Something beautiful is unfolding at Manning the Gate Publishing. ✨

We are preparing to release and showcase a collection of powerful new voices and stories—each one completely different, yet all carrying hope, healing, truth, and transformation.

From deeply personal memoirs…To spiritually reflective devotionals…From children’s adventures that spark imagination…To thought-provoking books on neuroscience, emotional healing, and the human mind… whew!

Every manuscript we work on reminds us why stories matter. Every manuscript we read and meditate on draws us closer to Him. Honestly, i feel so blessed to be a part of people's legacies, books passed down from generation to generation.

Some books will make you cry. I know because i did! Some will challenge the way you think. Some will help you heal. Some will make your children smile before bedtime.

Jeff and i love that! There are no coincidences.

At Manning the Gate, we believe books should not all sound the same. Every author carries a unique voice, a unique journey, and a unique purpose.
Over the coming months, we cannot wait to introduce you to these upcoming titles and the incredible people behind them.

Thank you for supporting independent authors, independent publishers, and stories created with heart.

Free Books? Yes, and a must read! What's Lust Got To Do With It? is a poignant, raw, tell-all autobiography recounting four generations of sexual abuse and trauma that will leave the reader in awe of how God stepped in to intervene and break the cycles of abuse.

STOP! ✋ We need your help…

We’ve all heard the saying, “You can’t judge a book by its cover…”
But if we’re being honest—readers do it every single day.
As an author and publisher, I’ve seen firsthand how a cover can either invite someone into a story… or cause them to scroll right past it. I’ve had to change my book covers and update them over the years…

Right now, I’m working on a powerful memoir about a woman born in the late 1930s who went deaf during childhood, and we’ve explored a couple of very different cover directions.

So I’d love your honest input: Which cover draws you in more?

Which one makes you feel like you want to know her story?

What stands out to you—and why?

There are no wrong answers here.

Thank you for helping bring this story to life. ❤️

—Bonnie & Jeff, Manning the Gate Publishing

PS. Subtitles and bleed lines, font choices, will all be fixed and strategically worded before publishing.
