More than a gift for one person

You know their faith.
Do you know the stories behind it?

The prayer that carried them through. The provision they never expected. The moment they knew God was near. Those stories can encourage your family long after the moment has passed.

Giving GodStory says their stories matter. It gives them a place to remember and your family a way to keep what they share.

How giving GodStory works

A gift that begins with their voice.

01

You give the experience

Enter your billing details and your loved one’s name and email under the invitation information. Choose when their invitation email arrives, within 45 days of purchase.

02

They tell one story a week

For eight weeks, thoughtful Story Sparks help them remember. They spend 10–20 minutes answering by voice on their phone or computer. No writing required.

03

We turn their words into chapters

GodStory turns their recordings into polished written chapters. They review, edit, and approve the wording, including the optional "Letter to My Family" and "Generational Blessing" chapters.

04

Their stories become an heirloom

After they approve their book and submit it for printing, allow about 3–4 weeks for printing and delivery. Each book is custom-made by a specialty printer in Great Britain and shipped to your family in the United States.

Made to be easy

They have the stories.
We help them get started.

They don’t need to know how to write a book or where to begin. A thoughtful question gives them a starting point. Their voice does the rest.

Just talk

Record on a phone or computer. No writing, typing, or app download required.

One story at a time

Aim for one story a week for eight weeks, or move faster with one a day. They have 12 months from activation to complete their project.

Help is welcome

Sit together, encourage them, and help them navigate the experience.

Their story, their say

They review, edit, and approve their chapters before the book goes to print.

Eight weeks, eight days, or a little longer: the goal is to preserve their stories, not wait until every word feels perfect.

Annie’s GodStory

“At 97, I never thought I would get these stories of what God has done in my life written down. With a little help from my daughter, I've now got my own book that'll one day tell my great-grandchildren how good God really is.”

Before you give

A few questions about gifting.

Who can I give GodStory to?

A parent, grandparent, spouse, mentor, pastor, or someone else whose stories of God's faithfulness you want to preserve. Purchasers and storytellers must be adults in the United States.

What is included in a GodStory gift?

The $297 GodStory experience includes guided Story Sparks, voice recordings turned into written chapters, review and approval before printing, and one hardcover book with U.S. shipping included. Additional hardcover copies are $59 each, and a PDF edition is $25. Both can be purchased at any time. Applicable taxes are shown at checkout.

Whose details do I enter when buying a gift?

Enter your own name and details for billing. Under the invitation information, enter the storyteller’s name and email so their invitation reaches the right person.

What do they receive when I give the gift?

They receive an invitation email explaining their GodStory gift and how to begin. You are giving the experience of creating their GodStory; the finished hardcover comes after they tell their stories and approve their book. Until they accept, we send a follow-up email every three days for up to 30 days after the invitation is sent. Reminders stop if they accept, decline, or ask us not to contact them.

Can I choose when they receive it?

Yes. Choose an invitation delivery date within 45 days of purchase. The invitation is emailed on your chosen date. Please note that the 30-day money-back guarantee begins on the purchase date, not the invitation date. Choosing a later invitation does not extend the refund window.

Will it be easy for someone who isn't comfortable with technology?

They open a private GodStory link on their phone or desktop and sign in with one click. No password to remember and no app to download. Then they answer a question by voice. A family member can help them navigate the experience.

Can I help my loved one along the way?

Yes. You can encourage them, sit with them while they remember, and help them navigate the experience. Their own memories and experiences remain at the center of the book, and they review and approve their chapters before printing.

What if they need more than eight weeks?

Eight weeks is a suggested pace, not a deadline. We encourage one story a week for eight weeks, or one a day for eight days if they prefer to move faster. The goal is to finish a meaningful book, not wait for perfection. Their included active project period lasts 12 months from the date they first activate their GodStory. There is no automatic renewal. After that period, active assistance may pause; any extension or reactivation is subject to the terms and pricing available then.

Can we get copies for the rest of the family?

Yes. Additional hardcover copies are $59 each, and a PDF edition is $25. Both can be purchased at any time. During the initial launch, the storyteller places orders for extra printed copies and chooses where they are sent. Printing uses the approved book files.

How long does printing and delivery take?

Allow about 3–4 weeks after the approved book is submitted for printing. Each book is custom-made by a specialty printer in Great Britain. This is an estimate, and production or shipping delays may occasionally extend the timeline.

Where can the book be shipped?

GodStory currently serves customers in the United States only. One hardcover book and U.S. shipping are included with the gift experience. The storyteller provides the shipping address and can have the book sent to themselves or another recipient in the United States.

What if they don’t accept the invitation?

If the invitation has not been accepted within 30 days after it is sent, you will have the opportunity to transfer the unused GodStory experience to someone else once. Contact support@godstory.co to arrange the transfer within 12 months of your original purchase. An experience is unused if no story recording or written response has been submitted and no book has entered production. The replacement storyteller receives a fresh invitation. A transfer does not restart the refund window.

What is the refund policy for gifts?

The original buyer may request a full refund within 30 days of the original purchase, provided no book has entered printing. Email support@godstory.co to request it. Scheduling the invitation for a later date or transferring the gift does not restart or extend this period. After 30 days, the standard money-back guarantee has ended. Damaged, defective, or lost books are handled separately under our Terms of Service.
