About the Book

From the breaking to the remaking, MakeHer emerges from the quiet work of being undone and remade — a gentle, faith‑filled devotional for women longing to rediscover who they are and Who they belong to.

Written for seasons of loss, transition, rebuilding, or quiet ache, MakeHer offers a compassionate companion through the tender work of becoming whole again. Rooted in Scripture and shaped through lived experience, these reflections invite you to return to your God‑given identity, reconnect with your voice, and walk closely with the God who restores.

Across stories, contemplative practices, and prayerful guidance, you’ll explore themes of identity, spiritual growth, creativity, and hope. Each chapter creates space for rest and reflection, meeting you where you are and gently lifting your eyes back to the One who faithfully remakes every part of your story.

If you’re longing for a more grounded, spacious way of living — one shaped not by striving, but by God’s presence — MakeHer will guide you back to the truth of who you are: beloved, chosen, and deeply seen.

“I read MakeHer with tears in my eyes. Wendy has a rare gift for capturing the Father’s heart with every word she writes. Each page is filled with beautiful, tender truth — rich in grace, compassion, and biblical insight — gently tugging at the heart and making every chapter deeply relatable.

This book is a valuable and life-giving resource for women of all ages and stages, offering hope, encouragement, and practical wisdom. I love that MakeHer ultimately points us to the One who alone can bring true healing, restoration, freedom, and joy — even from the most painful parts of our stories.

We are so looking forward to journeying through MakeHer in our mums connect group and know it will be a blessing to many.”
