It's easy to lose hope, especially in today's world. Through times like these, we all need to be reminded of the hope of Jesus!

Hope for the Moment is a collection of what we're calling Devotional Stories, real stories by real people about a real God. There are some heavy moments, but in every story, hope is found and God is glorified. These serve to remind of God's faithfulness and goodness.

While most of the Christian writers in this collection are women, it can serve to encourage anyone of any age. Writers from around the world have contributed to this collaboration. We celebrate the international feel and have retained author styles.

The deep, personal stories in this collection will inspire and encourage anyone with an open heart.

Historical fiction with a twisted mystery. This coming-of-age series portrays the true heroic struggle of the German Mennonites before Ukraine became a country, during one of the most tragic times of the early twentieth century. First Came the Horses.

Book One: Katarina's Dark Shadow: As the civil war erupts in the shadow of the Great War. Katarina discovers that faith is more than a badge and a belief system. During war-time, it requires resilience.

1951:Peter stumbles on Katarina's diaries from the Russian Revolution. What happened during those early years that prompted Katarina to go back to Ukraine during WW2? What secrets lie behind the Iron Curtain?

1915-1917: While the winds of the great war circle Ukraine, the country seeks independence from mother Russia. But for fifteen-year-old Katarina, war is still too far away to feel real. She dreams of a exotic future as a missionary school teacher in foreign lands.

Then a rebel attack at the family farm changes everything. Injured and fearful, Katarina seeks guarantees of safety. Her sister Anna’s wealthy estate with its security detail offers freedom and promises of dreams fulfilled. But after the Czar is overthrown and the separatist army grows, suspicion lurks at every corner. Even the servants can’t be trusted.

As the solid foundations of faith and family are threatened, Katarina’s world unravels. She faces the ultimate decision that will determine her future. Will she depend on her peaceful Mennonite faith to fight the forthcoming evil? Or, will she abandon all hope and emigrate with the others?

Is life a journey or a destination?

Set during the darkest days of Ukraine’s history, Katarina’s Dark Shadow portrays the courageous human struggle inside a distinct faith during violent political times. Like the book of Job in the Bible, the story portrays the quest for meaning during troubling times.
If you like intrigue, complex characters, and strong women of faith, you'll enjoy this spine-chilling Christian historical fiction series.
Inspired by true stories and actual events based on the harrowing tales of the author's ancestors, this book will particularly interest those with German-Prussian, Ukrainian, or Russian Mennonite ancestry.
If you enjoyed Tears of Amber and The Girl with the Silver Star, you’ll enjoy stepping into this intriguing and unusual world with its unique cultural dynamics. Witness the Russian revolution from an entirely different perspective.

***** “A chillingly realistic, yet fictional account of what happened to ordinary people in Russian Ukraine when their world was overthrown by social unrest, war, and then a revolution. I couldn’t put it down.” *****Author P.C. James.
***** “A gripping historical fiction and true to its time. Highly recommended for those interested in a different viewpoint from WWI.” ***** Author Nola Li Barr.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest and most important things we have to do. A heart that forgives is one that thrives.

To what extent should we forgive? As the Lord forgave you. In doing these things, we’ll be allowing God to remove the roots of bitterness, anger and wrath, and shouting and slander. That is the incredible favor of forgiveness.

You may wonder, “how can there be so many devotionals about forgiveness? It’s seems like a limited teaching topic…”

But you’ll be surprised and inspired by the dozens of different takes on the subject. Join 16 Devo Writers as they share personal stories of how God walked them through their own hurts to a place of forgiveness and what that can mean for your life.

We are called to worship at all times: on mountaintops, in the valleys, in the land of promise, and in the wilderness.

For you, the wilderness may be a financial drought, or maybe physical, emotional, or spiritual. These seasons are not usually the direct result of sin but rather a God-ordained time for you to learn more about His character and will for your life.

You are not alone. People throughout the Bible have gone through wilderness seasons: Job, Elijah, Paul, and Jesus, many of whom were righteous and blameless. Yet they still showed us how to grow closer to God through it all.

And that’s what the Devo Writers in this collaboration hope to do.

You will be inspired by this month long, daily devotional from multiple best-selling authors and some new writers! Join these Devo Writers as they share personal stories what worship means to them. Imagine what it can mean for you to grow in your understanding of praise to God. That's the promise these writers make if you will be bold enough to get the book and study these truths.
