NEW! A fun resource for parents with young children!
Hey parents! Do you want to end the day on a happy note with your preschooler? Want to turn bedtime routines into memory-making moments?
Tuck-Me-In will help you accomplish that goal.
Each packet comes with 90 questions to stimulate your child's imagination and generate conversation. Download the PDF file and print it on cardstock. Cut the cards along the lines and place them in a resealable plastic bag. Tuck the packet under your child's pillow or on a nightstand. At bedtime, ask him/her to select one card. Read it together, and then listen to your child’s response.
You'll share a few laughs. You'll gain insights into your child's mind. And you'll build a loving bond with your precious little person.
Our youngest will soon be 21 years old. Seventeen years have passed since we did this with her, but we still remember the excitement on her face and in her voice when bedtime rolled around. "I want this card," she'd say, pulling her choice from the bag. "What does it say?"
My prayer is that your youngster will enjoy
Tuck-Me-In as much as our daughter did. By the way, you might want to keep a pen and paper handy to record your child's answers. Kids say the cutest things!

Moving From Fear to Freedom
Fear has two sides - an upside and a downside. The downside is that it can hold women hostage, robbing us of joy and preventing us from experiencing life as God intended. But the upside....that's a different story. The very fears we face can become catalysts for personal growth and opportunities to know the Lord in a more intimate way. Filled with real-life stories and loaded with Scripture, this book promises to lead its readers from fear to freedom. With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Grace helps you to:
- Overcome the fear for your kids’ well-being to embrace God’s purpose for their lives.
- Rise above the fear of inadequacy to accept new opportunities at work or church.
- Overcome the fear of rejection to pursue new friendships or mentor younger women.

Here’s an example of what readers are saying about this book:
“Moving from Fear to Freedom is one of those books that gives you “ants in your pants” while you read. It was hard not to run and pick up the phone to share the insights with a friend. I was constantly distracted with thoughts of the positive impact Grace’s book would make to women’s ministry. Each chapter revealed new strategies for women to move from fear-based paralysis into God’s incredible peace-promised will. Empowering, insightful and relevant! I can hardly wait to pass a copy of this book along knowing that once I’ve done so, I can settle into reclaiming the pages for my own spiritual growth. Impossible not to get excited!”
--- Tami W.
“Your book, Moving From Fear to Freedom, has changed my life. Fear was almost incapacitating me, but is no longer something I struggle with. Long story short, I feared every move my kids made. I'm grateful for your faithfulness to write the words in that book and show me how to release to the Lord in a way I was 'fearful' of doing.”
--– Samantha P.
“Moving From Fear to Freedom was a great study for our ladies’ group. It was relevant to all who attended, and participants rarely missed a week! As we moved through the book, we learned to give our issues to God and to rely on His faithfulness. If you’re looking for an easy-to-read study book, this is it. Our women now have confidence that Jesus is greater than any fear we have and can conquer it if we give it to Him.”
--- Robin S. - women’s ministry leader, AB

What are readers saying about this family devotional?
“Our two children, ages 9 and 7, have become enthused about bedtime because of the stories and scriptures from your book that are speaking to their hearts. Our thanks for such relevant and interesting topics that have blessed us with great discussion and prayer time.”
--- Tracy S.
“When I interviewed you for that book a few months ago, I had no idea how it would impact my own life. I have a grandson who visits frequently. Each time he’s here, I read one of the stories to him and then use the discussion questions to talk about what we’ve read. I used to read the Scripture to him but that put him to sleep. Now he can hardly wait to read the devotionals and talk about what he’s learning.”

What are readers saying about this book?
“10-Minute Time Outs for Busy Women was given to me as a gift from my secret sister at church. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! And thank the good Lord for blessing you with the gift to write. I am a wife and stay-at-home mom of 4 boys (ages 2 to 9 years) and sometimes I have a difficult time making time for the Lord. Your book came at just the right time because I was feeling like I had come to the end of my rope and your devotional helped me to tie a knot at the end of that rope and hang on. So, thanks again and please keep sharing your gift with others - it is a blessing!!”
--- Amy C.
