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 August:

Kate Breslin
Judith Miller

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.

“…forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:13-14, ESV

General Suggestions for Prayer:

• For physical health for the authors and their families.

• For times of encouragement and refreshment even during difficult or stressful seasons.

• For the ability to manage multiple demands on time and attention in a way that’s honoring to God.

As always, we so appreciate your prayers, and I know the fact that you’re praying is very meaningful to our authors as well. We’re so blessed to have a great group of readers supporting our writers!
