Ever Upward
Redefine your story and rise — especially when life doesn’t go as planned.
“I’ve done a lot of book reviews over the years, but none have come as close to telling my story as this one did. Described as “a voice to those silenced by infertility,” Justine Brooks Froelker’s Ever Upward does just that. Sharing personal stories from her life, Justine uses her voice to explain the stigma that comes with infertility; that if your story ends with a childless life, you have somehow failed to have your happily ever after.”
Lessons in Ever Upward
Real-life tools to choose change, care for yourself, and rise—ever upward. (E-book only.)
“I read ever upward and was excited to see Justine elaborate about her self care practice. She lists references after each section that can help you get started. I am trying several of her suggestions, especially the nighttime routine and probiotics. I’ll keep adding to my routine. I’ve already noticed feeling more rested and my anxiety levels about family and work are more manageable because I take time at night to plan my next day.”
Taking Flight: An Ever Upward™ Coloring Journal
Color, reflect, and find your way through the darkness to embrace the light.
“I found out about Justine Brooks Foelkner through a free study on infertility in the Bible app. I loved her style so much that I ended up buying her books and this journal coloring book. I love how there’s a short description of each picture and I love the writing prompts in the journal sections. Very well done! Thank you for helping me find a way to connect to my story through this journal and to trust God’s plan for my life ??”
The Mother of Second Chances
Grief, redemption, and everything in between – seven years of blogging in one book.
“This is a wonderful book that has helped me feel like I’m not alone in my infertility journey. I see myself in her journey and am encouraged to share my story because of her courageous words. Justine writes in an easily relatable style that helps the reader form an instant connection with her, almost as if you are having a conversation with her. She is brave, honest, and vulnerable in sharing the details of her story. This book includes short essays that highlight both the difficult parts and the successes of her journey and I was amazed at the growth I could see in her throughout this book. These stories give the reader hope that you too can do the work to rise when something in your life doesn’t turn out the way you hoped it would. If you have been through infertility, you will see yourself in her words no matter what your outcome was. If you haven’t been through infertility, you will see someone you know in her words or you will see yourself in her words in a different way. Her story has taught me how to work to create my own happy ending. Her words have changed my life forever.”
The Complicated Gray
A raw, honest look at what it means to grief and fight for your faith authentically.
“This is my third book of Justine’s and I LOVE it just like I loved the other three. Justine provides so much about her journey to overcoming obstacles and becoming a better person with the love of Jesus. I really appreciate her story telling, I can relate to a lot of what she has experienced. I really appreciate that she recognizes that this life is always a work in progress. And she inspires me to keep reminding myself of this. God has a plan, and we just need to break down our walls to fully understand and embrace HIS plan! Beautiful story telling and inspiring words. Thank you Justine!”
Rest & Receive
Find peace in God’s constant presence—your refuge in the dark.
“What a breathtaking and beautifully written devotional!!! It came into my life at the perfect time. It allowed me to think. It challenged me to rest. It brought heaven down. It pushed God close. I would constantly find the words of this devotional swirling around my mind throughout the day. I couldn’t escape the truth it brought to my life… that there is a God that comforts all, that leans in close, and stays with us regardless of how things look or feel. I’m so grateful for the author Justine for following Gods call on her life and for writing this book for people like me who need these words. Love this devotional! ?”
Pelia the Marvel: faith edition
A faith-filled journey through the life of a monarch butterfly
“Children will easily relate to the story of Pelia the butterfly and will see how Pelia’s journey parallels their own journey through life with God always at their side. Justine’s ability to weave Pelia’s story with the truth of God’s love for us is masterful and the beautiful illustrations are powerful in adding to this life changing message for children. God loves us and always will. All children (and adults) need this book and this message in their lives!”
Pelia the Marvel: secular/school edition
A powerful reminder that you are resilient, loved, and truly a marvel.
“Excellent colors and feel in real-life book. Beautiful images add richness to the story of monarch butterfly development, which is used to teach strength and resilience. The author is well-known for helping adults realize the strength and resilience they have inside themselves. I purchased this book as soon as it hit the shelves and I was not disappointed. I will treasure it always.”
100 Devotions for Kids Dealing with Anxiety
Faith-filled support for anxiety struggles —because kids deserve tools that heal, not fix.
“Justine’s ability to bring Scripture into everyday life for kids is remarkable. Children of all ages (and adults too) will not only feel the loving arms of God around them while reading this devotional, but they will also come away with practical steps to use in their day-to-day lives to help with their anxiety. Justine does an amazing job of reminding the reader that God is right there with them, loving them each and every day, especially when they might not feel it. This book is an incredible tool for families!”
Marvel Undone
Rewrite the lies—live loved and free in God’s truth.
“I absolutely love this book. I loved going through the stages of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly and seeing how much work their metamorphosis is! We as humans have our own version of metamorphosis. It is hard work, but leaning on God’s word we can come back stronger. This book is beautifully written and includes Bible verses to guide us through our own metamorphosis!”
Little Winston & His Big Feelings
Real-life tools to choose change, care for yourself, and rise—ever upward. (E-book only.)
“I read ever upward and was excited to see Justine elaborate about her self care practice. She lists references after each section that can help you get started. I am trying several of her suggestions, especially the nighttime routine and probiotics. I’ll keep adding to my routine. I’ve already noticed feeling more rested and my anxiety levels about family and work are more manageable because I take time at night to plan my next day.”
