“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet…

Ann just won the Christy Award for Best Debut Novel of 2017 with Stars in the Grass, originated AMG’s Preparing My Heart series, and writes “Ann’s Lovin’ Ewe” for The Country Register.

The Child’s Story Bible I love reading The Child’s Story Bible by Catherine Vos to our children. It is captivating enough to interest our three-year-old, but rich and meaty enough for our 11-year-old. Points of doctrine are explained right in the text in the same conversational style that makes the entire book a pleasure to…
