Description
Unexpected endings don’t cancel out God’s faithfulness.
Are you in a midlife season of unwanted change that has shifted your life in unexpected ways? Maybe this season has you questioning your identity, your purpose, or whether God’s promises for your life still stand. Brave Change invites women in midlife to embrace life’s shifts with courage rooted in trust in God.
Unexpected change can cause your life to feel upended into a chapter you never wanted to write—whether it’s divorce, death, family troubles, broken relationships, hope deferred, a health or financial crisis, the unraveling of a dream, or a transition you never saw coming. In this book, Krista Pettiford draws from Naomi’s story in the book of Ruth and her own personal journey to offer biblical wisdom, hope, and practical guidance for navigating unexpected seasons.
What you’ll discover with Brave Change:
- How Naomi’s powerful story helps you release the past, trust God’s hand, and allow him to finish writing your story
- How life transitions are spiritually meaningful seasons that invite you to trust God more deeply
- How God is continually working behind the scenes to restore your joy, heal your brokenness, and give you renewed purpose
This encouraging resource speaks to women navigating life-altering transitions—especially singleness—with emotional honesty, theological depth, and practical application. If your life did not unfold as you planned, Brave Change will remind you that God remains faithful in every season.
Let this book encourage you that your story is not over. You can embrace midlife as a season of renewed purpose, clarity, and healing. In fact, this season could be the beginning of something new and beautiful.
Advance Praise
"Brave Change is a deeply honest, hope-filled invitation for women navigating life-altering transitions to rediscover God's faithfulness in every season. Through biblical wisdom, personal vulnerability, and practical encouragement, Krista Pettiford gently walks readers through the grief, uncertainty, identity shifts, and unexpected changes that often accompany midlife, divorce, disappointment, loss, and new beginnings. What I appreciate most about this book is that it does not offer shallow encouragement or quick fixes. Instead, Krista reminds women that God is present in every chapter of their story, even the painful and uncertain ones. With compassion and spiritual insight, she helps women process change, renew their hope, reclaim their identity, and move forward with faith, courage, and grace. Women who feel stuck between what was and what could be will find comfort, clarity, and practical direction within these pages. Brave Change is a timely reminder that unexpected endings do not cancel God's goodness, purpose, or plans for our lives."
