About Us:
Rooftop Publishing began not as a business venture, but as a gathering of four writers with a shared desire to bring our passions and personal ministries to life in book form.
Coming from diverse professional backgrounds, we had written everything from marketing materials and manuals to children’s books, curriculum, and personal journals.
Yet each of us felt a deeper calling—to write the book that lived in our hearts.
In 2018, we formed an accountability group to share ideas, resources, and encouragement. Within months, we were amazed at the progress each of us made through that collaboration. Eventually, we gave our group a name that captured our shared enthusiasm for sharing Christ-centered messages: From the Rooftops.
Not wanting to keep the synergy and excitement to ourselves, we decided to share our success story in a combined book Collective Brilliance: Spark Ideas, Build Faith, and See Your Ministry in a Whole New Light.
Through that experience,
—one that didn’t require an author’s large social media following or compromise their message. Traditional publishers often lacked the heart for our mission, and print-on-demand options couldn’t provide the guidance and quality we sought.
So, Rooftop Publishing was born—a place where inspired writing meets professional publishing. We built a like-minded team of editors, designers, printers, and binders who share our vision of producing books that build faith in Christ.
Since then, we’ve published our own works, led writer’s workshops, developed courses, and helped other first-time and experienced authors bring their inspired messages to life in the most beautiful and book-store-worthy ways.
Our mission is simple: to help you
All yours,

Christine Van Wagenen
Christine VanWagenen lives her life with uncommon exuberance. She has dedicated her life to serving women in her family, community, and throughout the world. She strives to utilize and share all her divine gifts. This helped her gracefully raise six children, own and operate a cooking school, serve with her husband on two missions in Asia, and bravely return to university studies after a 33-year hiatus to earn her Bachelor’s degree. Her anticipated book, “Possibilities; Press Forward with Purpose and Joy” strives to guide readers to discover new life and purpose through ministering in the Savior’s way.
Chaplain Gigi Turley, a God-loving Peruvian, is a passionate teacher and cheerleader of life. Her unique power of discernment offer insightful gems of wisdom that weave into every aspect of her professional and family life. Gigi is the author of “Soy de Naturaleza Divina” {I’m of Divine Nature), a children’s book and her soon to be released “The Mantle of the Matriarch.” Her empowering courses “Find the Peace Within” and “Spiritual Connection” help women unfold their purpose in life and find joy in womanhood.
Roxanne Thayne is practically famous for contagious enthusiasm for anything good. Her work as an educator, marketing/PR director, and disciple of Christ, promotes beautiful, faith-filled living. Her book “Jewels in Your Pocket: How to Comfortably Share Your Faith Through the Power of Personal Stories,” convinces even timid Christians they too can testify of God’s goodness. She loves sparkly things like jewelry, chandeliers, and conversation. She and her husband Tim live and work together 24/7 with their five children in Lehi, Utah.
People watcher, hopeful pianist, and author of “From the Embers,” Stephanie Francom juggles coaching, writing, and speaking with her adventure of choice: motherhood. She is an aspiring hiker, mother of seven and grandmother of the cutest Littles on the planet. The completion of her master’s degree with an emphasis on womanhood, her founding of a non-profit organization, Art of Womanhood, and her daily walk reveal her passion for the family. “From the Embers: Five Steps to Rise to Your Full Potential” illustrates her personal mission to inspire others to live on purpose and to empower them to share the truth in their hearts from the rooftops.”
