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 June:

Lawana Blackwell
Elizabeth Camden
Angela Hunt
Karen Witemeyer

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.

“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”– Romans 12:17-18, ESV

General Suggestions for Prayer:

• For the ability and desire to live at peace with everyone (even unfair critics or difficult associates or family members).

• For a renewed sense of purpose in all they do, but especially in their writing.

• For encouragement for those who sell and recommend books, that they would know that their work makes a difference in many lives.

Again, I so appreciate having a team of prayer warriors around our authors. Thanks for joining us, and I’ll see you next month!
