Special Announcements

Facing the Storm

Picture of Facing The Storm book. Facing the Storm follows the spiritual journey of Juli, a young and talented graphic design intern. When she shares a startling Biblical discovery with her boyfriend, she is met with a barrage of arguments that sends her back to God's Word - and a helpful friend - for answers. As she continues her research, powerful people and unexpected events threaten her career dreams and brings her to a crossroads. Will Juli choose to face the storm rather than give up her faith? Facing the Storm is now available in print, Kindle, Nook, iBook and Audiobook formats from Remnant Publications or call (800) 423-1319 toll free.
