Stories and guides for a life of growth, faith, and words worth keeping.
From herb gardens to prayer journals to a debut novel about a family that won't stop meddling — an introduction to the collected works of Cynthia Najera Martinez.
The Grow It Series
Four field guides that start in the dirt and end at the table, the teapot, or the medicine cabinet. Cynthia's gardening and home-herbalism books walk beginners through plants and remedies, each one a self-contained portrait: how to grow it, harvest it, and turn it into something worth savoring.
Grow It, Brew It, Soothe It
Bloom It, Brew It, Sip It
Sow It, Snip It, Season It
The Cheeky Apothecary
The Backyard Dew Harvester
New: The Cheeky Apothecary is Cynthia's playful, no-nonsense guide to homemade ointments, lotions, creams & tinctures — 30 tested recipes, nothing fancier than a double boiler and a good sense of humor required.
Words & Wisdom
Two books about the words we carry — the ones we speak over ourselves, and the ones we choose to let leave our lips at all.
"70 bold declarations of who you are in Jesus Christ."
Stronger Than the Noise is live now on Kindle, with paperback and hardcover on the way. Before It Leaves Your Lips also has its own companion journal →
The Prayer Collection
Two devotionals, two companion journals, one deeper prayer life. Each one is meant to be read and then written into — a place to answer back.

Tuesdays, Coffee, and Noah
Cynthia's debut novel — a story about the difference between the love you plan for and the love that finds you anyway, and about a family that, for all its meddling, might have gotten exactly one thing right.
