Book signing with Ashley Buchanan
Oskaloosa, IAOctober 4, 2025
10:00 am · 4:00 pm
Ashley Buchanan, Author of "90 Reflections From God, From Iowa, From Me" will be visiting Eagle's Nest Christian Bookstore in Oskaloosa on SATURDAY, OCT. 4TH FROM 10AM-4PM.
Life is hard. Life is messy. In today's fast paced world it can be so tough to slow down and appreciate the journey along the way. The goal of this devotional is to be an encouragement for those who may be struggling not only to keep your chin up but also to make Christianity simpler. Whether you are a new Christian or have been a Christian for years we can all relate to similar experiences and struggles. The good news is God and the Bible are not a thing of the past. The truths found in the Bible are still relevant and applicable to today. God is not as distant as you may think. Hopefully after reading this devotional you will cultivate a stronger, deeper relationship with God. In addition, hopefully you will be inspired to discover more about yourself, chase your dreams and goals, learn to love yourself more and claim victory in your life. Ashley Buchanan enjoys a simple life in a small town in Iowa with her four dogs. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, writing, spending time with family and friends, or activities outdoors. Ashley's biggest passion is the subject of goal setting and chasing down dreams. She aspires to help others do the same so they can learn to enjoy the life they are given. Ashley believes God is present and accessible to those who seek Him. She wants to help others be bold enough to take the necessary steps to approach Him and claim the victory you desire.
Ashley is now engaged and lives in Atlantic, Iowa with her fiancé and stepson. They have two dogs and two cats. She likes to tend to their garden, read, write, spend time with family and friends in her spare time.

Oskaloosa, IAOctober 6, 2025
10:00 am · 5:00 pm
Mon. 10/6 10am-5:00pm in Oskaloosa
Jamie Hulker is an international author, speaker, and teacher, and serves as the director of the ministry Here for You. She holds an MA from Moody Theological Seminary and brings extensive experience in ministry both locally and globally. With a deep love for Scripture and rich, hands-on ministry experience, Jamie is passionate about equipping others to engage in biblically grounded conversations that glorify God and encouraging them to live out their faith in meaningful and impactful ways.
Jamie is active in her local church and enjoys serving in a variety of roles. In her free time, you'll find her hiking, traveling, paddleboarding, or sipping good coffee with friends. Jamie and her husband, Bryan, have been married for 32 years and have two sons, wonderful daughters-in-law, and amazing grandkids.
Esteemed is an eight-week, video-driven Bible study that thoughtfully examines how Scripture reveals God’s deep love and high regard for women through the lives of 28 women entrusted with pivotal roles in His unfolding redemptive narrative. From Genesis to the early Church, the biblical witness affirms that women were created to be integral to God’s mission and remain esteemed participants in His sovereign purpose. Esteemed invites readers to engage anew with these familiar yet profound stories, embrace God’s unwavering esteem for women, and live with boldness grounded in that truth.
