About
Penn Joy Press
Penn Joy Press began around a dining room table. After years of regularly gathering our family at the table to study God’s Word, we have discovered treasures we are now compelled to share with others. Some of our creative projects grew into self-published works we share here, along with life encouragement on the blog, and fiction pieces penned by the young authors in our family. So, pull up a seat and join us at our digital dining room table. We hope your time here will be an encouragement to you!
Our Books
The ABCs of God & Me
Whether or not you know it, you are a child of God. But who is God? And what does it mean to be His child?
Guardians of the Dust Book 1
(Updated Version coming early 2027!)
“There are some people who are not made for this world or its limits. You belong somewhere else, Ivy.”
Ivy Parker has never known anything but the ordinary. So when she is approached by a mysterious wizard and given the chance to leave the normal behind, she has a choice to make. Joining him may answer her questions, and finally give her a place to belong. But there is always a price. Ivy will be tested in ways she has never imagined possible, will be pushed to the limit, and will be forced into the role of hero at only 12 years old. How far will she go to escape the ordinary?
