An Encouraging New Devotional for Caregivers

Hi friends! I’m thrilled to offer an encouraging new devotional especially for caregivers, releasing on November 11, 2025 and now available for pre-order.

This is my fourth book, and it holds a special place in my heart. It is tenderly written with deep love and respect for every caregiver's journey, because I myself have been walking through a season of caregiving for the past five years. My eyes welled with tears when I finished writing this book, because I sensed that caregivers hold a very special place in God's heart. He is close to each of us as we walk through the often challenging but precious in His sight caregiving season.

Overflowing Grace: Finding Strength to Carry On as a Caregiver (A 60-Day Devotional) points stressed, exhausted caregivers to Christ and His sustaining strength and grace through Scripture, relevant teaching, and sweet encouragement. It reminds readers that their current caregiving journey is a divine assignment and they are not alone. Every devotion offers a related prayer to support and reassure caregivers in the life-changing, often overwhelming, and always challenging task of caregiving. 

Whether you are caring for a spouse, a grandchild, or a parent; whether you are a long-term caregiver or in the caregiving role for a season, Julie’s book will strengthen and support you through your caregiving journey.

If you are a caregiver or know someone who is, my fervent prayer is that this book will equip and strengthen every reader as they walk through their caregiving season.
