A Taste of Hot Apple Cider: Stories to Encourage and Inspire

Pull up a nice, warm, cozy chair and enjoy some Hot Apple Cider along with me.

Move in closer. That's it. We'll all share our stories together, like a group of close friends. Stories of heartbreak and redemption—trouble and overcoming—questioning our faith and embracing it—and, most of all, finding hope at the end of every path.

There's just nothing like a circle of warm friends to share life with. All 15 of us will take turns opening up our hearts to you—sharing little pieces of ourselves. Come and join us.

We'll even include discussion questions so you can reflect on our stories or explore the themes with a group.

Our first two Hot Apple Cider anthologies won a number of awards and have nearly 90,000 print copies in circulation. They’re also now available as ebooks.

“Sometimes all you need is a reminder that there is something good in the world.” –MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
