Spirit Water Publications!

Spirit Water Publications is a non-profit publishing company dedicated to sending out the written word, photography, and artistic creations inspired by God-given life so others may be more alive to that life that is filled with freedom and to know better the character of the God who gives it.  Started in 2002 by artist and author, Sarah Katreen Hoggatt, the company has been overjoyed to touch the lives and inspire the people along life's journey whom Sarah has come in contact with.

With a fourth book in the writing stages and a new photography line released, as well as the continued production of the matted poetry line, the company is excited for this new growth and is looking forward to seeing where this will take us in the future.   We hope you will take a look at the books, see the faces behind them, and please sign the guest book!
