Amy is a speaker and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries, the author of Exhale and Breaking Up with Perfect, and co-host of the Grit ‘n’ Grace podcast. She also serves other women who are called to speak through Next Step Coaching Services. She's been married to Barry for over 30 years and they have two grown sons and one daughter-in-love.

She wrote her first book out of a deep conviction that her perfectionism was ruining her relationships and God needed to do a work in her heart and the book did that for her. Perfectionism is a sin and a burden, and Amy is incredibly grateful for God's great love that covers all our sin and gently invites us to grow more like His son, Jesus.

Amy's latest book is about one my favorite Bible characters, Esther:

Esther: Seeing Our Invisible God in an Uncertain World

What do you do when God seems to have vanished?

When you have a decision to make, when your stability is shaken, when your sure-fire plan fails—when everything is spinning out of control…

Esther is the perfect partner for seeing our invisible God in uncertainty.

This six-week, in-depth study of the book of Esther is a gritty dive into a woman’s story that teaches us to:

Listen to wise people who fill our gaps of understanding
Embrace your feelings as a catalyst for God-directed action.
Do the work God assigns you even when in doubt.
Speak up with confidence, knowing that God has a place for your voice in His story.

This study guide includes biblical and historical background insights, Bible study, practical application, and questions for reflection.
