Join us as we welcome ASHLEY B. COLLINS on THURSDAY, APRIL 16 at 6:00 PM to celebrate the release of her new book ,BUT GOD: STORIES OF HOPE AND GRACE FROM AN ALABAMA JAIL

ABOUT THE BOOK:

But-God moments are grace-filled turning points when God steps into our circumstances and changes everything - replacing fear with peace, despair with hope, and brokenness with redemption. Rooted in Scripture and inspired by years of jail ministry, this devotional shares honest stories of transformation that remind us we all walk through seasons of struggle, doubt, loss, and renewal. While these testimonies come from individuals who are currently or formerly incarcerated, the message reaches far beyond jail walls. Each entry includes Scripture, reflection, prayer, and space to respond personally to God. This devotional invites you to encounter God's faithfulness, draw closer to His Word, and discover that He is still writing stories of grace - including yours.
