In the almost ten years since I have started this website, I have been blessed by the encouragement of family, friends, and fans who have followed my work. Whether it be my early blog posts, my spoken word poetry on YouTube, my book reviews, my own books, or my digital products, I am grateful for those of you that have been supportive of my work. As I am looking toward the future, I am excited about the opportunities for this ministry to grow and expand its reach. But for this to happen, I would like to ask those that follow my work to consider finding one or more ways to support the work of Abiding Grace Ministries. What is Abiding Grace Ministries?Before I continue, I want to clarify what I mean when I talk about Abiding Grace Ministries. This is the term to use to explain all the ministry projects under one banner. Most of these projects are classified under outreaches of Abiding Grace Ministries, including:
1) Follow Author Bethel Grove (and Other Accounts) on Social MediaThe first thing you can do to help is follow my social media accounts. Most of my official accounts are under the name Author Bethel Grove: Author Bethel Grove This will be where I will post updates on most of my publications/resources and my book reviews. However, I also have separate accounts for Simple Youth Ministry, Teen Girl Youth Ministry, and Operation Shoebox Resources where I will occasional share about the release of relevant resources in each respective niche. I will list all the links here. While I don’t expect anyone to follow all of them, you should follow any that spark your interest or recommend them to anyone that might be interested. Simple Youth Ministry Teen Girl Youth Ministry Operation Shoebox Resources 2) Subscribe to Bethel's NewsletterThe next thing you can do is subscribe to my email newsletter. This is the way that I send occasional updates on the work of Abiding Grace Ministries and share prayer requests for the needs of the ministry. I am admittedly not the best at being consistent with sending this newsletter out, but I hope to get more consistent in the future. You will also get an exclusive eBook download for free.  3) Visit Bethel's Website and Online StoresThe next way you can help is to visit my website. If you are reading this post, you are already on my website. So this step will involve you exploring other pages, such as my book reviews and the pages that describe my books and products. This will increase the traffic on my website and will help you become familiar with the resources I’ve created in hopes that you will be able to recommend them to others who can use them. You can also visit one of my online stores. Most of my digital resources are available on https://bethelgrovestore.com. However, my youth ministry resources are available on https://simpleyouthministry.org. Some of the resources are available on Gumroad (https://www.bethelgrove.gumroad.com). I also have apparel and accessories collections for both Abiding Grace Ministries and Simple Youth Ministry on multiple platforms.

And if you choose to purchase something, all the better. 4) Buy a Book or ResourceOne of the most helpful things that you can do is purchase any of my books and/or resources. Whether you buy them for yourself or for someone else who would find them useful, making a purchase goes a long way to making them more discoverable internet searches and spreading the word. 5) Recommend a Book or ResourceIf you know youth leaders or Operation Christmas Child volunteers who could use the books or resources here, please share them. This again will go a long way in spreading the word. 6) Review a Book or ResourceIf you have finished reading one of my books or using one of my resources, writing and posting a review on retails sites can make a huge difference in helping others decide to purchase it. If you are interested in review specific books or resources but can't afford to purchase them, email me at [email protected]. 7) Join Bethel's PatreonThe last thing that you can do to help this ministry grow is to support my work on Patreon. If you haven’t heard of this site, it’s a crowdfunding site that will allow me to ask for monthly contributions in exchange for exclusive updates and rewards. While this is a newer concept, I see it as a modern version of support raising, as many of ministries and missionaries have done for over 200 years. For Christians, it gives them an opportunity to ask fellow believers to partner with them in their ministry. For a little as $5 per month, you can support my work on a monthly basis while also getting exclusive updates through my Patreon feed and a free eBook or digital product from my store of your choice. Other rewards are available at higher tiers, such as your name in the acknowledgments of future publications and a free print book. The money earned here will help me improve my current publications and publish more books and digital resources. Just Do What You CanI know that most of you that read this will not be able to do every single thing on this list, especially providing support on Patreon. That's totally OK. If all you do is read a few book reviews, that's still helpful. If you just subscribe to my newsletter, that is still a great way to support this work. I will continue to do the work that will build this ministry. But anything you can do to help is appreciated and will be seen as a blessing.

Lion's Eyes Reviews is a blog dedicated to reviews of Christian books, most of which are non-fiction, but may also occasionally review movies and musicals. It will also feature the work Bethel does to help launch and promote the works of Christian authors.
The name is derived from one of Bethel's favorite books, Through the Eyes of a Lion by Levi Lusko. Through these reviews, Bethel hope to give Christians the tools they need to look at the world "through the eyes of a lion" so they can find the courage to "run toward the roar".

Bethel Grove is a Christian young woman who loves to read and write, eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzards, and disciple teen girls as a youth leader. What started as a hobby of writing book reviews and doing deep biblical studies eventually led her down the path of self-publishing and supporting other Christian authors and ministry volunteers. She hopes to someday be a vocational youth minister and well-known author.
