After years of praying, thinking, fearing, trusting, and writing, the time has finally arrived for me to tell you about my book!
Come to Jesus was written because of a lesson God began to teach me during the weeks after my second miscarriage. The question he burned in my soul is the same one I ask you today:
What if God brings hard things into your life so you’ll bring them back to him?
Maybe God fills our days with lots of reminders to come running back to him for help—not so we’ll spend our days full of frustration and tears, but so we’ll end our days closer and closer to him. This is the heartbeat for my book, Come to Jesus.
A collection of ways God has brought me closer to him through times of unbelief, loneliness, and uncertainty plus a call to bring your hard back to the One who gave it to you.
Because maybe that was his purpose in giving it to you all along…not to see how much you can carry but to know he carries you.
This is the life-changing lesson God has taught me over the past few years and I cannot wait to get this book into your hands so God can work it into your heart.
“We need constant reminders that, in everything, we can go to Jesus.
I’m grateful for Christa’s helpful and beautiful call to do just that through the pages of this book.”— Christine Hoover, author of Searching for Spring and Messy Beautiful Friendship
Releases February 2019
“This is the best kind of book: it accurately speaks God’s truth, it illustrates how His truth has affected someone’s life, and it gives us practical steps to apply truth to our own lives.
By candidly telling us how she has learned to run to Jesus, Christa has opened her heart to us in a way that every woman can relate to. In different places and different circumstances, we’ve all been where she is, wanting to walk in a God-pleasing way but stumbling over obstacles along the way. We need to help each other. Christa has allowed us to learn from her life by sharing her story of failures that have led to learning that has led to victory.
This small book has rooted itself in my heart, and since reading it, I’ve stopped in my wrong-way track more than once to remind myself to “run to Jesus” with my fears, doubts, sorrows, and temptations. I’m grateful for how it is helping me. Like all good books, it’s simple but profound, memorable, and full of truth.”
— Claudia Barba, author of Sovereign Hope, When Christ Was Here, and The Monday Morning Club
