You are invited to live freely and lightly.
I know all too well what it’s like to move through life anxiously, ever aware of what other’s think, and exhausted from the never-ending pressure to prove my worth. But I also know this is not the peace-filled, abundant life we are promised as followers of Jesus. As I discovered in my own life, God offers a much better way to live.

I can’t wait to show you inside the book!
