FāVS News writers don’t just cover faith communities — they write about them, live in them, and reflect on them in books that deserve a place on your shelf.
This Local News Day, when you make a qualifying donation to FāVS News, you can choose a book written by one of our own reporters or columnists — as our thank-you for helping keep local religion journalism alive.
How it works
Donate at least $50 as a one-time or annual gift, or become a sustaining monthly supporter at $5 or more per month, and you’re eligible to choose one book from the list below. After you donate, we’ll email you to arrange the book giveaway.
This offer is available through April 9, Local News Day, or while supplies last.
