The books
Two books, one conviction
Written together by Nic LaLonde & Mark Gai. The first tells a story of resilience; the second goes down to the roots that make resilience possible. Together they carry one conviction: nobody is finished yet.
The Art of Encouragement
The Art of Encouragement is a story of resilience — about keeping going, rebuilding what life breaks, and lifting others along the way. It is written for anyone rebuilding after loss, failure, or a season they did not choose — and for the churches, recovery and reentry communities, and reading groups who stand beside them.

Deeply Planted
Deeply Planted is the companion volume to The Art of Encouragement — about the roots that make resilience possible. If the first book is the story of rebuilding, this is the story of what you rebuild on. Readers of the first book, small groups, and congregations pairing both books will find the deeper half of the conversation here.
