Inspire Courage
Courage. It’s a big word, isn’t it? For some it means being brave when faced with scary situations. For others, courage is an inner fortitude which keeps us heading in the right direction when we’d rather head in another. Still others define courage as the ability to move past painful, traumatic circumstances and still contribute something beautiful to this world. The truth is… courage is all this, and more. This anthology brings together true and fictional stories, essays, and poems that consider the concept of courage that will make you laugh, move you, and encourage you.
Inspire Honor
Honor is a complex and nuanced concept. Many people worry that honor is a disappearing character trait; that we’ve lost the art of thinking of others in the way we have been biblically instructed. But have we?
This anthology is a collection of stories, poems, and pieces of nonfiction which exemplify the different forms honor takes, and the different ways it impacts, or could impact, our lives.
