Discover the power of being a hot mess with these heartbreaking and hilarious stories of how God uses each “mess” in our lives to bring us closer to Him–showing readers that it’s okay to celebrate exactly where they are right now.

A lot of people struggle with the concept of being holy. But the fact is, even the hottest of messes are being shaped—right now—into Jesus’ likeness. In this book, Mary Katherine shares the sometimes-hidden evidence of God’s work in her life and shows you that it’s okay to embrace the hot messes.
 
Mary Katherine will share both hilarious and vulnerable stories about faith, friendships, motherhood, marriage, and depression. She will cover the topics that plague our hearts every day with raw, honest truth and a side of laughter. Mary Katherine invites you into her story as a friend, encouraging you to embrace the hot messes in your life. Because we are all a work in progress, and as long as we are alive, we are under construction—and construction sites tend to be messy.
