Faith & Current Events
Tina M. Ray
Tina M. Ray considers the times of the past, present and future through the moral state of society: social change, the loss of liberties and God-given rights, the chaos of a pandemic and its ramifications for the world. The book turns to Christian beliefs about the rapture of the church and the second coming of Christ Jesus, with Scriptures and references included to warn and encourage readers to prepare their lives and homes before it is too late.

Faith & Healing
Ivy Garces
Ivy Garces writes for every vessel that has been cracked by life. Through honest reflection and Scripture, The Vessel traces the path from brokenness to restoration: the wounds we carry, the God who collects every fragment and the kintsugi-like grace that turns our golden cracks into a testimony. It is a companion for healing, forgiveness and the quiet work of spiritual awakening.

Literary Fiction
Amara Okonkwo
★★★★★Spanning three generations and two continents, this luminous debut follows Ifedi as she inherits a shuttered seaside house and, with it, the letters her grandmother never sent. A meditation on migration, memory and the salt that both preserves and stings.

Poetry
Nia Freeman
★★★★★Nia Freeman's collection turns the volume down on grand declarations and finds the sacred in laundromats, hair salons and grandmothers' hands. Formally daring, emotionally generous.
