser and a disgrace&#8221; which spun my pain driven depression to new depths. </p><p>My friends thought I needed to relax and took me to a bar and month of that involvement ended up with me being able to drink all my friends under the table. I had inherited my mother&#8217;s alcoholism and added drugs to self-medicate and began sinking faster. The pain increased till it seemed the only escape to my pain driven, drinking and now behavior only had one way out. </p><p>I met a girl who brought me to church where I found out that Jesus was real. Once I surrendered myself to Christ, He delivered me from drinking and drugs, demon possession, a hemorrhaging ulcer and once I was surrendered, He then called me to preach in a audible voice. Once I received Jesus&#8217;s love I was mentored on how to live for Christ. As time went on, I came to realize that I was 20 years old and had no clue who Jesus is. What if I had been told when I was a child, what kind of life would He have done in me? I married a woman with the same vision and heart and had 3 children that doctors said could never happen. That opened me to figure out how to reach kids and families introducing them to the love of God. </p><p>That motivated me to be excellent at what we do therefore I would seek professional magicians, storytellers, puppeteers, and ventriloquists, and then I became trained by Ringling Brothers professional clowns to become a Master Clown. From that I created The Kid&#8217;s-Celebration Circus which I took internationally sharing the goodness of God&#8217;s love. We toured for 12 years full time 48 weeks a year and 20 shows per week. </p><p>Eventually medically, I had to leave the road and began starting churches successfully. </p><p>I taught seminars I wrote, 8 manuals/Seminars and trained in countless seminars and classes. I annually toured 48 weeks of churches, youth camps and school shows across America and were featured on TV, radio, magazines and podcasts. </p><p>In the Salvation Army where I serve as an Officer/pastor, one location the need required me to become trained in disaster response including being certified in Critical Incident Stress Management and Grief, Trauma and Loss by the highly respected author, trainer and responder, H. Norman Wright who then mentored me for 6 years. After all that training I then became an internationally dispatched trainer in all these topics empowering hundreds so they also could train lives in crisis. </p><p>I also ended up serving as Chaplain for Fire Departments, Police, Salvation Army disaster responses and hospital and institutional locations. </p><p>After serving for over 50 years, we retired and I began doing award winning photography and wrote my first internationally published book: &#8220;<em><strong>When the Doctors say NO!

Eli</a></strong></em> is a gentle Christian picture book for young children that explores the experience of worry and anxiety through the eyes of a seven-year-old boy. When Eli begins to notice the uncomfortable feelings that sometimes accompany worry, his grandmother teaches him that he can bring all of his concerns to God through prayer. As Eli learns to express his fears honestly, give thanks for the good things in his life and trust in God&#8217;s care, he discovers a sense of peace and courage. </p><p>Inspired by Philippians 4:6&#8211;7, this heartwarming story offers practical, faith-based tools to help children navigate big emotions while deepening their relationship with God. It also includes discussion points and Scripture references to encourage meaningful conversations between children and the adults who love them.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>This book is primarily written for children aged 4&#8211;8 years old. It is particularly suited to children who experience worry or anxiety and would benefit from a simple, reassuring introduction to prayer and emotional expression. It is also a valuable resource for Christian parents, grandparents, teachers, children&#8217;s ministry leaders, and counsellors seeking to help children develop healthy coping strategies rooted in faith.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>As both a primary school teacher and a Christian, I have seen firsthand that children often experience worries that can feel overwhelming, yet they do not always have the language or tools to process those emotions. </p><p>I wanted to create a story that acknowledges the reality of childhood anxiety while pointing children towards the comfort and peace that can be found in God. Inspired by Philippians 4:6&#8211;7, <em><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4vzqF9p">Meet Eli</a></strong></em> encourages children to pray honestly, practise gratitude and understand that God cares deeply about every aspect of their lives.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4vzqF9p&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4vzqF9p"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.com/@claudiabiney&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://substack.com/@claudiabiney"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p>Claudia Biney is a primary school teacher, writer, and creator of educational resources based in London.

Jesus in Forty Snapshots: A Narrative-Theological Journey from Eternity to Eternity</a></strong></em> presents an accessible yet rigorous exploration of the person and work of Jesus Christ. Structured in eight carefully balanced parts, the book traces the arc of the biblical narrative&#8212;beginning before Bethlehem, moving through the incarnation and earthly ministry, and extending into the triumph of resurrection and the unending glory that follows.</p><p>Blending narrative theology with exegetical reflection, historical awareness, and pastoral sensitivity, each snapshot functions as a focused study on a pivotal scene in the life of Christ. Rather than offering a conventional &#8220;Life of Jesus,&#8221; this work reads the Gospels within the canon&#8217;s larger redemptive tapestry, demonstrating how Christ&#8217;s story is the fulfillment of the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, as well as the culmination of Israel&#8217;s long-awaited hope.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Young adults and adults </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>A desire to blend biblical scholarship with devotional writing, all geared towards glorifying the Lord Jesus.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4oRDgCk&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4oRDgCk"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.com/@irishbaptist&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://substack.com/@irishbaptist"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;J Neil Daniels&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:260855954,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f0e1d40c-1244-4b05-ab92-d8448596f9de_864x1098.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;d069de6b-a19b-4ceb-9635-615297afef57&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> is a theologian and writer focusing on systematic and historical theology.

None of the sermons I had heard or preached fully explained the meaning and implications of this miracle. Join me on my journey and discover:</p><p>Why the cross alone could never save us</p><p>Compelling evidence that the tomb really was empty</p><p>How the resurrection can change fear into love, despair into joy, guilt and shame into forgiveness and freedom.</p><p>A renewed hope for our own physical resurrection.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>This book is for those interested in the evidence for Christianity, for believers who wonder if Easter has become overly familiar to them, for pastors who long to preach the resurrection with clarity and power, and for Christians who want to grow in union with Jesus.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>Spurgeon said he couldn&#8217;t find any books on the resurrection.

I wondered if this was the end of my story. I was not strong enough to live for Jesus the way I wanted to. I could not change myself. And then hope reminded me:</p><blockquote><p>Jesus doesn&#8217;t just give us time to change. He patiently helps us grow.</p></blockquote><p>My journey is not one of miraculous healing, but of seeing my life crumble. Then, through a slow process of healing and rebuilding, I learnt:</p><blockquote><p>The resurrection really does change everything. Just not all at once. </p></blockquote><p>Healing takes time. Compassion and patience sustain us over a lifetime of change.</p><p>In my writing I wrestle with big questions like: </p><ul><li><p>What does Jesus&#8217; resurrection mean for you?</p></li><li><p>Why is change so difficult?

the Greener Pastures, she could save herself too. With the guidance of mysterious Jesse Benadam, this seems possible&#8212;if she can hide her wounds from him. But the farther they travel, the clearer it becomes that secrecy will cost her the refuge she seeks.</p><p>As storms rage, wild beasts attack, injuries throb, and sickness steals her strength, Ella&#8217;s fears hunt her like wolves. Jesse&#8217;s presence never wavers, but she cannot bring herself to trust him until she begins to suspect that the key to reaching the Greener Pastures may lie with him.</p><p>The problem? She will have to tell him the truth about herself and their mission&#8212;risking his rejection. Deep down, Ella knows this is her greatest desire, but it is also her greatest fear. </p><p>This allegorical Christian story challenges readers to trust the Shepherd with their whole hearts. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Teenagers and young adults </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>When I was a senior in high school, I began struggled with a dark time of loneliness and grief.

Dial shares her raw and authentic journey through near-abortion, suicidal despair, and the heavy weight of guilt.

Readers will be encouraged to move from pain to purpose, discover their God-given identity, and walk in the freedom of Christ&#8217;s redeeming love.&#8221;</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Anyone struggling with shame and guilt that causes them to live from a broken identity.

I was raised in church, yet was living from a place of religion.  It was not until I discovered a true relationship with Jesus that everything changed.  </p><p>Now, I am on a mission to bring this matter into the light because I believe there are FAR too many of us who secretly hide our sin and shame within the church.  We need to be willing to have the hard conversations and expose the darkness that keeps us bound.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4eGLN7E&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4eGLN7E"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://theworthywomb.substack.com/&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://theworthywomb.substack.com/"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;The Worthy Womb &#183; Amy Dial&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:20584074,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cf00f872-383d-4a7f-b8ef-b90bec8668e7_739x739.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;fb9a50f5-063d-41e5-8dcb-0d05f24a1c42&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> -  Amy Baker Dial is the founder of Fit 4 The Kingdom, a Spirit-led ministry devoted to restoring women to their God-given identity in Christ. With a bold voice and a compassionate heart, Amy equips women from every walk of life to rise in wholeness, freedom, and strength. She believes that every woman was created in the image of God, and whether she already knows Jesus or is still searching for fulfillment in all the wrong places, the answer she longs for is found in Him. When women remember who they are in Christ, they step into a Kingdom authority that transforms not only their own lives but also the lives of everyone around them.</p><p>Her journey has been marked by both brokenness and redemption. Supernaturally rescued by Jesus inside a Houston abortion clinic moments before an abortion and a planned suicide, Amy knows firsthand the depths of despair and the power of God&#8217;s saving love. For years, she carried shame and guilt, but through the healing presence of Jesus, she discovered forgiveness, freedom, and a renewed sense of identity. Out of that healing came her passion to see other women &#8212; whether daughters of the King who feel bound by religion or seekers who have yet to meet Him &#8212; set free, restored, and reconciled to their Creator.</p><p>Through Spirit-led coaching, identity mentorship, and public speaking, Amy ministers to women who feel trapped in the lies of the enemy and burdened by the weight of their past. Her signature message, &#8220;Remember who you are&#8221;, calls women to step out of captivity and walk in the freedom Jesus purchased for them. In addition to one-on-one identity coaching, she leads women&#8217;s Spirit-led fitness bootcamps and online communities that bring together spiritual nourishment and purposeful movement. Her ministry equips women to experience wholeness in mind, body, and spirit, rising in strength, freedom, and truth.</p><p>Amy&#8217;s book, &#8220;Ring of Fire&#8221;, carries the heartbeat of her testimony: that no one is too far gone for the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. With prophetic insight and a deeply personal story, she invites readers to see their pain through the lens of God&#8217;s refining fire &#8212; not as destruction, but as restoration. Her prayer is that every reader would step out of the prison of shame and into the abundant life of wholeness God has already prepared for them.</p><p>At the core of everything Amy does is her belief in Kingdom community. She often says, &#8220;Working as one, we make a Kingdom Lift.&#8221; She is passionate about equipping and encouraging the Body of Christ to rise together as a united army of love, truth, and freedom.</p><p>Amy lives her mission daily, empowering women to see themselves as God sees them: chosen, loved, and unstoppable in Christ.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#129293; Closing</h2><p>At the Christian Book Finder, we highlight Christ-centered books that nourish faith and strengthen the soul.</p><p>If you are an indie author with a faith-centered book, we&#8217;d love to hear from you. &#128218;</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/ring-of-fire-a-journey-through-pain?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/ring-of-fire-a-journey-through-pain?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>Affiliate Disclosure</h2><p>Some links in this article may be affiliate links.

Comes</a></strong></em> explores the Book of Ruth through a historically grounded and contextually rich lens. Set during one of the darkest periods in Israel&#8217;s history, it follows an ordinary family through famine, exile, devastating loss, and grief. Along the way, we witness God&#8217;s hesed&#8212;His steadfast loving-kindness and grace&#8212;extended to two vulnerable widows: Naomi, a wandering Israelite returning to her God, and Ruth, a foreigner who embraces Yahweh for the first time.</p><p>Though God often works quietly behind the scenes, His presence, goodness, and redemptive purposes are woven throughout the story. As His character is revealed, our own identity becomes clearer. The hope God offered Naomi, Ruth, and ultimately all of Israel through Ruth&#8217;s offspring is the same hope He offers us today through His Son, Jesus Christ.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4uzn8GI">When Hope Comes</a></strong> is for Christians who desire to go deeper into Scripture and better understand the historical and theological richness of the Book of Ruth. It is also for those exploring Christianity, as Ruth&#8217;s story beautifully reflects the larger biblical narrative&#8212;from brokenness and loss to redemption and hope through God&#8217;s grace.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>The inspiration behind <em><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4uzn8GI">When Hope Comes</a></strong></em> began with a simple desire to explore the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, especially as a mother of three daughters-in-law myself. But as I studied the Book of Ruth more deeply, the story unfolded into something far greater than I had ever imagined&#8212;a powerful picture of God&#8217;s providence, redemption, identity, and unfailing love woven through ordinary lives marked by loss, grief, and hope.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/4giXNgP&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/4giXNgP"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://donnaaustministries.substack.com/&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://donnaaustministries.substack.com/"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p>Donna Aust&#8217;s life was radically transformed by the truth of the Gospel over 25 years ago. Once a dedicated corporate trainer, martial arts instructor, and women&#8217;s rights advocate, she trusted in her own version of truth until a pivotal moment during her black belt test stirred a deeper question: What is truth? That question led her on a journey that ultimately brought her to the love and grace of Jesus Christ.</p><p>With an M.S. in Organizational Psychology and an M.A. in Theological Studies, Donna blends practical insight with biblical depth. She has taught and written Bible studies for women in both small and large group settings and speaks regularly at women&#8217;s conferences. </p><p>Her book, <em><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4uzn8GI">When Hope Comes: Discovering God&#8217;s Character and Our True Identity Through the Book of Ruth</a></strong></em>, explores the richness of Ruth&#8217;s story through its historical and theological lens, inviting readers to discover God&#8217;s redemptive heart and their true identity in Him.</p><p>Donna is passionate about mentoring the next generation of women and treasures time with her husband, four sons, three daughters-in-law, and six grandchildren. Whether walking the beach, weight training, or gathering around the table with loved ones, Donna&#8217;s greatest joy is pointing others to the One who changed her life forever&#8212;Jesus Christ.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#129293; Closing</h2><p>At the Christian Book Finder, we highlight Christ-centered books that nourish faith and strengthen the soul.</p><p>If you are an indie author with a faith-centered book, we&#8217;d love to hear from you. &#128218;</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/when-hope-comes-discovering-gods?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/p/when-hope-comes-discovering-gods?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><h2>Affiliate Disclosure</h2><p>Some links in this article may be affiliate links.

Apologetics</a></strong></em>: A cumulative case for Christian theism built from the inside out. It doesn&#8217;t argue God into existence. It exposes the load-bearing assumptions of materialist frameworks; fine-tuning, the mathematical intelligibility of the universe, the hard problem of consciousness, abiogenesis and semantic information. These aren&#8217;t gaps in the science. They&#8217;re questions the framework has trained people to stop asking.</p><p>The case doesn&#8217;t conclude with God. It concludes with a door the reader didn&#8217;t know was there.</p><p>From that threshold the historical evidentialist case takes over. The only tradition making falsifiable claims about entry into human history, verified through prophecy, eyewitness testimony, and resurrection.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t a defense of God. God doesn&#8217;t need one. It&#8217;s a systematic dismantling of the alternative, written for the person who&#8217;s been told the questions don&#8217;t matter.&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>For those scientifically minded who sense that there is a deeper meaning beneath their inquiry, and for Christians who want to strengthen their faith, as well as acquire the tools to have these conversations themselves. </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>As someone who follows apologetics closely I never understood why Christians don&#8217;t push back when the conversation veers into scientific territory. I wanted to show them that they didn&#8217;t need to know the ins and outs of every scientific theory in order to have these discussions. They just need to identify the load bearing assumptions their worldview smuggles in, or be just familiar enough to know where the theory reaches the boundaries of what we can test. </p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/3Q3c1rp&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/3Q3c1rp"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http://collincurtis232.substack.com&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="http://collincurtis232.substack.com"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Collin Curtis&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:486388113,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a1b91931-d10b-4c07-ad9c-3382233b1278_1176x1177.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;cb10fff8-2225-428c-aa7d-1285f5c5b5dc&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> is an autodidact tradesman turned author.

Over 40 days of short devotions, this book encourages us to grow in our understanding of all that Jesus&#8217; death has done for us, and in doing so challenges us to re-evaluate the way we live, in light of the cross.</p><p>&#8216;Understanding what Christ&#8217;s death achieved for each one of us personally should encourage and strengthen our souls, bring joy to our hearts, and instil in us a desire to live for the One who gave us His all.

I pulled these wonderful revelations together into a 40 day resource to help us prepare our hearts for Easter, and also to challenge us as to how we should live, in light of the cross of Jesus.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://a.co/d/02M7L5z2&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://a.co/d/02M7L5z2"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://substack.com/profile/105950373-joy-margetts?utm_source=mention&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://substack.com/profile/105950373-joy-margetts?utm_source=mention"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Joy Margetts&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:105950373,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/78f07e22-3028-4160-8f0c-f5b76c2af3d3_1080x1440.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;8eb5663b-0870-4f73-b3e3-a5f676b7a249&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> loves writing and loves the Word of God.

Goodbye</a></strong></em> is a devotional and prayer book for families navigating the emotional transition from high school graduation to college life. Written for both parents and students, it offers two matching 7-day devotional journeys, one for the parent learning to release with faith, and one for the student stepping into independence with courage. </p><p>Each day includes Scripture, reflection, and 2 prayers: one for yourself and one to pray over the other person. The book also includes 90 situation-specific prayers for the real moments families face, from homesickness and changed communication to academic pressure, spiritual questions, loneliness, worry, and letting go. </p><p>Honest, compassionate, and deeply rooted in Christian faith, <em><a href="https://amzn.to/49VVPyY">After the Goodbye</a></em> helps families carry both the joy and ache of this season while trusting God to hold them together across the distance.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Christian parents and students navigating the transition from high school graduation to college. It&#8217;s especially for parents who are struggling with the change, students learning to step into independence, and families who want spiritual encouragement, honest language for the goodbye, and a meaningful way to stay connected through prayer.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>The inspiration for <em>After the Goodbye</em> came from watching my daughter leave for college and seeing how deeply that transition affected our family, especially my wife. What should have felt only like celebration also carried real grief, tenderness, and uncertainty. </p><p>I realized many families experience that same ache but don&#8217;t always have words for it. This book grew out of our own goodbye, as a way to help parents and students process the change honestly, pray through it faithfully, and trust God in the distance between home and what comes next.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/49VVPyY&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/49VVPyY"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://christiandevotionals.substack.com/&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://christiandevotionals.substack.com/"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Jason A Clark&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:46118114,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9d5d9f34-507e-4860-9211-a630f9c05060_1728x1728.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;cbc5a8d4-3f12-4f15-8193-dde3cd5afe32&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> is a Christian writer and author whose work explores faith, Scripture, history, and the questions that shape everyday life.

One hundred and forty is a testament.</p><p><em><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/49mEhMj">Heaven Encounters</a></strong></em> gathers the firsthand accounts of 140 people who clinically died and met Jesus &#8212; strangers from every background, every continent, every walk of life, who came back describing the same Savior, the same love, the same eternity. Their stories don&#8217;t just align with Scripture; they magnify it. </p><p>Drawn from years of vetted interviews on the Heaven Encounters YouTube channel, each chapter reveals a different facet of the afterlife: the throne room, reunions with loved ones, the reality of judgment, and above all, the overwhelming presence of Christ. For the believer, this book is fuel for hope. For the skeptic, it is evidence that cannot be easily dismissed. Heaven is real. Jesus is who He said He is. And eternity is closer than you think.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.christianbookfinder.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128101;Who is this Book For?</h2><p>Heaven Encounters is written for three audiences: </p><ul><li><p>believers who long for fresh assurance that what Scripture promises about Heaven is true; </p></li><li><p>seekers and skeptics who need more than one story to consider the claims of Christ; </p></li><li><p>and the grieving &#8212; those who have lost loved ones and ache for hope that death is not the end. </p></li></ul><p>It is also a resource for pastors, small groups, and anyone wanting to share the gospel with someone who finds testimony more accessible than theology.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#127749; The Inspiration Behind the Book</h2><p>In April 2005, I clinically died in a hospital in Oceanside, California, and met Jesus. I kept that encounter private for fourteen years. At the end of that experience, the Lord gave me four words: take back the narrative. That commission is the foundation of everything that has followed &#8212; my testimony going public, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HeavenEncounterswithRandyKay">Heaven Encounters YouTube channel</a>, and now this book.</p><p>For too long, the cultural conversation about the afterlife has been dominated by speculation, sensationalism, and accounts that drift away from the Jesus of Scripture. I wanted to give readers something different: not one story, but one hundred and forty &#8212; independently lived, carefully vetted, and remarkably unified in what they reveal about Christ and eternity. When 140 strangers describe the same Jesus, it stops being coincidence and starts being testament.</p><div><hr></div><h2>&#128205; Where to Find It</h2><p>You can learn more or purchase the book here:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://amzn.to/49mEhMj&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Amazon&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://amzn.to/49mEhMj"><span>Amazon</span></a></p><p>You can also explore more from this author at:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://randykay.substack.com&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://randykay.substack.com"><span>Substack</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9997;&#65039; About the Author</h3><p><span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Randy Kay&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:304360717,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/081a016c-4466-484e-a169-e38f299789d9_547x547.png&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;7d6e54e4-ac61-4bf5-80d8-d32af598085f&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span> is a Christian author, minister, and host of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HeavenEncounterswithRandyKay">Heaven Encounters</a> with Randy Kay, the first YouTube channel solely dedicated to Christ-centered near-death testimonies, with more than 336,000 subscribers and 100 million views across his programs.
