    For people who love God but struggle to pray!

    Believers know praying is a commandment and not just a good idea but being told to pray doesn’t automatically birth a love for prayer in anyone.

    We know we should pray, but precious few of us enjoy a healthy prayer life. If we manage to squeeze prayer time into our busy lives, we often end up feeling like our efforts are wasted and fruitless because we aren’t doing it right.

    Author Shellie Rushing Tomlinson knows how it feels to be stuck in a hit-or-miss prayer life while longing for a deeper connection with God. Shellie helps believers move past this common struggle so they can enjoy the life-transforming gift of prayer.

    Don’t Try to Pray Like Her: Fifteen Simple Habits to Enjoy a Realer, Richer Prayer Life is packed with Southern charm, humor, and fifteen prayer habits drawn from Shellie’s own experience. They’re each built around a short story and a practical prayer support that will help you learn to enjoy lingering in God’s presence. Grab a copy for yourself and a few of your friends and learn to linger! Lingering changes everything.

    a fresh take on the Night Before Christmas

    Generations have grown up with images of Clement Clark Moore’s classic telling of the night before Christmas. In this fresh new holiday offering, Shellie uses that very recognizable cadence to engage readers with the wonder of our Savior’s birth. This little story has been a part of her family for years. Shellie is hoping it will find a place in yours. Read more and see how you can purchase your own copy!

    Living on high alert drains your energy and steals your joy. There is a better way and Seizing the Good Life will help you find it!

    Fresh insight into the life-changing power contained in the Gospel of John

    With the Gospel according to John as her roadmap—and plenty of personal stories, insights, and a healthy dollop of humor for good measure—Shellie can help you not only rediscover the peace and joy found in friendship with Jesus, the Lover of your soul, but maintain it over the long haul. God never intended for you to hold on to a dry faith with chewed-up fingernails. You really can know peace and joy in the middle of our anxious and angry culture. A deep dive into this study will help you seize the good life once again.
