I am delighted to announce the publication of my first nonfiction book!
Monastic Motherhood: Ancient Wisdom for New Moms will be dropping on December 15, 2026!
I have poured my heart, soul, tears, and laughter into this little book, and I have been blown away by some of the early feedback I've received. For example, here's an excerpt of what one reader (a man in his sixties--so not the book's target audience at all!) sent me:
"You have managed to grab my attention, and I’m not a young mom... your book has got me looking for insights into how I can improve my prayer life."
I wrote this book specifically for first-time moms (really, I wrote it to my past self). However, as I hear from all of the people who've been moved by this book, I am profoundly touched. God's plan goes far beyond my own!
Are you struggling to remain sane as the laundry piles up and the baby screams?
