Ever dreamed of writing a book?

Our Collaboration Books Are the Perfect Place to Start!

Imagine... holding a book you helped write and sharing that book with your world!

When writers unite around a shared theme, they build connections, amplify their voices, and create a meaningful work that resonates more deeply with readers.


A COLLABORATIVE BOOK MEANS:

A collaborative book at hope*books is more than just a collection of stories—it’s a shared journey. For authors, it’s an opportunity to be part of a supportive writing community, gain publishing experience, and impact readers without the commitment of writing a full-length book. For readers, it’s a deeply relatable and meaningful resource, filled with voices that resonate, encourage, and offer hope. Each book is carefully curated to ensure a cohesive and impactful message, amplifying the power of storytelling in a way that uplifts both writers and readers alike.

So what is a collaborative book?

TEN AUTHORS, ONE VOICE:

A collaborative book brings together ten authors, each contributing a chapter that offers unique stories, perspectives, and expertise on a central theme. The result is a rich, diverse collection that provides readers with encouragement, wisdom, and inspiration through a variety of voices and insights.

KEY THEME:

Each of our collaborative books are theme-based. Our team helps to match authors with a theme that most resonates with their stories of hope.

CHAPTER LENGTH:

Each selected author will contribute their own chapter, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words. Throughout the process, authors will have plenty of opportunities to collaborate, communicate, and offer support to one another as they work together on this project.

The Greatest of These

Summary
Love: The Greatest of These is the first volume in the Fruits of the Spirit Collaborative Book Collection—a powerful series featuring stories that bring Galatians 5:22-23 to life.

This book explores the fruit of love through raw, authentic stories of people who have loved with abandon, through pain, against the odds, and beyond themselves. From adoptive parents saying yes to the unknown, to spouses fighting for covenant love, to individuals choosing grace when it wasn’t earned—each chapter offers a window into the transforming power of God's love at work.

Whether you're navigating your own relationship challenges, longing to love others better, or looking for hope, Love: The Greatest of These will stir your heart and strengthen your faith in the God who is love.
