Can Friendship Change The World?
Four women become unlikely friends through the power of prayer and community. With feet to the fire in their commitment to each other, Brooklyn, Hannie, Kathryn, and Wren determine to live free, vulnerable, and unashamed lives with each other and with the world. Whether it’s surviving a period blow out at the doctor’s office, suffering a disastrous day of homeschooling, or watching one of their kids pee off the high dive at a public pool, these friends hold fast! Chronic pain, illness, addiction, and the pain of infidelity are some of the life-fires they must navigate. ‘The Mamas” walk through them together. They walk through them together – in Christ.
Hilarious and heartbreaking this book isn’t just for mothers, and it not just for Christians. It’s for all women desiring closer friendships and a deeper, more honest life. Come join the adventure, and welcome to The Mamas!
We love all moms and all moms at heart. The Mamas will give you hope for a more honest life with your friends.
(Hurray! Our men are telling us it’s a great bathroom book, and that it’s helping them better understand the women in their lives.)

“Ugly. Stupid. Weak. Worthless.”
This is a book like no other. (It was written to be a homeschool read-aloud!) Teach your teenager to battle the enemy of his soul and of your relationship!
A young prince embarks on a quest to rescue a kingdom doomed.
The kingdom of Struggle is being lied to by an unseen enemy: LIAR. Lurking in the sinister forest, Liar attacks the minds of the villagers by whispering subtle thought into their minds. “Ugly. Idiot. Weak. Worthless. Impossible to love.” At night, Liar’s poisonous serpent-vines advance against a people ignorant of his crimes. Liar has been warring against Struggle without opposition, and his greatest harvest is truth.
Poor, orphaned, and alone, the unlikely-named Prince sparks a rebellion. A beautiful, mysterious woman is dying from Liar’s wounds, but Prince is determined to rescue her. His brother is also marked for death, so Prince must save him too. Fear sends out tentacles of mistrust, and Prince’s hope is crushed beneath Liar’s curse, “Everyone you love dies in the end.”
For Prince to rescue a kingdom help captive to Liar, he must trust the King and the mysterious woman to help him. Praying for courage he does not possess, Prince embarks on an impossible quest and risks his very life…for love.
