In this National Bestseller, Mary Katherine Backstrom shares heartbreaking and hilarious stories of how God uses each "mess" in our lives to bring us closer to Him. She shows us that it's okay to celebrate exactly where we are right now—holy, hot mess and all.

A lot of people struggle with the concept of being holy. But the fact is, even the hottest of messes are being shaped—right now—into Jesus' likeness. In this book, Mary Katherine shares the sometimes-hidden evidence of God's work in her life and shows you that it's okay to embrace the hot messes.

Mary Katherine will share both hilarious and vulnerable stories about faith, friendships, motherhood, marriage, and depression. She will cover the topics that plague our hearts every day with raw, honest truth and a side of laughter. Mary Katherine invites you into her story as a friend, encouraging you to embrace the hot messes in your life. Because we are all a work in progress, and as long as we are alive, we are under construction—and construction sites tend to be messy.

As someone who struggles in much of the same ways with mental health as Mary Katherine, and who loves Jesus just as wholeheartedly, I found her cheerful and playful recounting of the messy messes in her life refreshing!

She is a vivid storyteller with a gift for pulling little details that could be considered insignificant and making those little pieces the pivotal life lesson! She sees the world in word pictures and doesn’t miss the heartbeat of Jesus as the thread holding it all and her together.

Mary Katherine, thank you for sharing your heart, your struggles and your story so beautifully with the world. Your story is changing lives and hearts and giving courage and insight into how to struggle “wiser.”

God bless you and your ministry!

Love Mary Katherine’s heart!
