  We’re thrilled to announce that Eli’s Christmas Star , the heartwarming children’s book by Sammy Sutton, has been honored with the Golden Wizard Seal 2026. This tender, faith-filled story follows a little boy named Eli who asked Jesus for a family. On Christmas night, under a bright shining star, he finds exactly what he hoped for — a mom, a dad, a little brother, and a place to belong. With soft golden-blonde hair, large blue eyes, and a wonder-filled heart, Eli’s journey is brought to life through beautiful watercolor-and-realistic hybrid illustrations that glow with Christmas warmth. The Golden Wizard Seal recognizes outstanding children’s literature, and we’re honored that Eli’s Christmas Star has received this distinction. It’s a perfect read for families, especially those touched by foster care, adoption, or simply looking for a meaningful Christmas story to share at bedtime. Pair it with the companion song “Star in the Snow,” which captures the emotion of the story in...

Before dawn, Shiloh Malachi writes one small word on a blank name tag and walks into the room where someone is still awake. A cycle of 33 stories by Sammy Sutton. Shiloh is the title in Genesis 49:10, “until Shiloh comes,” long read as messianic. Malachi means “my messenger,” and is the last prophetic book before the silence. Before dawn, the name tag is blank on purpose. Shiloh Malachi turns it in his fingers on a bench that does not belong to any one employer. Plastic, clip still good, the kind a night-shift manager hands you from a drawer and never asks for back. He has not written tonight’s word yet. The guitar case sits against his knee like a second person who already knows the hour. He is not waiting for a bus. He writes one small word. JANITOR. GROUNDSKEEPER. SUBSTITUTE. Then he goes inside. That is the whole method of Who is Shiloh Malachi? , a cycle of 33 stories by Sammy Sutton. A nurse fighting a custody hearing after a double shift. A soldier who has not unpacked the duffe...

  Thanksgiving morning smells like cinnamon, butter, and roasting turkey. Then Phoebe Ann scratches at the door with serious news: the centerpiece pie is gone, the turkey timer is silent, and the backyard squirrels are marching in a suspiciously straight line. Oliver Doodle pushes up his glasses, straps on his backpack, and starts where every good mystery starts. With crumbs. Phoebe Ann, a brindle French bulldog in pearls, is not about to let Thanksgiving be outsmarted. Maple the cat joins from a sunny porch. Benny the squirrel insists he is not part of any pie plot, even with cinnamon on his whiskers. Above them, Grandma Dot’s clever crow, Indigo, calls, “This way!” The trail leads past the fence, through crunching leaves, and to a little woodland table where the missing pie sits in the middle. Oliver does not stomp. He does not shout. He sits down in the leaves and listens. A warm Thanksgiving picture book about clues, crumbs, and making room at the table. For families who want ...

The name tag is blank on purpose. Before dawn, Shiloh Malachi writes a small word on it—JANITOR, GROUNDSKEEPER, SUBSTITUTE—and walks into the room where someone is still awake. A nurse fighting a custody hearing after a double shift. A soldier who has not unpacked the duffel in eleven months. A teenage hacker about to flood a neighborhood to avenge his sister’s lungs. A widow angry at the grass. A doctor who signed a footnote that became a funeral. He does not preach. He listens. He plays a guitar because it pleases His Father. Then he leaves the next step in the only hands that can take it. It’s a cycle of 33 stories that moves from hospital closet to cemetery oak, from computer lab to loading dock, from a child’s ward to the office of a president who deletes the lullaby. The question in the title is never answered with a vision. It is answered the way the book itself works: one true thing, done without an audience. For judges: this is faith fiction that refuses spectacle. The theolog...

  A mysterious stranger with a blank name tag and a guitar appears in the lives of people at the edge of collapse. He offers no easy miracles, only truth, mercy, and one next step. Who is Shiloh Malachi? is a moving cycle of modern parables about guilt, grief, faith, justice, and the unsettling presence of grace. THE NURSE Morning came in through the lace curtains in thin strips and laid itself across the kitchen table, the syrup bottle, and the two plates. Maria Santos moved the way she always moved before a double shift: navy scrubs, hair in a ponytail that would hold for sixteen hours, and lunch already zipped in its bag. The bungalow was yellow because she had painted it herself on a Tuesday when she should have slept. The roses by the walk were hers too. Japanese beetles had been at the leaves again, and she had picked them off at dawn with her fingers, one by one, before Lucas woke. "Shoes," she called. "The bus will be here in five minutes." He came do...

  Sammy Sutton’s Concealed is not content to treat the “last things” as distant theology. Instead, it turns eschatology into narrative momentum—something readers experience through escalation, unraveling, and revelation. For Christian readers, the book’s power lies in how its scenes embody end-times themes: concealment becomes a pressure test, deception becomes a plot engine, tribulation becomes a spiritual diagnostic, and hope becomes communal worship rather than private optimism. At the heart of the novel is a pattern that feels unmistakably eschatological: concealment gives way to revelation . Rather than presenting truth as steady, obvious, and easily trusted, the story shows reality wearing veils—systems that look orderly, authority that sounds reasonable, and narratives designed to keep people from seeing what is really happening. As pressure rises, those veils begin to thin, and the book repeatedly stages moments when characters can no longer pretend they do not ...

“This is for anyone who feels like the odds are stacked too high, who believes that survival and success can’t coexist. It’s proof that, even in the harshest conditions, a meaningful and fulfilled life can still be built.” New York, NY, --- Deeply personal and unflinching, All Is Well is the memoir of Matin Miryeganeh (Mah-TEEN Meer-yeh-GAH-neh), a senior research scientist who has survived immense trauma—not only in the world outside, but also within the walls of her own home. After losing her mother, grandparents, and other close family members in quick succession in addition to a complex and sometimes volatile relationship with her father, a young Matin was left emotionally neglected and profoundly alone in her own household. With no one to turn to, she buried herself in books, studying with quiet determination to create a future no one else believed in. She moved from Iran to Japan in hope of a fresh start and to further her education, but the challenges didn’t end there. In adulth...

  Heaven When the Chaos Ends: Does It Comfort—or Feel Like the Story Paused? There are questions we ask out loud when life breaks open—what went wrong, where God was, why the pain didn’t stop. And then there are questions we don’t always dare to speak: When the chaos finally ends, does Heaven comfort people… or can it feel like the story stops too soon? The honest answer is: both. Because turmoil is real. And longing is real. And Heaven—true Heaven—meets the heart in whatever condition it’s in. When Heaven Feels Like Refuge I’ve seen how the thought of Heaven can steady a trembling heart. In some moments, Heaven isn’t a concept floating at a distance. It becomes a horizon—something you can finally face. In those seasons, Heaven comforts because it offers what the present cannot: ·          an ending to what felt unfinished ·          justice that doesn’t disappear when we run out of ex...
