Strong, Brave, and Beautiful

From the discomforts of pregnancy to the adventures of parenting toddlers, tweens, and teens, every mom knows (or quickly learns): Motherhood is humbling. Between constant messes, surprises, and the multi-faceted needs of our children, mamas are constantly on their toes-rising to meet challenges that call at all hours of the day and night. 

Raising kids is an honor and a joy, but it is also more demanding than most of us anticipated prior to the arrival of our little ones. We are often spread thin and stretched to our limits. Motherhood can be fertile ground for discouragement. Mercifully, it can also be a mirror to reflect back to us how strong, brave, and beautiful we are.  

Strong, Brave & Beautiful: Stories of Hope for Moms in the Weeds is a collection of essays packed with honest and grace-filled stories and practical, heartfelt encouragement for the beautiful, messy years of raising children. 

Readers will...

• better understand and recognize God's presence and work in the mundane
• find beauty in otherwise unglamorous motherhood moments
• begin to recognize their own strength and courage

Strong, Brave, and Beautiful is the perfect gift for the moms in your life who need encouragement, nourishment, and hope.
