A Conversation with Shannan Martin &amp; Jen Hatmaker

In a time when the world feels especially heavy, Fables Books invites you to gather for a morning rooted in honesty, reflection, and shared hope.

Join us at the Goshen Theater as Shannan Martin celebrates the release of her newest book, Counterweights: An Essential Practice for Holding Hope in a Heavy World, in conversation with bestselling author and podcaster Jen Hatmaker. Together, they’ll explore what it means to practice hope without denying grief, to stay grounded in the midst of uncertainty, and to find small, sustaining counterweights in everyday life. This thoughtful, honest conversation offers space to reflect, breathe, and reconnect—with ourselves and with one another.

SOLD OUT- Tickets are $30 and include one seat and a presigned copy of Counterweights.

Jen Hatmaker’s Awake: A Memoir is available as an optional add-on purchase for $30.

All books purchased in advance will be presigned.

Following the conversation, guests are warmly invited to continue the experience at Fables Books at 1:00 p.m. for an author meet-and-greet and book personalization. While all books are presigned, this is an opportunity to connect with the authors and have your copy personalized.
