  • Season 2, Episode 8: Chat with Gordon Jackson about his new book, Sit, Stand, Walk, Run
    2025/06/30

    Join a fun chat about inspiration and spiritual growth and personal journeys as editors Tamera Lynn Kraft and Michelle Levigne "grill" Gordon Jackson about his new book, Sit, Stand, Walk Run.

    Make sure you check out MtZionRidgePress.com and use the code RUN (make sure to use all caps) to claim your discount on a print or ebook purchase of his book. Good through the end of July.

    Sit, Stand, Walk, Run—A Vocabulary for the Christian’s Journey is a compilation of 46 reflections on the different stages characterizing the believer’s faith journey. These stages, or postures taken along our Christian journey, range from “Waiting,” when God may seem inactive in our lives, to “Mountaintops,” experiences that are a spiritual high point. Other reflections include “Baby Steps,” as we begin our faith journey, to “Stumbling and Falling,” when we sin. Like doctors, architects, police officers and others engaged in specialized activities, theologians too have their own specialized vocabulary. But ordinary lay people don’t have to have formal training in theology to benefit from knowing and using the “journey-related” terms in this book. Having a richer vocabulary that describes our Christian journey enables us to better understand our ever deepening relationship with God our Father. Sit, Stand, Walk, Run provides the reader with that expanded vocabulary.

    Visit Gordon's blog to see what new, fascinating thoughts have been on his mind lately:

    2025/05/19

    Join editors Tamera Lynn Kraft and Michelle Levigne as we chat with one of the new members of the Mt. Zion Ridge Press family, Harriet Michael, about her new book, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE.

    In a touching story, she asks her parents isn't there anything special about her? And they show her that yes, being "stuck in the middle" is special too!

  • Season 2 Episode 3: Discussing KATHRYN, Quarry Hall Book 3
    2025/03/03

    Join Tamera Lynn Kraft and Jerah Alverado as they chat with Michelle L. Levigne about the next re-released Quarry Hall adventure, KATHRYN.

    This women's fiction, adventure series, focuses on the mobile representatives of the Arc Foundation, a philanthropical organization that looks for the people who have fallen between the cracks. They investigate before they invest, and often that leads into danger and mystery. The daughters of Quarry Hall rely on their companion guard dogs, self-defense training, and prayer to get them through sticky situations.

    Kathryn's time of retreat and reflection is interrupted to help an amnesiac fugitive escape compromised authorities to reach safety. When illness requires rest stops, and the mountains interfere with cell phone reception, she finds her faith tested, and her kind spirit strained to the breaking point by the attitude of the "damsel in distress."
