What if the good news
is even better than
we’ve been told?

Writing about grace, union, healing,

and what it means to live from the finished work of Christ.

CURRENTLY WRITING

One by One

A new book in the works—about ten lives interrupted by the kindness of Jesus, and the mercy that crossed every boundary to meet each person exactly where they were.

What I Keep Coming
Back to

The goodness of God, the wonder of grace, and the love that keeps turning out to be bigger than I thought.

THE JOURNAL

Fields of Memory

I love putting The Journal together—gathering voices of grace into each beautiful issue. The September digital issue, Fields of Memory, is live and free to read online, and print copies are now available on Amazon.

Return to the Shack

The Shack was one of the first books that helped me see the goodness of God—and the scandal of grace—in a whole new way. I’m so excited for William Paul Young’s new book, Return to the Shack, coming this October and available now for preorder.

Things I Care About

BOOKS

Books have always been one of the ways I make sense of the world. I’m writing them, publishing them, reading them, and almost always handing one to somebody saying, “You need to read this.” Come see what I’m writing, what I’m reading, and the books I can’t stop recommending.

GRACE & THEOLOGY

I still haven’t gotten over the goodness of God. The more I see of Jesus, the bigger His love becomes—and the more questions I have about some of the things we were taught to settle for. What if we've barely scratched the surface of how good He really is?

WRITING & PUBLISHING

I never planned to become a publisher. I just kept saying yes to good books, and somewhere along the way TWS became a publishing house. Turns out, I love the work almost as much as I love writing.

WOMEN

The Well is one of the things I’m most excited to be building—a place for women to tell the truth, share their stories, and feel less alone in the in-between places.

VOICES OF GRACE

Some of the richest parts of my life have come from the people I’ve met along the way. I want to keep introducing you to some of them—and to the ideas, work, and lives that have enlarged my own.

About Robin

Robin Smit is an author, theologian, and publisher whose work has grown out of a lifelong fascination with grace and the finished work of Christ.

She writes about grace, union, healing, identity, and the places where theology becomes personal — where what we believe about God begins to change the way we understand ourselves and one another.

Her books include It Is Finished, Awakened, I AM Healed, Behold the Lamb, and The Very Good News. She is the founder of TWS Publishing, publisher of The Journal, and part of the teams behind The Well, The Bookstore, and Grace Awakening Network TV.

Whether she is writing her own books, publishing the work of others, or making room for new voices and conversations, the same thread runs through it all:  a gospel far more scandalous than we’ve often dared to believe—one that includes all, heals all, and leaves no one beyond the reach of Love.
