Book Signing with Annessa Meader
Oskaloosa, IAMarch 6, 2026
10:00 am · 4:00 pm
Annessa Meader, Author of "Rest For the Depths", will be visiting STEPPING STONES & EAGLE'S NEST CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORES at our 14 West Main Street Marshalltown location on Tuesday, March 3rd from 10 am-5:30 pm and at 117 S Market Street Oskaloosa on Friday, March 6th from 10 am - 4 pm
About the book: Only in the depths can we see God's grace come to life. It's time to move on, and it's time to start living. Step into the redeeming power of Jesus' love. As you take that first step, the lies that have become a prison holding you in will fall away, and the voices that shout your greatest insecurities will quiet. Even better, the lies that say you are all alone will perish at the first glimmer of the Person who will never leave you. Dive into the depths with me so that we can become unchained from our past, ready to step into our future.
Annessa was born in the heartland of Iowa, she is the eldest of five. With a heart for teaching and shaping young souls, Annessa has been teaching for the past decade and serving as a youth leader for the past four years. Fueled by love and a passion for the stage, she weaves tales through words while sipping coffee and deepening her relationship with Jesus.

Eagle's Nest Christian Bookstore
Book Signing w. Author Barbara
Oskaloosa, IAMarch 21, 2026
10:00 am · 4:00 pm
Come meet Author Barbara Heil of "Journey into His Heart"
Growing up without any kind of faith life, Barbara Heil had a life-transforming experience at sixteen years of age, when she encountered an outpouring of Jesus' love. As a result, she began to attend a Spirit-filled Protestant Church and later became a missionary, an evangelist, and eventually a pastor, bringing others to the Lord. Her fascinating journey from brokenness to healing took Barbara to more than fifty nations, where she shared the gospel and witnessed what only God can do as He moves in people’s lives.
Not believing that Catholics were even Christian, Barbara took a class to learn how to lead them to Christ. Many years later, someone handed her a book that sparked a hunger to learn about the saints and Doctors of the Church, who she learned, to her astonishment, were all Catholic with faith lives centered on the Eucharist!
Through Barbara’s personal encounter with Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist, you will learn what spoke to her heart most intensely and fanned the flame of His love in her life. You will also discover:
The shocking secret Barbara never knew about herself and was amazed to find out
- How the “Man in the Sky” tenderly awaits and comforts you, especially in your darkest hour
- The healing graces God longs to unleash upon you when you open your heart to Him
- The intimate gift of God’s ever-present love that can be found only in the Catholic Church
- How obedience to our Heavenly Father’s will brings true freedom and blessings
This story of a soul wrestling with what she thought she knew about the Catholic Church, only to learn what the Church actually teaches, and then taking the steps needed to enter the Church’s embrace is exhilarating and not to be missed.
