Ellie Holcomb Instagram – Hello to my fellow sojourners! It has been such a delight to hear from so many who have picked up my book, Fighting Words, and found comfort and hope in the promises of God laid out on these pages. It’s been even more wonderful hearing stories from so many people who have taken me up on the invitation to memorize scripture. Hearing how God has spoken through His word to so many of you through this book has been a gift I’ll never stop treasuring. I’m smiling wide with some of these stories running through my mind as I type this, so it is with great joy and a smile stretched across my face that I welcome you now to this of Fighting Words: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness, coming April 16th!!! This new addition carries ten extra devotionals and one more beautifully printed scripture memory invitation. Why ten more devotionals now? Quite frankly, I didn’t realize how this book would become for me like a stake of ebenezer stones made out of paper and ink, that remind me of how God has met me, encouraged me, and transformed my forgetful heart through His word. I also realized that there were some “lifer” verses, as one of my grandmother’s calls them, that I didn’t include in the first edition. “Lifer” verses are the ones that have held me steady through the storms and shadows over the years. If they were stones, they’d be smooth from years of my carrying them around in my pocket and reaching for them in moments where I desperately needed to be reminded of mercy and truth. There have also been others that have grounded songs I’ve written and have found their way to grounding me over the past few years. I found myself in shock that I didn’t include them, so they’re here now!!! Although the book won’t be available until April, you can pre-order your copy now on my website, @amazon, or at @lifeway!! Pre-orders help retailers know how many books to order before release day, so it’s very helpful for all of your favorite authors and we thank you greatly. Stay tuned this week for more exciting release updates… 🤎
