When we find that we’re in error—whether we’ve done something awful intentionally or accidentally hurt someone we love—the temptation to fix things on our own is strong. I want to make things better. I want to change myself. Lewka’s life captures what I find true about myself: When I try to fix things on my own, I usually end up making matters worse. Instead, we need to fall on God’s mercy. His grace can bring healing. His grace is what transforms us. If you’re trying too hard to fix a situation right now, and if your efforts are failing, perhaps it’s time to let go and surrender to mercy. #mercy #forgiveness #grace #quote #fantasysaga #jennoevretheglowing #thefirstbornslegacy

Switchfoot is my favorite band. As I was contemplating the themes for The Stewards’ Apprentice, I happened to be listening to their new song, “The Strength to Let Go.” This song is deeply beautiful and honest, and it is perfect for The Steward’s Apprentice. So I’ve painted these pictures as inspiration as I rewrite the novel. The background fits the story’s setting, and the quotes fit the themes. I’m feeling very inspired by this wonderful band! @switchfoot #switchfoot #strength #strengthtoletgo #letgo #quote #watercolor #fantasysaga #fantasybooks #inspiration #inspirationalquotes

Congratulations to @jjjohnsonwrites on the cover reveal for Iggy and Oz: The Plastic Dinos of Doom! JJ is an author I had the honor of meeting at Realm Makers. Not only was he awesome in person, he also is launching a new series of books that sound frankly adorable. About Dinos of Doom: Iggy Risner is your typical wise-cracking twelve year old. When his younger brother Oz wakes him in the middle of the night claiming he heard a monster in the attic, Iggy takes him upstairs to prove him wrong. But instead of a flesh-eating beast, they discover hundreds of plastic dinosaurs that have mysteriously come to life. When the dinos escape the attic and start terrorizing young kids in the neighborhood, and trampling flower beds, somehow Iggy, Oz, and their friends must catch the plastic dinos of doom before the damage escalates. But when your parents doubt your story, and a group of clueless neighborhood bullies stand in the way, catching the little beast is easier said than done. Go wish him congratulations on this book, and mark your calendars: it comes out next month 🤩🦖🦕 #indiebooks #bookstagram #coverreveal #realmmakers #realmie #middlegrade #middlegradebooks #author #fantasyauthor #books #booklover #readersofinstagram #reader

@jpurrazzi is one of my favorite people, and her cyberpunk series is incredible. Cowl, Menrva, and Bas are one of my favorite trios. If you like gritty dystopias with found families, you’ll love Malfunction. #books #booklover #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #cyberpunk #dystopia #scifi #scifiwomen #indieauthor #indiebooks #indiereads #phoenixfictionwriters #phoenixfiction

A couple weekends ago, we finished “The Weavers’ Blessing” in Story Time with Beth. The read-alouds are all available on YouTube—that’s right, a free author-read audiobook is just waiting to bless your ears! #storytime #theweaversblessing #audiobook #readaloud #fairytale

I don’t often read nonfiction, but this one came highly recommended by a friend. It’s about a survivor of the 1994 Rwanda genocide. I know so little about modern events and African history, and this one seems a fantastic way to start the process of remedying that. #thegirlwhosmiledbeads #contemporary #nonfictionbooks #nonfiction #bookstagram #nytbestseller #amreading #bookrecommendation
