Also included is a dot journal, coloring pages, and encouraging quotes to cling to as they navigate the difficult road to healing.
Inspire Honor
Honor is a complex and nuanced concept. The Bible is saturated with exhortations to honor those around us, including our parents, friends, family, ourselves, those in leadership, and, most importantly, God.
Many people worry that honor is a disappearing character trait … that we’ve lost the art of thinking of others in the way we have been biblically instructed. But have we?
This anthology is a collection of stories, poems, and pieces of nonfiction which exemplify the different forms honor takes, and the different ways it impacts, or could impact, our lives.
We hope their words encourage you, bless you, and reignite the desire to demonstrate the Christ-like character trait of honor.
Lainey La Shay’s short story “Climbing Toward Honor” is included in this inspiring anthology.
