ABOUT THE MISSION
Read. Gift. Change Lives.
All Honest to God book sale profits go to the education and vocational training of young adults who are under-resourced, through the proven programs of Compassion International and Convoy of Hope.
Each author contributed their writing free of all fees and royalties so a greater share of profit would be available to lift young adults out of poverty. These charities fund well-established programs to educate and train young adults in a supportive faith environment, and we want to fuel the meaningful work they’re doing in the fight against poverty.
As the author group, we’re excited to take this step of unity in Jesus’ name to break cycles of poverty. We’d love to link arms with whoever wants to take this step with us. Buy a gift for a friend, and join our mission!
