Anything But Simple

Like her grandmother, Lucinda wears long dresses and a prayer covering. But she uses a cellphone and posts status updates on Facebook, too. Anything but Simple is the riveting memoir of a young woman’s rich church tradition, lively family life, and longings for a meaningful future within her Mennonite faith.

Winner of a 2020 Royal Dragonfly award.

Turtle Heart

What happens when a sheltered young Mennonite befriends an ornery old Ojibwe woman in order to lead her to Christ—and finds that old woman has more to teach her about God and humanity than she ever dreamed? Turtle Heart invites you into the world and perspective of a young Mennonite woman who allows love to lead her beyond her comfort zone into uncharted territory.

Winner of a 2022 Golden Scroll award.

Rosanna in the Middle

Once, along a country road in Wisconsin, lived a girl named Rosanna. Rosanna lived between her two grandmas—Grandma Anna up the road and Grandma Anna down the road. Rosanna like to think of herself as Rosanna in the middle. Join Rosanna as she learns from her grandmas to see herself as part of a much larger family of God.  Illustrated with colorful paintings on every page.

Such a beautiful way to tie everything together and leave a child with the vision of also being a part of that line of Christians. . . Thank you.

The Arrowhead

For many years an arrowhead lay hidden, buried in the soil of an Indiana farm. Then came Ted, praying and searching for an arrowhead like those his sisters had found. Will he find one? History comes alive through this story of an Indian brave, hardworking settlers, farm families, and a boy named Ted who longed to find an arrowhead of his own.

In our house, The Arrowhead is already a classic.
