An uplifting comment from Ainsley Earhardt’s childhood is the basis for a new children’s book that teaches children they’re not an accident but instead were created by God for a purpose.

I'm So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating Who You Are (Zonderkidz) is a 32-age children’s book filled with faith-based, hope-filled rhyme and colorful illustrations that Earhardt says will teach kids “God has a plan for your life.” It was illustrated by Kim Barnes and has been a bestseller on Amazon’s children’s books lists since it was released. It also reached No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list for children’s picture books.

Actor and outspoken Christian Kirk Cameron said he cried "tears of gratitude and hope" following a recent New Jersey library event promoting his faith-based children's book.

Platt came to his own personal conclusion that he needed to hold nothing back in his own life when it comes to letting God deal with the same issues and blind spots that he is challenging his readers to deal with and experience. 

Karen Kingsbury’s books have sold more than 25 million copies and have been made into multiple movies and television series, including her latest one, Pure Flix’s A Thousand Tomorrows. But Kingsbury told Christian Headlines she had trouble finding a publisher for her first faith-based inspirational book.

The culture may have forgotten the meaning of marriage, but Christian families don’t have to follow suit.

So says author and theologian Sam Allberry, whose new children’s book, God’s Signpost, helps parents teach their youngsters the biblical definition of marriage. With colorful illustrations, the 32-page book follows two siblings, Ethan and Lila, as they attend their grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary. The two kids learn that marriage is a “signpost” pointing to God’s love.

Beverly Lewis didn’t set out to be a bestselling Amish fiction author when she released her first book in the late 1990s about the community of Lancaster, Pa.

Bestselling author Karen Kingsbury says too many of today’s children’s books include themes that aren’t appropriate for kids and that her newest book does just the opposite by reminding children that “God made you who you are.”

When the world's population was sitting at home during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, some of them forgot how to treat their neighbor, actress and author Roma Downey says.

Author Rick Warren has announced the release of his first book in over a decade and his first book since stepping down from his role as the lead pastor of Saddleback Church.

Bestselling novelist Beverly Lewis, 73, has written more than 100 adult and children's books during her career, which began in 1993 with the publication of Holly's First Love, the first in a 14-book series for pre-teen girls. She followed that with a 24-book series for children, The Cul-de-Sac Kids, before releasing her first Amish-themed book in 1997, The Shunning, which was part of The Heritage of Lancaster County series and included two more books: The Confession and The Reckoning.

A musical based on the latter Amish series will be released in theaters on February 20. Called The Confession Musical, it stars John Schneider and Chonda Pierce. Emmy-Nominated screenwriter Martha Bolton wrote the stage play.
