Love Because: How to Change the World One Blessing at a Time
A Fresh, Down-to-Earth Look on Living and Loving Well
Available through Amazon.
If asked, most of us want to make a difference, to live and love generously. But we get caught in the crazy rush of household routines, work demands, cranky attitudes, difficult people, exhaustion, worry, and pride, and once again we fail to love the people around us at all—let alone well. We too easily default to focusing more on self than on others, on receiving more than giving, in ways we don’t even recognize. We dream of reaching out. We just . . . forget. Or don’t have the energy.
Using relatable stories, discussion questions, and careful application of God’s Word, Love Because gives you the inspiration and practical tips and ideas you need to see the opportunities around you, to reach out, to live generously, and to love others bravely and selflessly. To bless and be blessed is to actualize the joy of Christ—and to propel love forward.
“If you don’t want to make the world a better place, don’t open this book. But if you’re ready to take part in a global revolution, read on. Becky’s powerful message will remind you that the biggest world change often begins with the smallest acts of love. And each of us can change the world right where we are.”

THIS BOOK was formerly available under a different title, Generous Love. Becky gave it a makeover and re-released it to the world for such a time as this. If you’ve read Generous Love, the content is the same.

The SuperMom Myth: Conquering the Dirty Villains of Motherhood
Available through Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Christianbook.com and other booksellers nationwide
This book isn’t about raising kids. It’s about raising Moms. In our Pinterest-perfect culture, you’ve likely sensed an accelerated pressure to measure up. Then you either weigh yourself down with guilt or become resigned—desensitized, even—to this so-called failure. The Supermom Myth—with humor and grace, yet all the while maintaining a firm grasp on reality—aims to empower you to become the mom God created you to be. With eight chapters, each personifying a “dirty villain” of motherhood, including The Grouch on the Couch (Anger), Worry Woman (Fear), and The Calendar Queen (Busyness), this book offers a gentle reminder to rest in the super power of our grace-filled God.
“This book is essential for every mom who has ever doubted herself. Moms, run, don’t walk to snag this handbook for fighting for your sanity!”
—Lisa-Jo Baker, author of Never Unfriended and Surprised by Motherhood
“The SuperMom Myth brings a much-needed message of hope, encouragement, and reality that every mom needs to hear. The perfect read for any mom in the trenches worried that she’s not quite getting it right.”
—Ruth Soukup, New York Times bestselling author of Living Well, Spending Less: 12 Secrets of the Good Life
“Funny and insightful, she is a warm companion on the journey from idealism to reality.”
—Publishers Weekly
