Something to Add to your calendar?
Embracing You with Ann Voskamp
WHAT IF… life expectations that you’ve been handed, that define success, fulfillment, and meaning in ways that do not correspond with the actual topography and reality of your life, leave you looking for a better way?
Join us for an uplifting evening with four-time NYT Best Selling Author Ann Voskamp.
Hope Story Conference
We’re gathering for our 8th annual Writer’s Conference in beautiful Charlotte, NC on January 29-31, 2026, and we’d love you to join us! Experience three unforgettable days designed to awaken your words, strengthen your voice, and surround you with a community who believes in the power of story.
Across the weekend, you’ll hear best selling authors and keynote voices, learn from workshop presenters who will help refine your craft, and step into quiet writing rooms where inspiration becomes practice. Thursday night we’ll pause for Celebrate Your Story—a joyful evening where we recognize the milestones of our Hope*Books authors and invite everyone in the room to see what’s possible for their own writing journey.
This is more than another event. It’s a gathering designed to move your writing forward.

You can get our JOURNALs for nearly 50% off right now plus buy 2 get 1 free!
Unlike other gratitude journals as it’s uniquely formatted to daily see how God has shown up with gifts on this day of the month, on all the previous months, Gifts & Gratitudes, with spacious lines to name three gifts each day, gently helps grow trust in a God who doesn’t always explain our suffering but who always enters into it with us. Taking pen to paper each day will help trace God’s goodness… which powerfully mends our hearts in tender seasons. And because of Jesus… there is always, always, always something — Someone — to be thankful for.
If you’re seeking deeper peace, in a world of tender pain…. if you’re looking for hope in the midst of all kinds of hurt… I can honestly say NOTHING HAS CHANGED MY LIFE & STOKED MY HOPE AND JOY LIKE GIVING THANKS LIKE THIS!
When you don’t know what or who to count on in days like this, when you need a soul reset our reorientation… if you start counting Gifts & Gratitudes — your eyes… and heart… begin to open to Who you can always count on…. especially on the most tender days.
When you check out with 3 copies, the discount will automatically apply, making the journal about $8 each!
FOR YOUR THANKSGIVING: A NEW PRAYER TO COLLECTIVELY PRAY AROUND THE TABLE

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
Share Whatever Is Good.
