About

Wake up each new day and say yes.

There is a moment in all of our lives when leaning into the unknown becomes our only viable pathway forward. This is the moment you must ask, "Do I believe the Storyteller knows better than anyone else my part in the story?" If the answer is yes, pack your bags and get ready to follow God into the unknown.

In this vulnerable, laugh-out-loud book, Jenny Simmons shares her own journey through seasons of change and lostness, dead ends and detours, and finally into the terrifying, unknown, God-designed future. The road to becoming is not easy, but it is here you'll begin to discover that new life--life abundant--is always, ever among us. Dancing on the horizon.

"Jenny possesses wisdom far beyond her years, but she has walked through deserts you wouldn't believe in order to obtain it. She knows firsthand that God can take you high as well as take you low, using both to teach and grow you. May her story encourage you in yours."

"In an always-online world of Pinterest- and Instagram-fueled comparison and disappointment, Jenny Simmons writes with a voice that rings true for many. With The Road to Becoming, she invites her readers to discover their own journey waiting in the journey she has written about; to find the hand of love that reaches down, tears up a life of man-made plans, and replaces them with a life centered on the wild-eyed, boundary-shattering Nazarene who revealed himself to be the glorious, life-changing Son of God."

Matt Maher, performing artist
