THE GARDEN WITHIN
Summer Book Club for 2026
Where the war with your emotions ends, and your most powerful life begins.
Join us this August as we dig into The Garden Within by New York Times bestselling author Dr. Anita Phillips, with a foreword by Sarah Jakes Roberts. This is a summer of soul-care — a chance to slow down, reflect, and grow in community with other women.
Dr. Phillips blends clinical psychology with biblical wisdom to help us understand our emotions instead of running from them. In these pages, you'll:
Learn why your emotions aren't the enemy — and how to stop fighting them
Understand the connection between emotional health and spiritual growth
Discover practical tools to process pain instead of suppressing it
Be equipped to tend the "garden" of your heart with intention and grace
Grow in community through honest, faith-rooted conversation
August 1 – August 29, 2026
Coffee Meet-Ups: Saturday, August 15th & Saturday, August 29th at 9:00 AM (location details coming soon!)
Save Me a Seat!
We're keeping this circle small and cozy this summer. Sign up below to join — our host will follow up with more details soon!
GOOD BOUNDARIES AND GOODBYES
Boundaries and Grief
One of the most tender threads in Good Boundaries and Goodbyes is Lysa’s honest look at grief — not just losing someone to death, but the quieter grief of loving someone who can't meet you with the same care you offer them. She makes the case that grief isn't something to bypass on the way to healthy boundaries; letting it in is what allows real healing to take root. She's honest, too, that a boundary doesn't guarantee the other person will understand or validate it — and encourages readers to grieve that reality without waiting for permission to move forward.
