Story Warren Weekend, Vol. 14, Issue 31

Hi there, and welcome to the weekend!

We’re delighted to be heading quickly towards the fall and release season for the third book in The Lost Tales trilogy. This year of being back with our friends Heather and Picket has been so much fun. Have you picked up The Lost Legend (book two) yet?

If you have, would you consider leaving a review on Amazon or Goodreads? Reviews are a key way that you help other readers find and enjoy our titles.

Around the Web

We were so pleased that World magazine chose to feature The Lost Legend for a review! “Smith keeps the suspense and action going nonstop in the story, teaching the importance of courage in the face of difficult challenges.”

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

A good reminder here about spiritual disciplines: “If the Lord is the master maintainer of our souls, then we have no hope but to continually come to him for help, for purifying, for unveiling of our eyes to see the sin and pride we don’t even recognize to be there. We like to think we are just fine the way we are, and we’re certainly better than that neighbor down the street, but the Lord sees things we don’t.”

Around the Warren

Aaron Armstrong passed on an encouraging word to fellow dads: “We are responsible for our faithfulness, our teaching and modeling what it means to follow Jesus to our families. That’s it. Everything else ultimately belongs to the Lord.”

Heather Morris gave us a review of the new Crossway title, 10 Questions About the Bible. “Sometimes kids ask tough questions. Sometimes they echo whispers that bounce around in our own minds as adults.”

Something to do with your kids

Something to watch

Thanks for reading. We’re on your side.
