Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World by Jennie Allen (2022)
Looking for a read on building real, lasting community? Jennie Allen’s new work offers a fresh take on the question of becoming known and loved in a world bent toward loneliness.
“In a world that's both more connected and more isolating than ever before, we’re often tempted to do life alone, whether because we’re so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard. In Find Your People, bestselling author Jennie Allen draws on fascinating insights from science and history, timeless biblical truth, and vulnerable stories from her own life.” - jennieallen.com https://www.jennieallen.com/find-your-people
A Great Cloud of Witnesses by Trillia Newbell (2021)
We love a good devotional! Newbell is a masterful writer for children and adults alike. Check out A Great Cloud of Witnesses if you’re in need of fuel for your faith.
“Each devotional invites you into the lives of ordinary people who lived by faith and concludes with reflection questions so that you can consider how your story connects with those found in Scripture. By studying the great cloud of witnesses found in Hebrews 11, and others who have gone before us, you will learn to imitate their faith while clinging to the One who is always faithful as you run the race God has set before you.” https://www.moodypublishers.com/a-great-cloud-of-witnesses/

Want to take your biblical literacy to the next level? This guided bible study might be just what you’re looking for. Shirer is a preaching and teaching powerhouse whose insight is full of wisdom.
“Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations…Join Priscilla Shirer on this 7-session journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine.
