This book met me exactly where I was. I’ve known scripture for years, but this helped me finally believe it personally.
– Sheron Stone
A thoughtful and encouraging read. Some parts felt repetitive, but the message about identity in Christ really stayed with me.
– Martha Steward
Kari writes with the kind of honesty that feels safe. It’s gentle, practical, and deeply rooted in faith without feeling heavy.
– John Marcus
Good message and a sincere heart behind the writing. Kari’s compassion really comes through, and the focus on identity in Christ is encouraging. At times I wished the chapters felt more structured and less repetitive, as the ideas sometimes circled back without moving forward as clearly as I hoped. Still, there were meaningful insights that made me pause and reflect. It’s a helpful read for anyone wrestling with self-worth, faith, and feeling spiritually stuck.

My experience is two-fold, from bad to extremely good. Two United nitwits first published my book without consulting me. It was full of errors. It all changed when Jeffrey Collins, Author Success Manager, took charge of my account. He is a master of his trade, and United Book Publishing Company successfully republished my book. I have self-published eight other books with various companies, but United gets the gold.

I couldn’t be any happier with my publishing experience with United Book Publishing! From the moment I started working with them, I felt like my story truly mattered. Their attention to detail and commitment to perfection was evident in every step of the process, from refining my content to expertly publishing on multiple platforms. Aron and his team took the time to understand my vision, and the results were beyond my expectations. Choosing them was the best decision I could’ve made for my book!
If you’re looking for a publishing partner that’s professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend United Book Publishing. You won’t be disappointed!

First, United Book Publishing has the very best book cover design prices that I could find. 2nd, they are very caring and attentive. My first conversation was with Aron Parker, Chief Publishing Officer, who was lovely. Later, I was dealing with Sr. Consultant, Jordan Marshall, who was just as nice as he could be, listening to me, making suggestions, and faithfully reporting what I wanted to the artist.The end result was a seriously beautiful book cover that conveys the spirit of the book and the meaning of the contents. Great experience!

I'm an 80 year old, first time publisher, Investigating all the claims of book publishers, including self publishing led me to United Book Publishing.
When I mentioned that I was hosting my book through the Non-Profit foundation, Global Prefab Systems Foundation, they were quick to advise that there was an additional $100 discount for Non-Profit organizations.
That individual was Mike Amiri. What started out as a professional business relationship, has evolved into a personal friendship, that I now feel deeply connected to Mike.

I especially liked the UBP people I worked with. They have been helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and resilient. The book was very complex and challenging to edit and publish. Areas of suggested improvement are professional editing, communications (mutual understanding, timely, and consistent). I am well pleased with the completed project.
