Why Granberry Books?
Granberry Books was born out of need. As homeschoolers, we were looking for entertaining read-alouds, that would help us stay connected to our teenagers. As our kids got older, read-alouds became the last stand for intentional time together, and we needed books that would help us remain close. We wanted books that shared the hope of the Gospel while entertaining and delighting our kids. We wanted character-driven fiction that would showcase God’s grace in redeeming the worst of sinners and in so doing, give our teenagers hope. We wanted books that would help our kids start seeing us parents as fellow soldiers on the battlefield of faith. We wanted books that would help them move toward us as friends instead of away from us as adversaries. We wanted to help teenagers realize their value as a sibling. Granberry Books was born out of the fires of parenting through the teen years. We want to help!
We also wanted a book just for homeschool moms because we know how lonely your job can be. We wrote The Mamas to spread the message that we’re better together! Even though we’d burned and been burned a time or two in friendship, we wanted to show that with a Kingdom mind-set, busy homeschool moms can build faithful friendships that will last. Our books are about learning to trust friendship again, tightening the bonds of family, and growing your faith.
One last thing, and it’s kind of a big deal. Granberry Books is a pro-life, pro-parent, freedom loving company. Because of their policies, we wanted to remove our books as far from AMZ as possible. What we found out is that AMZ is a lot like Hotel California. ‘You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.’ While our home library is stocked and you can purchase on this site, our books are still available on AMZ. One day, all will be set right, but for now we must be in the world and not of it. Thanks for supporting our ideal!

Liar- Based on Everyone’s True Story
“Ugly. Stupid. Worthless. Weak.”
This is a book like no other. (It was written to be a homeschool read-aloud!) Teach your teenager to battle the enemy of his soul and of your relationship!
A young prince embarks on a quest to rescue a kingdom doomed.
The kingdom of Struggle is being lied to by an unseen enemy: LIAR. Lurking in the sinister forest, Liar attacks the minds of the villagers by whispering subtle thoughts into their ears. “Ugly. Idiot. Weak. Worthless. Impossible to love.” At night, his poisonous serpent vines advance against a people ignorant of his crimes. Liar has been warring against Struggle without opposition and his greatest harvest is truth.
Poor, orphaned, and alone, the unlikey-named Prince sparks a rebellion. A beautiful, mysterious woman is dying from Liar’s wounds, but Prince is determined to rescue her. His brother is also marked for death, so Prince must save him too. Fear sends out tentacles of mistrust, and Prince’s hope is crushed beneath Liar’s curse, “Everyone you love dies in the end.”
For Prince to rescue a kingdom held captive by Liar, he must trust the King and the mysterious woman to help him. Praying for courage he does not possess, Prince embarks on the quest and risks his very life…for love.

The Mamas- Motherhood Not Required
Can Friendship Change The World?
Four women become unlikely friends through the power of prayer and community. With feet to the fire in their commitment to each other, Brooklyn, Hannie, Kathryn, and Wren determine to live free, vulnerable, and unashamed lives with each other and with the world. Whether it’s surviving a period blowout at the doctor’s office, suffering a disastrous day of homeschooling, or watching one of their kids pee off the high dive at a public pool, these friends hold fast! Chronic pain, illness, addiction, and the anguish of infidelity are some of the life fires they must navigate, but ‘The Mamas’ walk through them together. They walk through them together – in Christ.
Hilarious and heartbreaking, this book isn’t just for mothers, and it’s not just for Christians. It’s for all women desiring closer friendships and a deeper, more honest life. Come join the adventure, and welcome to The Mamas!
(Hurray! Our men tell us it’s a great bathroom book, and that it’s helping them better understand the women in their lives.)

Link arms, grit your teeth, lean in, and start changing the world one friendship at a time!

Find your way back to connection and joy. Leave isolation behind you and recover a life rich in friendship.
The mamas want you to know you’re not alone. We’re struggling too, and we hope this study will help. Far from the usual, our Companion Study is so casual, you’ll feel like you’re having coffee with us. (This workbook is our pride and joy.) We’re cheering for all you mamas and you mamas at heart.
