For the first time ever, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons is here in Orlando for her book signing tour!
Ruth Chou Simons is a Wall Street Journal bestselling and award-winning author of several books and Bible studies, including GraceLaced, Beholding and Becoming, When Strivings Cease, and Now and Not Yet. She is an artist, podcaster, speaker, and the founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer of GraceLaced, an art and lifestyle brand. Simons uses each of these platforms to spiritually sow the Word of God into people’s hearts, making deep truths beautifully accessible with her signature art and relatable communication style. Simons has been featured on Good Morning America, Fox, Christianity Today, and Hallmark Home and Family. Ruth and her husband, Troy, live in Western Colorado and are grateful parents to six boys—their greatest adventure.
In her newest book, The Way of the Wildflower, you are invited to live like the flowers of the field through thirty gospel meditations covering five ways of the wildflower: Dependency, Freedom, Resilience, Unhurriedness, and Belovedness.
“This book is born out of my own battle with anxious thoughts and fears,” writes Simons. “In every new season, especially the ones when I’ve wrestled with worry, I’ve had to train myself to stop and remember the gospel—the redeeming work of Christ that changed everything. As I’ve sat down to write and think through all the ways I struggle to live in the way of the wildflowers, I’ve kept coming back to the same refrain—because Jesus . . .Because Jesus. It’s our only hope in the hard reality of this world. And when we take Jesus’ words to heart and consider how the wildflower grows, because Jesus becomes the refrain of our days.”
This gorgeous, full-color devotional features Simons’ signature art and stunning hand-painted botanicals, alongside:
- Bible verses to meditate on
- Practical applications of God’s Word
- Key truths to preach to yourself when you feel burdened
- Prayers to help you practice the way of the wildflower
- Wildflower facts and the lessons we can learn from them
If you’re wrestling with your past, struggling in your present, or fearful for your future, pause and be still. Consider how the wildflowers grow, remember that the God who cares for them cares for you, too, and let your anxious soul find rest in Him.
