The sorrow runs deep, the questions feel unanswerable, and the emptiness is overwhelming. Cradled in Hope is a Christ-centered book for grieving moms that offers real comfort, biblical truth, and compassionate guidance through the heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss. Ashley Opliger, host of the Cradled in Hope podcast, understands this pain intimately. When her daughter, Bridget, was born into Heaven at 24 weeks, Ashley wrestled with sadness, anger, and profound questions about God's goodness. But in the midst of her grief, she uncovered a tender truth: Jesus not only cradles our babies in Heaven--He also holds and heals our broken hearts here on earth. Ashley then founded Bridget's Cradles in her daughter's memory, a national nonprofit that donates knit and crocheted cradles to hospitals in all 50 states to lovingly hold stillborn babies. The ministry now comforts thousands of grieving families through these cradles, support groups, remembrance events, and online hope-filled resources. Through this calling, Ashley has witnessed firsthand how God brings beauty from brokenness and purpose from even the deepest pain. With grace and vulnerability, Ashley guides heartbroken moms on a journey to trust Him to heal their hearts, restore their joy, and use their grief for good. Through raw honesty, heartfelt prayers, and Scripture-based encouragement, Cradled in Hope creates a sacred space for grieving moms to cry, ask why, feel the weight of their sadness, and begin to heal--not alone, but alongside Ashley, the Bridget's Cradles community, and the comforting presence of Jesus. If your arms feel painfully empty, Cradled in Hope will draw you to the embrace of Jesus--and remind you that through faith in Him, you'll spend eternity with your baby in Heaven.Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.

Today, guest host Luke Taylor talks to Iain Duguid about his new book Turning the World Upside Down, available from Crossway publishers.Accessible Exposition of Acts 1–8 Shows How God’s Mission Continues After Christ’s Ascension, Through Ordinary Believers, by the Power of the Holy Spirit In their eagerness to share the gospel, modern churches can focus on the wrong things, such as political influence, attendance numbers, or ministry techniques. This is nothing new. In the book of Acts, even Jesus’s disciples wondered which of these earthly methods he would use to establish God’s kingdom. But Jesus taught his followers then―and continues to teach us today―how the church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, will take the gospel to the nations.In this accessible exposition of Acts 1–8, Iain Duguid explores the continuing work of Jesus after the ascension. Drawing practical lessons from the life of the early church, as well as his own 30 years as a church planter, Duguid encourages believers today toward gospel-driven, Spirit-filled mission. In a culture that is increasingly hostile toward Christianity, Turning the World Upside Down equips ordinary Christians to witness to the eternal power of the gospel. Discover the latest Christian books and meet the authors behind them on Author's Corner, where Roberta Foster explores new releases in faith-based publishing.

Today, Roberta talks to Jim Putnam about his book Power of Together: Discover the Christian Life You've Been Missing, available from Baker Books publishers.An Invitation to Deeper, More Joyful, and Rewarding Relationships with God and OthersNone of us is lovable all of the time. People are unreasonable, arguments flare, feelings are hurt. And no one can make us feel worse than those closest to us.
