What people are saying:
"Louie's Big Day! delighted me! I thought the idea was unique, the writing superb, and the illustrations professionally done. All through the book I kept thinking, 'I'd love to give this to my friends with young children.' Maria Morgan has a winner here, and I can't wait to see what she does with future Louie books." ~ SUSAN J. REINHARDT, author
"My grandkids loved the book Louie's BIG day! It is a book we will be reading often! After reading we all enjoyed the questions at the end of the book. It made for some great discussions about God making us for a special purpose and facing our fears. Also, how important friends are in our life. Five stars from our family!" ~ DARLENE KING, mom & grandmother
"Toy Story gave us the secret life of toys...now Louie's BIG day! gives us the secret life of yard tools! Small and big fry alike will get a chuckle out of Maria Morgan's charming little tale, with equally delightful illustrations by Sherrie Molitor, as Louie faces natural nerves over his first real job and the sadness of leaving his friends behind, only to revel in the joy of performing his designed calling. With a "Lesson Corner" and link to a free audiobook at the end." ~

God Speaking: Learning at the Feet of the Master
God Speaking is a series of ten, short, devotions containing important lessons God taught me through the everyday things of life. I’ll let you in on a wonderful secret: the same loving God is pursuing you!
My hope is for you to realize God longs for a vital relationship with you.
Communication is a key component in any relationship, and it’s no different with God.
He speaks through His book, the Bible, inviting us to listen and act on what we’ve heard. We’re encouraged to share everything with Him, knowing that He hears us.
I trust this little book will challenge you to pursue a deeper relationship with the One who made you. I have no doubt God will show up in the ordinary things in your life if you’re looking for Him!
What readers are saying:
"These practical and powerful devotions provide a taste of God's presence in bite-sizes that you'll savor all day long." - JODY HEDLUND, best-selling author
"Maria experiences those frustrating moments that are common to all of us, but she has a gift for applying the magnifying glass of Scripture to bring into focus truths about herself. Devastatingly honest, she sifts the tattletale minutes of her day that most of us sweep under the rug because we would rather forget what we saw in ourselves. Never once does she imply, ‘Hey, you have this problem, too.’ Instead, she humbly shares what she’s learned at the feet of her Master, and we are the better for her transparency." - STEPHANIE REED, author
"Honest and compelling. Whether you’re struggling with anger, rejection, or your faith, Maria has a way of taking her words and personalizing them just for you." - SUNDI JO GRAHAM, author & speaker
