Happy Sunday! 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 Lokkesmoe, 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:

Mary Connealy

Nicole Deese

Amanda Dykes

Rachel Dylan

Angela Hunt

Regina Jennings

Susan Anne Mason

Tracie Peterson

Katie Powner

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.

“Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.”—Philippians 4:4-5 (NLT)

General Suggestions for Prayer:

• For joy to overflow, both in their writing and their personal lives.
• For bookstore owners struggling financially to be able to keep their doors open.
• For the books releasing this month to have a lasting impact on readers who need their messages and stories.

Thank you all for taking a few moments to pray with us. It’s so appreciated!
