See yourself with fresh new eyes. Start where you are and become the person you were meant to be!
Showcasing the confidence she's gathered from her own life journey, Kim Gravel—beloved QVC star and creator of Belle by Kim Gravel and Belle Beauty—invites you to discover the person you were created to be. Collecting Confidence, reminds you that you are not your current circumstance. You are not your current habits. Where you are right now is simply your starting place to become who you're meant to be.
If you've lost your way and forgotten who you are, this book will:
- Equip you to glean empowerment from life's lowest moments
- Inspire you with no-holds-barred stories from Graceland to Piggly Wiggly
- Help you understand the importance of how you see yourself
- Change your perspective to realize mistakes can be stepping stones
Blending down-home wisdom with laugh-out-loud humor Kim will guide you through a journey of rediscovering yourself. Now is the time to be still, listen to God, and start collecting confidence one step, one lesson, one experience, and even one mistake at a time. As Kim says, “You can't be authentic in the world if you can't be real with yourself.” Collecting Confidence is a sumptuous collection of life experiences, hard-earned wisdom, and unexpected blessings.

In our forties, fifties, and beyond, we're wrestling with new questions. Is this it? Did I do what I wanted to do in my life? Who am I now that my kids have moved out? Will my sagging skin eventually hang all the way down to my feet? We feel a little like the world has nudged us aside for the younger crowd. But God still has much in store for us. God doesn't bring us to the middle of our lives so we can park in front of the TV and binge-watch home makeover shows. We are his gift to this world at every age and in every season, and it's time to embrace it like never before.

There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, especially when unexpected change happens and all we want is for things to go back to how they were. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. And looking back doesn't enable us to go back. It just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.

Some seasons of life can seem inordinately more difficult than one human should ever have to endure. For Brandi Wilson, this was the year when her husband of more than twenty years—and a megachurch pastor—walked away from her and her family, her church community dissolved, and her dreams and identity were shattered. Yet God transformed this heartbreaking, overwhelming year into an invaluable lesson on the gift of healing. Here Brandi vulnerably and beautifully tells her story of confronting grief and heartache head-on and learning how to grow from the pain.

Nothing Is Missing is a “sparkling and impassioned story” (Glamour) of what it takes to show up for yourself—and the joy that can come once you do. Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned that she needed to take charge of her own safety and security. So she did: She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to pay for college, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, she quit her job to launch her own business, and she struggled.

In Experiencing Friendship with God, speaker and pastor Faith Eury Cho draws on ancient wisdom about intimacy with God to help us cultivate a relationship with Him, even among all the complications of today’s world.

A Confidence Booster!!!!!
I want to first say that I came to know about Kim Gravel through the “Great American PureFlix Channel” where she was interviewed by Debbie Matenopoulos. In this interview, Kim talked about becoming the person you were meant to be and it was also where she promoted her new book “Finding Confidence.” This interview was very informative, warm, and genuine which touched my heart and stirred up such confidence in me that I wanted to immediately read her book.
What was even better was that I was able to listen to it on Audible and it did not disappoint! Kim read with such enthusiasm and passion so that the audience could gain their own confidence and see themselves as God sees them 😊 and I am so thankful and grateful that through Kim’s book, God did that for me!
So thank you Kim for sharing your personal experiences to write such an inspiring book and for helping me boost my confidence!

Kim, I love you and your book. I also love watching you on QVC, you are my favorite for sure! I love all of your one liners and the way they come out of your mouth with your southern drawl. But Girl, recheck your facts about Graceland, it was not built in 1972. 😘

Amazing book!
The book reminded me of many things I needed to hear again, as a mom and wife it’s easy to get lost in daily life. It was a reminder of everyone is made for more. Life can definitely knock it out of ya. Everyone has their own kind of mess. Kim brings her life stories to the book and shows how when life hits ya, you gotta get back up and make it better than before.

I gave this book a chance after seeing Kim promoting it on TV. She made me feel like it was just us two sitting on my couch having a conversation about life. in my head she's my new best friend. Her advice was very realistic, honest, and sprinkled with faith-based wisdom. I didn't feel like she was forcing "just be great," down your throat. This was a good motivational book with the theme of being the best version of yourself.
