Brave Change
Paperback

Unexpected endings don’t cancel out God’s faithfulness.
Are you in a midlife season of unwanted change that has shifted your life in unexpected ways? Maybe this season has you questioning your identity, your purpose, or whether God’s promises for your life still stand. Brave Change invites women in midlife to embrace life’s shifts with courage rooted in trust in God.
Unexpected change can cause your life to feel upended into a chapter you never wanted to write—whether it’s divorce, death, family troubles, broken relationships, hope deferred, a health or financial crisis, the unraveling of a dream, or a transition you never saw coming. In this book, Krista Pettiford draws from Naomi’s story in the book of Ruth and her own personal journey to offer biblical wisdom, hope, and practical guidance for navigating unexpected seasons.
What you’ll discover with Brave Change:
This encouraging resource speaks to women navigating life-altering transitions—especially singleness—with emotional honesty, theological depth, and practical application. If your life did not unfold as you planned, Brave Change will remind you that God remains faithful in every season.
Let this book encourage you that your story is not over. You can embrace midlife as a season of renewed purpose, clarity, and healing. In fact, this season could be the beginning of something new and beautiful.
