Calling all the book lovers this week:


The way to my heart & a sign of summer- my book recommendations for you!

I’ve collected some of my book picks for you:


Wanna check out our BellTower Stories Collection?

Here’s the newest conversation in our collection:

How do you live a story you never would have chosen? Ann Voskamp and Katie M. Kelley discuss Katie’s new book, Grace Will be There. Come join us in BellTower Stories, up in the 1896 bell tower our little Village Table church, as “the bells are the voice of the church, with tones that touch and search.” (Longfellow)


Books from the blog this week:

Grace Will Be There invites readers into the sacred space of “Me, too” without offering formulas for the hard things in life that no formula can solve. But with winsome writing and generous vulnerability, Katie invites readers to the peace that comes from knowing and trusting that God’s grace will always be there, because it always has been there.

If this excerpt encouraged you, continue the journey in Psalms of Trust

Through ten beloved psalms H.B. Charles offers biblical hope that will strengthen your faith and deepen your confidence in God’s presence, no matter what season you’re facing. 

Let this book grow your courage in God at all times.
