In this hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, we feel more anxious than ever. Despite all the affirming memes and self-reflections that dominate social media feeds, approval and worth often seem assigned to what we do rather than who we are. And we end up constantly feeling like we''re behind, lacking, and failing—at home, at work, with friends, with God.

Ruth Chou Simons knows something about feeling measured by achievement, performance, and the approval of others. As a Taiwanese immigrant growing up between two cultures, Ruth was always on a mission to prove her worth, until she came to truly understand the one thing that changes everything: the extravagant, undeserved gift of grace from a merciful God.

In When Strivings Cease, Ruth guides you on a journey to find freedom from the never-ending quest for self-improvement. She shows you how to:

With personal stories, biblical insights, practical applications, and touches of original artwork by Ruth, When Strivings Cease will help you see the beautiful truth that God''s grace is the only thing you need—because in Christ you are enough.

Do you ever feel like your present moment is so far from where you really long to be? Do you ever struggle with embracing your right now because you are so focused on the future?

Too often, we feel disappointed with our "right now"—our life circumstances, our relationships, our lack progress towards our dreams and goals, our daily grind. We want to do so many things—good, godly things—but our situations don''t allow us to step into them.

In Now and Not Yet, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons has a powerful message for you when you''re restless in your current season of life and just waiting—waiting to get beyond the pain, waiting for God to show up, waiting to get to tomorrow—she reminds you that it''s okay to not like the right now we''ve been given, but we don''t have to like it to lean in.

Home Is Right Where You Are is bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons''s first children''s book—a beautiful treasure of God''s promises combined with her moving art.

Wildflowers don''t need to be taught how to live freely or release their burdens. They’re dependent on their Maker.

Are you looking for a new way of living? A way to stop anxious thoughts and release heavy burdens you aren’t meant to carry?

In Luke 12:25–28, Jesus asks, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” He continues, “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!”

In The Way of the Wildflower, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons invites you to live like the flowers of the field through thirty gospel meditations covering five ways of the wildflower: Dependency, Freedom, Resilience, Unhurriedness, and Belovedness.

This gorgeous, full-color devotional features Simons’ signature art and stunning hand-painted botanicals, alongside:

The Jesus who instructs us not to worry about our lives is the same Jesus who made a way to the Father for us when there was no way. Is anything too hard for our God? Are any of your worries and fears beyond his capable hands?

If you''re wrestling with your past, struggling in your present, or fearful for your future, pause and be still. Consider how the wildflowers grow, remember that the God who cares for them cares for you, too, and let your anxious soul find rest in Him.
