One of my favorite things to do online is celebrate with authors on the release of new books — and I love recommending great books to you!

This month, we have lots of reasons to celebrate! As I scrolled through the following list, I realized I’ve had the privilege of meeting four of these authors in person — what a gift!

Today is launch day for Asheritah Ciuciu’s new book, Full: Food, Jesus, and the Battle for Satisfaction.

If you’ve ever battled with food fixation or struggled with finding your satisfaction in something other than Jesus, this book is for you. In this book, Asheritah helps us refocus on the one thing that can truly satisfy our deepest longings — Jesus Christ. If you’re starting the new year with a desire to hunger more after God, grab a copy here. Learn more at www.thefull.life

Today is also release day for the sweet Kelly Balarie’s new book, Fighting Fear: Awakening Courage to Overcome Your Fears.

I doubt I know anyone who hasn’t battled with fear at some point in life — in fact, Kathie Lee Gifford even featured Fear Fighting on the Today Show as one of her favorite things!

While we rang in the new year, Dorothy Greco released her book into the world: Making Marriage Beautiful: Lifelong Love, Joy, and Intimacy Start with You.

Let me just tell you — I’ve read a lot of marriage books in my day. Some people may ask why we need another one. Dorothy actually answers that question in one of her blog posts. Personally, I was pleasantly surprised by Dorothy’s offering and found her words and perspective to be both fresh and thorough. She makes an effort to provide a diversity of voices in the couples she interviewed, and openly shares the wisdom she has gleaned from twenty-five years of marriage. Her obvious dependence on God as the agent of change is a great reason to invest in this book.

I can’t think of a better person to write about enjoying God’s good gifts than the delightful Trillia Newbell. I had the pleasure of meeting Trillia at our Five Minute Friday retreat and she is an absolute gem. Her new book, Enjoy: Finding the Freedom to Delight Daily in God’s Good Gifts is now available and is well worth your time.
