When You Work for the Church

I’m pleased to recommend a beautiful new book for children and families and for your church library. Every Breath, Every Blessing: Finding Hope on Tough Days is written by Dorena Williamson and illustrated by Paran Kim (Zonderkidz, 2025).

I love the way the book begins with acknowledging life as a precious gift from God. We are each wonderfully and lovingly created.

Yet in this life :

happiness can flow like a peaceful river,
or sadness can come in on rolling waves.

On good days and every day, we are loved and not alone. In tough times, we can wait and pray, we can talk with one another or sit in silence, we can help others and look for blessings.

This is a beautiful book of faith and hope written by Dorena Williamson, the author of several other children’s books that adults need too. She is a co-founder of Strong Tower Bible Church in Nashville, Tennessee, where she currently serves as Associate Minister of Belonging.

Disclosure: I know Dorena from my Redbud Writers Guild and received a complimentary copy of Every Breath, Every Blessing from Zonderkidz. The choice to review and any opinions expressed are my own and freely given.
