Janelle Sheldon and Sally Ferguson celebrate the newest release of the WordGirls Collective with a book launch party at The Arbor Coffee House Cafe & Tea Room, 340 Pennsylvania Ave. West, from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 30.

Sage, Salt & Sunshine features first-person essays about women helping women in life. Those who read the book will find these essays to be a balance of funny and serious, dialogue and narration, weighty and light. In the book, 25 authors introduce 48 life shapers and difference makers and the traits that make them extraordinary women.

All books from the series will be available for purchase at the party.

Sheldon’s blog, Sparrow’s Nest, points readers to the truths found in Scripture and inspires a wholehearted pursuit of Jesus. In addition to working on a book, Sheldon is preparing to launch her new podcast, Nestled In Truth, in January of 2024. Her blog is available at www.sparrows-nest.blog.

Ferguson speaks and writes with a look at snapshots of life. She is working on a Bible study for caregivers and lives near Jamestown with her husband and father. Visit her blog at www.sallyferguson.net.
