A look inside
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The sample pack is free to download, print and copy for the groups you lead. We ask for your email so we can send it, and you can unsubscribe with one click.
How big is the print?
The stories are set in 18-point type with wide line spacing, the size large-print books use. Each story takes 8 to 9 minutes to read aloud.
Who writes the stories?
The Inspire21 story team, with AI assistance; every story is reviewed before it’s published and labeled as inspirational fiction. The people in them are imagined, but the small towns, kitchens and church halls will feel familiar.
Are the stories religious?
They’re clean and warm, and some mention faith or prayer in a gentle way. They suit mixed groups in senior living as well as church groups.
Will there be more?
We’re preparing a weekly edition: four new stories every Sunday morning. People who try the sample hear about it first.
