This Journey Is as Perennial as the Seasons
GraceLaced is about more than pretty florals and fanciful brushwork—it's about flourishing. With carefully crafted intention, this beautiful volume of 32 seasonal devotions from artist and author Ruth Chou Simons encourages readers in any circumstance to become deeply rooted in God's faithful promises. GraceLaced extends a soul-stirring invitation to draw close to God while...
- resting in who He is
- rehearsing the truth He says about you
- responding in faith to those truths
- remembering His provision to sustain you, time and time again
More than 800 individual pieces of art came together in the crafting of this book, including dozens of new, hand-painted Scripture vignettes that Ruth is known for.
Who we are and who God is never changes, even though everything else rarely stays the same. Let this book point you to truth as you journey through the changing seasons of your heart.

Review :
"How amazing is it, mamas, to have the beautiful, powerful, never-failing word of God all over our homes? I love that Ruth is using her incredible talent to help us follow God's commands so beautifully through her book, GraceLaced: Discovering Timeless Truths Through Seasons of the Heart."
—Korie Robertson, of A&E's Duck Dynasty and author of Strong and Kind: Raising Kids of Character
"Ruth Simons, mama to 6 boys, and one breathtaking artist (our walls sing with her gorgeous, edifying prints), is a mentor to me in many soul, life-giving ways. Have you seen Ruth's paintings? Four of these exquisite wonders hang on walls in our home...and one of those paintings, God used to lead us through the hardest season...and her Instagram feed? her blog? her book? can be like a gift of manna."
—Ann Voskamp, author of One Thousand Gifts and The Broken Way
"There is art that is beautiful and which causes you to pause and consider Him—and then there is that art that so swells with His beauty that you can't help but take off your shoes. Ruth's art, by brushstroke and pen, is the most exquisite kind of creative expression in that it made me want to put down her work and peer more closely at God. I have a growing list of friends to whom I want to gift this book. It's too good not to share again and again."
—Sara Hagerty, author of Every Bitter Thing is Sweet
