Be in Your
Happy Place.
Read in an hour — be equipped for life.
Books on prayer, biblical stories in verse, and the life of the spirit. Books that aren't just read — they're used. A selah, a holy pause, on every page.
Short on time.
Long on heart.
These aren't books you finish and set aside. They're tools — for your prayer life, your spiritual formation, your walk with Jesus. Small enough to read on a lunch break. Rich enough to return to for years.
God clothes the lilies of the field. Aesthetics matter to him. So every Makarios Press book is designed with open space, careful typography, and a beauty that itself becomes part of the experience. A selah — a holy pause — on every page.
"Being rocked by almost every little chapter I read. It's a direct hit — with immediate alignment."
— Dr. Bill BennotRead in an Hour
Designed for real people with real lives. Every title is short by intention — because a book you actually read changes you. A book you don't finish doesn't.
Equipped for Life
Not just inspiring — actionable. Makarios books put tools in your hands. Prayers you can pray. Practices you can start. Scripture you can stand on.
Beautiful by Design
A selah on every page. Clean, open, elegant — books that feel good in the hand, look peaceful on the page, and have been prayed over from conception to printing.

Reader favorites.
"I carry my copy in my purse. I pull it out whenever I feel prompted, and read the introduction to whomever I'm talking to. The beginning pages never fail to take the conversation to a deeper level."
Books that land
like a direct hit.
Over and over, readers tell us: they read a page, set the book down, and sit with it. Because it went somewhere. Because something shifted. That's the invitation — to be stopped, in the best possible way.
See All Reviews"Earth-shattering for me in the best ways. I learned much about prayer I hadn't realized. I feel I have new eyes as I read the Word."
Amazon Review — Prayer Refresh"I wanted it to go on longer, so I started over at the beginning and did it all again. Thought provoking, fresh, and the amount of detail was amazing."
Juliet Thomas — The Freed Man"The Pursue book has been so beautiful. It has been such a blessing — golden nuggets of encouragement daily, and it only takes moments to read."
Amanda Kowal — Pursue"Don't even think twice about it. Order Good Spiritual Hygiene for yourself and then order another for a friend. This is the gift of knowing how to wield the weapons God has given us."
Denise Keeter — Good Spiritual Hygiene"Such a fresh, fascinating, and raw look at Esther. So much more than 'for such a time as this.' I haven't been able to put it down."
Jonelle Lilly — Righting of Wrongs"Every Sunday I wax poetic from your inspiration. Prolific Amy — keep rocking the world!"
