Chasing Butterflies: The Cost of Listening to Everyone but God

What happens when a woman trades truth for feelings, butterflies for roots, and God's voice for the world's applause? Chasing Butterflies is a lyrical, soul-piercing novel about a modern woman's descent into the false freedom of lust, affirmation, and self-discovery—only to find herself empty, ashamed, and finally face-to-face with the God she ignored. Told in vivid scenes and poetic fragments, this book follows her journey from rejection to repentance, from wandering to worship. She believed her body was power. That independence was identity. That posting "God first" was enough, even while she lived last. But when her heart breaks in silence and her soul starves for meaning, she finds a book on her nightstand—The Olive Tree and the Lampstand—and begins the slow work of becoming a garden, not a flame. This is a story for women who want Christ, but secretly chase validation. For those who say "God-centered relationship" but mean "me first." For every girl raised in faith who later mocked it—and now, longs to return. If you've ever given yourself away, lowered your standards for love, or wondered if there's still holiness after heartbreak—this book is for you. A woman must become a wife before she is one. A man must build a home before he invites someone into it. Let this be your turning point.
