Preorder on Amazon

Small Steps is a collection of blessings, poetry, and essays that meet the reader in their everyday life: the nitty gritty, down-in-the-dirt, dishes-piled-in-the-sink, carpool-waiting, caring-for-family-and-friends-life. These blessings invite readers to see the world before them with hope. These blessings relate to the reader as pilgrims in this life — those who put one foot in front of the other, pay attention, and savor the ordinary miracles before them. Small Steps take the lens of pilgrimage witnessing our everyday lives as pilgrimages. Blessings aren’t meant to be kept to ourselves, and in reading this collection the reader is invited to see their whole life with the reminder that God is always with them, wherever they go.

The Beauty of Motherhood is a collection of moving devotions for moms inspired by our children’s milestones and development.

The early years of motherhood are filled with moments of wonder and joy alongside day-to-day challenges. You want to connect with God, but you’re exhausted. You’re questioning if you’re doing enough for your kids and wondering if you’ll ever have time for yourself again.

With scripture, stories, prayers, and practices, The Beauty of Motherhood provides refreshment, encouragement, and the reminder that you are not alone as you mother. Join authors and moms Kimberly Knowle-Zeller and Erin Strybis as they explore growing pains, pregnancy, birth, body image, delight, loss, comparison, vocation, friendship, and more. Their honest, heartfelt reflections bear witness to the ways God's grace breaks through in our motherhood journeys.

Perfect to read in a moment of quiet, these short, engaging devotions invite tears, smiles, comfort, and hope.

Whether you’re new to motherhood or a veteran mom, Erin’s and Kim's stories will help you slow down and see the beauty in raising young children. You’ll walk away from this devotional feeling seen in your motherhood experiences, supported in faith, and empowered to share your story with other mothers.

A wonderful gift for baby showers, baptisms, birthdays, and Mother’s Day, The Beauty of Motherhood is a warm embrace for mothers everywhere.

 Imagine, God whispers in your ear, this is your life.

Do you see it? Do you feel it?

Take a look around, and see the beauty of motherhood.
