Stories of Faith, Laughter, and the Beauty of Everyday Wonder

Stroll with Deborah Louise Off along the beach with its crashing waves and gusty winds, and you will experience the solace she loves. Deborah paints scenes of family life that are so vivid and vulnerable you'll feel like you're there with her. Walk in her shoes as she grows from a young wife to the mother of five rambunctious children to a confident woman of faith. Her stories take us on a wild and tender roller-coaster, from hilarity to grief.

Deborah speaks to the Lord like He's sitting across the kitchen table from her. In difficult times, she often says, "I can't do this, Lord," but her doubts always resolve into "Lord, I know you are with me." She writes candidly of her life, family, and her journey of faith.

These stories celebrate the twists and turns of Deborah's life. They will inspire you to wrap your arms around your family, laugh more, and trust that God answers prayers. However, the best part of Deborah's stories is the sense of wonder they create---and that she leaves up to the reader to find.
