Power Up

If God spoke directly to you, would you listen?

Would you still say “God is good” if tragedy came knocking on your door?

Join eleven-year-old Lexi on an eye-opening journey of empowerment and Holy-Spirit-discovery as she juggles family and friends, church and school. Sometimes the most important things in life unfold in the most unexpected ways.

“I believe God longs to partner with our kids. Power Up beautifully illustrates the wonderful adventure of getting to know the Holy Spirit and what can happen in our lives as we learn to obey his prompting. I’m excited to share Lexi’s journey with my children!” –Putty Putman, author of Live Like Jesus and Kingdom Impact

“What an amazing little book to share with the whole family! This story was a roller coaster ride of excitement after young Lexi learns in a month what most people spend a lifetime trying to understand and usually miss out on. I laughed out loud, I felt the stress and fear that the characters felt and I cried along with them through sad, scary and joyful experiences lived out in this book! This is an amazing book that highlights the simple process of getting to know the Holy Spirit, the most left out and forgotten part of the Trinity. I can’t wait for the rest of my family to read this book!” – Amazon reviewer

POWER UP won the 2020 Christian Indie Award for children’s middle grade fiction, as well as second place in the 2020 Selah Awards for the same category!

*****

POWER UP was a passion project of mine after I searched for similar books about the Holy Spirit to read aloud and discuss with my kids and came up empty. Turns out I’ve received far more feedback from adults than kids, who have read it and been touched by the lessons within the pages. I hope you’ll check it out, whatever age you are!
