I'm writing
the book I needed
in my hardest season.

What happens when you stop trying to hold it all together, and lay it down at His feet instead.

God asked me to write this. I said I didn't have the time, the capacity or the money. He said it was urgent. Thirty chapters later, someone who didn't even know I was writing had already donated toward it.

The title and the cover are coming. The launch list hears both first.

Dr. Martha Nessler writing
What it's about

A book for the woman at the end of her own strength.

This is not a book about doing more for God. It's about what He does when you finally stop.

It's the story of a season marked by divorce, miscarriage, financial pressure and the unravelling of an identity built on performance — and of the God who met me there. It's about surrender that isn't defeat, waiting that isn't wasted, and the strange, specific way He provides when you actually let Him lead.

It's also, honestly, about the fight. About the nights that get loud. About learning to call on His name when everything in you wants to fix it yourself.

What's inside

A journey in five movements.

Movement one
What keeps us from His feet.

The self-sufficiency, distraction and "not enough" that keep us busy instead of close.

Movement two
How we got here.

The stories, fears and seasons that taught us to grab the wheel.

Movement three
The end of myself.

The moment I realized I couldn't, and what He did when I stopped trying.

Movement four
Women at His feet.

Nine women in Scripture who came to Jesus broken, grieving, ashamed, desperate and devoted, and what each one found there.

Movement five
ARISE.

A five-step framework the Lord walked me through, for the woman who is done just surviving and ready to step into what she was made for.

Martha was busy. Mary was at His feet. This book is for every woman who wants to live out both.

Who it's for

You'll know within a page whether this is yours.

  • You have surrendered a lot on paper, and are still quietly holding the steering wheel.
  • Your identity got built out of what you achieved, and that scaffolding is starting to give.
  • You are healing from something you have not fully said out loud yet.
  • You believe God has called you to something, and you are afraid you have already missed it.
  • You want to build the rest of your life with Him rather than for Him.

The book is the beginning. ARISE is the next step.

This book introduces the five-step A.R.I.S.E. framework that took me from on my knees at an old brown leather chair to leading women around the world. If you don't want to wait, the free workshop is open now.
