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 November:

Patrick W. Carr
Nancy Mehl

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.

“In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.“–1 Peter 1:6-7, ESV

General Suggestions for Prayer:

• For the support of family and friends during a busy release month.

• For peace and direction when making choices related to writing career changes or next steps.

• For those who are seeking God (even if they don’t know it yet) to get a clearer picture of the Christian faith through these books.

During this month of giving thanks, I’m grateful for wonderful books and authors…as well as readers like you who come alongside us to pray!
