FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Small Town Sunday Releases First Devotional Book, The Days YOU Can Believe, on July 26
BESSEMER CITY, N.C. — July 26, 2026 — Award-winning Faith Country band Small Town Sunday is excited to announce the release of its first devotional book, The Days YOU Can Believe: Hope, Grace & Truth for the Hard Days, available beginning Sunday, July 26, 2026, on Amazon.com and through www.smalltownsunday.com.
More than a devotional, The Days YOU Can Believe is a journey through real-life pain, honest questions, and unwavering hope. Written by Matthew Branch, Holly Branch, and Stephen Robertson, the 26-day devotional was inspired by some of the most difficult seasons their families have endured, including the loss of loved ones and the lessons they learned about trusting God when life didn't make sense.
Each day's reading combines Scripture, personal reflections, and practical encouragement to remind readers that God's grace is still enough—even on the days when faith feels small.
"We didn't write this book because we have all the answers," said Matthew Branch. "We wrote it because we've experienced God's faithfulness in the middle of heartbreak. Our prayer is that these pages remind people they're not alone and that God is still working, even when they can't see it."
The devotional's structure carries a meaningful significance. It contains 26 devotions and releases on July 26, 2026 (7-26-26). After completing the manuscript, the authors discovered that in Hebrew tradition, the numerical value of God's covenant name (YHWH) is 26—an unplanned detail that became a powerful reminder of God's presence throughout the project.
Known for their unique blend of country music and an unmistakable message of faith, Small Town Sunday has been described as being "too country for Christian and too Christian for country." The band was recently honored as the 2026 Christian Voice Magazine Band of the Year and continues to share hope through concerts, music, and now through the written word.
The Days YOU Can Believe is available in paperback and Amazon Kindle editions through Amazon, as well as directly from the Small Town Sunday online store at /store
