Last night, we had a small but mighty gathering online, that I think everyone who was there would agree really did feel full of blessings both literally and metaphorically :)
Many thanks to our wonderful writers for sharing their work, and extra thanks to our audience for coming along and for all that you do to support our work.
We will put together some postcards from the blessings we heard last night and make them available on the website later month, so keep an eye on the newsletter and on here for those!

All of the books we talked about last night are available on www.ionabooks.com, and we are very grateful for every single copy that you buy🙏

Mondays can be hard.,so we're sharing a quiet offering to begin the week. A short clip of Sandra Sears reading from Redeeming Our Cracks, a book that reminds us: there is beauty in brokenness, and strength in showing up, just as we are.
This title has sparked more heartfelt responses than almost any we’ve published,perhaps because mental health isn’t a side issue. It’s something that affects almost everyone.
May this be the start of agentle, and peaceful week ahead.
