Since it’s the first Sunday of the month, we’ll be continuing the Bethany House Fiction tradition of taking time to pray for authors who have new releases coming out this month. I’m Amy Green, the fiction publicist here, and I’m thankful for all of the readers who show their support for our authors in the way that matters most: by praying for them. To read more about the reasons behind this time of prayer, go to this post.

Authors with Books Releasing in October:

Lynn Austin
Leslie Gould
Judith Miller
Tracie Peterson
Lauraine Snelling

Verse of the Month: Feel free to use the text of this verse to guide your prayers for these authors, as well as other people in your life who you want to remember in prayer today.

“For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.” Psalm 52:9, NIV

General Suggestions for Prayer:

• For encouragement from other believers and through reading the Word.

• For authors to hear from individuals who have been impacted through reading these books.

• For focus and the ability to balance many activities at once.

As always, your prayers mean so much to me, and to our authors. I appreciate you taking time this Lord’s Day to pray for these women and their novels…and those who will read their novels.
