Debbie Macomber calls KNIT TOGETHER the project of her heart. Whenever she speaks, her theme is simple—don't be afraid to dream. Through personal stories, insights, and inspiration, Debbie draws alongside readers and moves them onto the path to joyful, purposeful living. As the Bible says in Psalm 139: "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb." God created us for a reason, and when we come to recognize our deepest longing, we can discover that purpose. Debbie's faith, enthusiasm, and insight will leave readers touched and eager to achieve the desires of their hearts.

Bestselling novelist Macomber ventures into nonfiction as she encourages Christian women of faith to knit themselves into God's purpose for their lives. Just as many of her novels (A Good Yarn; The Shop on Blossom Street) feature knitting and characters who knit, this narrative nonfiction employs knitting as a metaphor for a creative, persistent and visionary spiritual journey. Fans will appreciate Macomber's lively, positive outlook and the behind-the-scenes look at her personal highs and lows. Macomber joyfully recounts the often arduous road to success, interspersing these difficulties with faith issues such as dreams, risks, success, balance, relationships, work, laughter, gratitude, blessing and worship. Within each chapter, she draws upon Psalm 139 and unequivocally assures readers that God has created every person with a worthy purpose, a dream to be followed and happily realized. Practical as well as inspirational, the guide debunks common misconceptions that hinder dream actualization ("Lie number one: It's who you know. Lie number two: I'm too old. Lie number three: It's too hard"). Macomber's work is both cheerful and cheering, and both faithful fans and newcomers will resonate strongly with her delightful message. (Aug. 21)
