What Will Be the Stones in Your River of Life?
- Are you living life without a compass, being swept along without direction and purpose?
- Are you on the solitary journey through grief and loss?
- Are you an overwhelmed mother wanting to make the most of the years you have with your children?
- Are you longing for love and wondering if God cares for you anymore?
- Are you longing for a fresh calling?
When you lack clarity about your life direction as a woman, it’s easy to feel isolated and alone, as if something is wrong with you. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Throughout the more than 350 beautifully designed pages, Jo shows you what a life fully lived looks like. She shares the good and bad, the joys and pains. She guides each reader to more fully appreciate God’s unfailing love and faithfulness.
From the exquisite photography, to the aesthetic beauty and intentional placement of each word on every page, to the heartfelt passion and raw sharing of her story and wisdom, every page reveals a little broader glimpse of God’s grace.
“Stones in the River isn’t just a book. It’s an experience—a beautifully photographed and elegantly designed work of art.”
Meet Jo
I’m an author and speaker pursuing my fresh calling from God to recognize God’s presence in the lives of others and to help them intentionally leave a spiritual legacy of His unfailing love and faithfulness.
My passion is to help women thrive at every season of life’s journey.
I’m a former teacher, small business owner, and lover of all things beautiful, but my greatest delight was the season of raising our two beautiful, incredible, graceful daughters, my marriage journey, and now being blessed with 22 amazing, delightful grandchildren!
I’d love to come alongside you on your journey to help you leave a rich legacy of faith and family.
