Terms of Service

Last updated November 4, 2026

Agreement to These Terms

By visiting rootedingodword.com or purchasing any devotional or resource from Rooted in God's Word Ministry, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms apply to every visitor, reader, and buyer.

The Ministry and Its Content

Rooted in God's Word Ministry publishes Scripture-based Christian devotionals written by Charle M. Faith. Our materials are offered for personal encouragement, study, and reflection. They are not a substitute for pastoral counsel, medical advice, mental health care, legal advice, or the teaching of your local church. If you are in crisis or need professional help, please reach out to a qualified professional or your pastor.

Scripture and Doctrine

Every devotional is anchored in Scripture alone, without denominational bias or added tradition. Bible quotations are drawn from the public domain King James Version unless noted otherwise. Reflections and prayers are the author's own writing and are offered for your consideration, to be tested against the Word of God.

Purchases

Devotional purchases are completed through Gumroad, our retail partner. Prices, delivery, and refund handling are shown at checkout and follow Gumroad's terms in addition to these terms. Because devotionals are delivered digitally, all sales are final once the files are accessed, except where a refund is required by law or where a file is defective. If something goes wrong with your order, contact us and we will help.

Church and Group Licenses

A church or group license permits one congregation, ministry, or study group to read and discuss a licensed devotional together, including printing copies for its own members. A license does not permit resale, redistribution outside that group, republication, or use in another congregation. A free Leader's Guide is included with each license for the use of that group's facilitators.

Donations

Donations are voluntary gifts that support the writing and distribution of these devotionals. Donations are not payment for goods or services and are generally non-refundable. If you believe a donation was made in error, contact us promptly and we will review it with you.

Permitted Use and Intellectual Property

All devotionals, reflections, prayers, artwork, and site content are the property of Charle M. Faith and Rooted in God's Word Ministry and are protected by copyright. You may read, print, and share brief quotations with attribution for personal, family, or small-group encouragement. You may not copy, resell, republish, or distribute our materials in whole or in substantial part, or present them as your own, without written permission.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use this site to break the law, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of it, to interfere with its operation, to scrape or bulk-download content, or to submit false information through our forms. We may decline service or access to anyone who misuses the site.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our site links to and relies on outside services, including Gumroad for purchases, Stripe for donations, and Mailchimp for email. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of those services, and their own terms and policies apply when you use them.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The site and its content are provided on an as-is and as-available basis. We work carefully on everything we publish, but we do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that every reading will meet your particular expectations.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rooted in God's Word Ministry and Charle M. Faith are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or its content. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the material in question.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page with its date. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.

Contact

If you have a question about these terms, a purchase, a license, or a donation, please reach us through our Contact page. We will be glad to help.
