in print, digital, and audio formats
Set in the Florida Territory wilderness in 1817, The Warehouse is a Christian historical novel that spans more than a century of faith, family, and divine mystery. Three pioneering families journey from Missouri to Florida, where they establish the community of Graceville and build a warehouse that becomes the heart of their settlement.
Generations later, in the 1950s, the warehouse takes on a mystical purpose as a place where gifts and blessings are stored under new management. The citizens of Graceton soon discover that the gifts they receive are exactly what their hearts have needed — even when they never thought to ask.
Inspired by an allegory heard in church as a teenager, author Joyce Crawford blends historical detail, spiritual insight, and treasured memories into a story about community, compassion, and the unexpected ways God provides. The Warehouse is an award‑winning novel, honored with the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award and named a finalist for the Feathered Quill Award.

Willie Flores Good Reads Reviewer 5 Stars
I've read many good novels. Once in a while, I come across something truly profound. The Warehouse falls into this category. One of these days, I expect an inspirational author to win the Pulitzer. The skillful writing sucks the reader in. The Warehouse is something that needs to be read and discussed on a wide-scale basis.
I was lost for words when I finished this beautifully written novel. And I'm still struggling to find the best words to describe the power of this story.
