What Your Purchase Supports

When you buy the Soul Seeds Pack, you’re doing more than placing books on a shelf—you’re putting a jersey on a child.

In the hills of Guatemala, a young boy shows up to soccer practice wearing worn-out shoes and borrowed clothes. He doesn’t speak much, but he never misses a session. The day he’s handed his first-ever team jersey—a brand-new shirt with his name on the back—his eyes light up. For the first time, he feels seen. Valued. Loved.

That jersey opens the door. He begins to listen. He begins to ask questions. And before long, he begins to believe.

Every Soul Seeds Pack funds half the cost of a full team’s uniforms—unlocking hearts through relationship, not religion.

soul seeds collection

Every soul wrestles. Every mind drifts. Every heart longs for something deeper.

The Soul Seeds Series is a collection of raw, honest, and spiritually sharp books designed to confront the lies that grow in silence and plant truth where chaos once lived. These are not your typical devotionals. These are spiritual wake-up calls. Bold truths. Real battles. Scripture-soaked clarity for those tired of surface-level faith.

Whether the topic is distraction, emotional numbness, idleness, fear, or the fight for mental clarity, each book in this series digs beneath behavior and into the soil of the soul. This is where healing begins. This is where faith grows. This is where real transformation takes root.

These are not just books. These are seeds. Let them fall deep. Let them change everything.

Children of the Word Series
coming soon

I bet your kids and even you have never heard most of these Bible stories.

This isn’t another recycled “David and Goliath, Jonah and the Whale” series. These are the forgotten stories, powerful, rarely-told moments from Scripture brought to life in a way kids can finally see, feel, and understand.

Each book does three things:

Tells the Bible story in a way your kids will remember forever.

Connects it to a modern-day parable so they can relate it to their own world.

Gives them an action plan to actually live out the lesson and walk closer with God.

I grew up wishing something like this existed. I wish I’d had stories like these stories that don’t just teach rules but ignite conviction, spark curiosity, and inspire a real desire to stay in God’s Word.

Every book includes simple, stunning illustrations that make the lessons easy to grasp and unforgettable for kids.

By the end of 2025, the complete 50 + book collection will be available, a resource designed not just for kids, but for families who want to grow together in God’s truth.

Because faith isn’t taught by lectures.
It’s lived through stories.

The “Bible Real Non-Fiction Superhero” badge exists to set these books apart. In a world full of fantasy heroes and fictional legends, this badge declares that the characters in these stories are real people from Scripture. Their courage, faith, and choices are grounded in true historical accounts, and their stories are written to inspire kids with authentic examples of faith and character.

This isn’t about making the Bible feel like comic books — it’s about showing kids that the Bible already contains real superheroes. Esther, David, Daniel, Jael, Gideon, and so many others didn’t need capes or powers; their strength came from God.

LETTERS OF LIFE SERIES

The Letters of Life Series is a transformative collection of devotional books designed to guide readers through five essential pillars of Christian living: Awareness, Acceptance, Adoration, Accountability, and Action. Each “Letter” explores a key aspect of faith with relatable fictional parables, heartfelt reflections, practical applications, and powerful prayers. Together, these books provide a step-by-step journey to deepen your relationship with God, build spiritual resilience, and live out your faith with integrity and purpose. Whether you’re new to your faith or seeking renewal, The Letters of Life will inspire you to grow closer to Christ, one letter at a time.

NOW AVAILABLE "THE ELIJAH MANTEL"
Pastor (5) Pack Offer $49.99

This series is a long walk with Elijah and Elisha as guides, a journey for pastors and leaders who refuse to end their story with a period when God is still writing commas. From the first cloak on a farmer’s shoulders to the quiet work of blessing a new generation, these books trace the holy craft of finding, forming, releasing, and rejoicing over those who will run farther than you did. The scenes are familiar because you have lived them: fire that proves God is still God, caves where exhaustion drowns perspective, rivers that part only when someone dares strike the water, rooms where hands rest on trembling shoulders and a mantle shifts without tearing a community.

Each volume lingers where real ministry happens, in kitchens and back hallways, budget meetings and late night phone calls, whispered prayers and public celebrations. You will feel the ache of letting go and the joy of watching others take hold. You will see how to guard young hearts without smothering them, how to name divine moments before they fade, how to honor faithfulness in quiet people, how to craft goodbyes that heal instead of harden. The language stays pastoral and prophetic, tender and fierce, because shepherds need both when the work involves souls and stakes you cannot measure on spreadsheets.

What binds the set together is a single conviction: legacy is not a statue you leave behind, it is a river you help keep moving. These pages invite you to keep dreaming beside the next wave, to find fresh assignments in unexpected places, to remain available as a well that never demands to be the fountainhead. They call you to trust God to multiply what you began even when you no longer count the fruit, to carry Elijah’s spirit long after you have stepped out of the spotlight, to live beyond titles with the same passion you once brought to the stage.

If you are gathering your books into one pack, let this description be a doorway. Step through with open hands. Let memory feed courage, let courage turn into release, let release become worship. The cloak is still falling, the river is still moving, the whisper is still clear. This series will keep you close enough to catch the mantle and brave enough to toss it.
