Heartfelt reflections from today's most inspirational women and beloved "Harvest House" authors are shared among lovely floral paintings from popular artist Annie LaPoint in this sweet invitation into the Creator's presence. Stormie Omartian, Kay Arthur, Elizabeth George, Lysa TerKeurst, Sharon Jaynes, Julie Clinton, Emilie Barnes, and Jennifer Rothschild offer wisdom and joy from their bestselling books as they invite women to: enjoy a daily harvest of the fruit of the Spirit; experience the refreshment of prayer; and, treasure the gift of grace in the midst of hectic days. This every-occasion gift of renewal will inspire women to bloom with possibility, purpose, and hope in the garden of their lives.

Harvest House Publishers was conceived in 1974 with just five titles and a dream in the heart of its founder, Bob Hawkins, Sr. to publish books to help the hurts of people. Within two years, five of its titles had sold more than 100,000 copies and one title was on the bestseller list for eight months in a row. By the late 1980s, Harvest House was among the top ten publishers of Christian literature. The company publishes more than 150 new books each year and offers a strong backlist of more than 1200 titles. Harvest House books gained a reputation of being affordable, trustworthy and practical by meeting people's most current needs in three major categories: self-help (relationships, family, Christian living), Bible resources (Bibles, Bible studies, topical studies), and full color gift and children's books featuring top licensed artists. More than 100 million Harvest House books have been sold worldwide in bookstores, gift stores, grocery stores, airports, mass market outlets, catalogs, on Internet sites, and in digital format online. Millions more have been sold in 75 languages around the world. Annie LaPoint works exclusively in watercolors. Her passion for gardening is reflected in her beautiful flowers, ivies, and topiaries resting in or amid mossy terracotta pots and weathered vases. Each picture features a scripture reference hidden in the design. Annie's artwork appears on ceramics, textiles, greeting cards, and other home and garden items.
