Santa's Christmas Story by Lori Mitchell *Available Aug 2026*

Popular Christian blogger and author Kampakis’ latest offers daily doses of biblical teachings and anecdotes aimed at teen girls.

The opening author’s note acknowledges that “the comparison game is exhausting, isn’t it?” Insisting that a unique path—found through God—awaits them, Kampakis encourages readers to discover what’s real and remarkable about their own lives rather than comparing themselves to others. Each chapter highlights a particular topic, such as love, loneliness, boys, body image, trusting God, people-pleasing, faith, anxiety, humility, confidence, and hope. Each section contains a personal anecdote from the lives of the author, one of her daughters, or someone she’s crossed paths with. Specific tips, illuminating or comforting scriptures, and reflection questions (with ruled lines for recording your thoughts) follow. The accessible text, written in a friendly, conversational style, contains advice that refreshingly avoids emphasizing self-sacrifice or tenets of purity culture. Kampakis advocates for setting healthy boundaries, offering oneself grace, and seeking help from therapists when needed. Some examples from the author’s life, while supporting the lessons being conveyed, may be hard for younger readers to connect to, such as the stresses of overseeing home repairs following a natural disaster and the ups and downs of securing a publishing deal. The book’s physical design in pink and white is visually appealing, with takeaways and calls to center God and Christ highlighted in pink text.

A pragmatic and inviting Christian self-help resource. (endnotes) (Nonfiction. 13-18)

by Charlotte Freeman

 Not all growth feels like growth. Some of it feels like falling apart, standing still, or losing your way entirely — and this book is for those seasons. "You Were Always Growing: Even in the Dark" is the third and most recent collection from Charlotte Freeman, bestselling author of "Everything You'll Ever Need" and "This Was Meant to Find You." Where her earlier books focused on healing from heartbreak and reclaiming self-worth, this one speaks to something broader and, for many readers, even more disorienting: the experience of being in a difficult chapter you can't quite name — a career crossroads, a lost sense of direction, a relationship or life path that no longer fits — and not knowing whether the changes happening to you are leading somewhere or just leading nowhere. Freeman's answer, in her characteristically warm and direct voice, is that they are always leading somewhere. 

Find daily reminders of God's grace and empowerment so you can live boldly and with purpose.

In You Got This, owner and designer of Sweet Water Decor, Melissa Horvath, shares 90 daily devotions to equip and encourage hard-working women.

How can women keep up with life's demands without forgetting who God created them to be? It's easy for us to get wrapped up in all that we do and then forget who God created us to be. Whether we're working hard inside the home, outside the home, or both, we all need encouragement and grace to meet the demands life puts on us.

This 90-day devotional journey is the dose of inspiration you need to help you de-stress and refocus by recognizing how blessed you really are as a daughter of God. Each devotion begins with a Scripture passage followed by an inspirational message to invigorate you in your work, your life, and your faith. Each daily entry ends with engaging questions to help you apply the spiritual and practical principles as you partner with God to boldly live each day empowered and equipped by Him. You Got This will help you to:

• Tap into God's strength
• Develop a healthy view of success and failure
• Learn to accept yourself as God's unique creation designed for a unique purpose

This encouraging devotional is the perfect gift for Christian women for birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, New Year’s, graduation, other special occasions, or simply as a ‘thinking of you’ gift.

You Got This will help you find your strength in God’s strength. It’s time to start living confidently as the unique creation God intended you to be.
