Discover the gift of friendship! In a time when many women feel lonely and isolated, Girls’ Club calls us to embrace the delight and comfort that can be found in life-giving friendships with women— and to cultivate relationships that not only offer emotional affirmation and acceptance, but also inspire, educate, and stretch us to live out our God-given potential. Told through stories and encouragement based on the authors’ experiences—Sally, a seasoned mother and well beloved author; her daughter Sarah, an Oxford scholar and new mother; and her youngest daughter Joy, a professional young woman pursuing her doctorate—Girls’ Club will speak to the importance of cultivating deep and lasting friendship at every stage in life. Join Sally, Sarah, and Joy as they explore the power, difficulties, potential, beauty, and satisfaction of friendships that help us live purposeful, Godly lives and that satisfy our longing for meaningful and intimate companionship. Also available: The Girls’ Club Experience (9781496436115), a companion guide to help women plant and deepen the roots of friendship.

HOPE FOR AMERICA’S YOUTH, BEYOND THE BLUE DOORS OF A BOYS & GIRLS CLUB is an exploration of how caring adults can ignite the bright potential of America’s youth. After the loss of her beloved mentor—when the doors of her career in government were slamming shut—Jane Sutter found new purpose, renewed faith, and hope as the CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County. Now retired, she catches up with some of her former “Club kids” to see where life has taken them since they walked out those blue doors. Interwoven with their stories is her own journey to—and through—those same doors. She uses the stories of individual Club kids (as well as exceptional volunteers and professional staff) to shine a light on issues of self-esteem, childhood trauma, and generational poverty. Sutter believes it is important to share a sense of hope with young people from all walks of life, not just those in our immediate families, to create stronger, more-compassionate communities.
