Courtney Stanford: Let Every Heart

06/22/2026

I’ve added a new section at Let Every Heart for the summer! “Mrs. Stanford’s Summer Reading Recommendations” originated from students and their parents who want to know the best children’s literature. This summer, I’m sharing the best of the best in the “Mrs. Stanford Recommends” summer reading table. I’ll be rotating books in this section frequently but will only share the most tried and true! Here’s a little sneak peek at my all-time favorites! And yes, I have read Because of Winn Dixie 19-20 times. At this point, I almost have it memorized and every character has a voice. I always tell my students that I hope I’ll be called upon for the next audio recording of Winn Dixie because I feel confident that I know the characters the best of all the readers. 😉 I hope you and your children will find favorites to share together this summer. Please, please, please keep your children reading for their benefit. When August arrives, you’ll be so glad you did! Happy summer reading from my heart to yours! ☀️

Friends, this is a soft start for something new. Our second oldest child is at that age where he wants a summer job, but only has a driver’s permit. His new summer job? Well, he proposed a business plan I couldn’t refuse. He has begun working for me as the manager of Let Every Heart online or as our fifteen year old child calls it, “E-Commerce.” Stop by our new page and see what a wonderful job he has done bringing my shop to life online!

Eighteen years ago, two college kids promised to love each other forever and loving each other has been the norm easiest part of their eighteen years together. Happy 18th anniversary, Bret. I praise God for preparing our hearts for one another. You’re the best gift from God!

Father’s Day is almost here! Let Every Heart has cards for dad, grandpa, and even the perfect card for honorary dads! Gift dad a book for the slower summer days ahead, perfect to read while waiting on the fish to bite or while grilling. Check out this reel for a few of my favorite book recommendations for the guys in your life! My husband’s personal favorite in this list is Love Does by Bob Goff.
