Imma See for Myself: A Stubborn Girl's Guide to Trusting God (the First Time Around) (Hardback or Cased Book)

Popular content creator and gospel musician Ariel Fitz-Patrick (who you may recognize with a blanket over her head playing her own sassy Guardian Angel) is “refreshingly vulnerable” (Publishers Weekly) as she shares candid stories of trusting God through life’s hardest seasons, offering humor, wisdom, and big-sister-style encouragement for anyone wanting to deepen their own faith. 

“Is that you, God? Telling me not to do that thing that you know will turn out badly for me? Telling me to listen to your Word instead of my own foolish ideas? Yeah, imma have to see for myself ...” ―Every Christian Ever.  

We've all been there. We’ve all had moments where we heard God telling us to do that thing (or not do that thing) that’s been bouncing around in our heads for a while. Sometimes He tells us to stop complaining and start praying. Or He tells us to stop hanging out with that person who’s been a really bad influence. Or He warns us not to say those words to that person who cut us off in traffic, even though they absolutely deserved it! 

Ariel Fitz-Patrick, gospel musician and TikTok star, has been exactly where you are. She’s been in a lot of situations where God asked her to trust Him even when she wanted to go her own way. There were lots of smaller moments when she was called on to trust God, like when her Caribbean father had strict rules she had to choose whether to follow or when friends pressured her to drink underage. She's also faced much harder moments, like when her family faced homelessness and deep betrayal from people in her own church, as well as times when Ariel wrestled with her own faith questions and uncertainty about what matters most. All of these moments, big or small, were opportunities from God to rely on Him. Everything around you will tell you that you can’t know for sure unless you see for yourself, but our faithful God knows what’s best for you every time. 

In Imma See for Myself, Ariel shows how God brought her from heavy-burdened to blossoming―all because she was willing to trust Him even when she couldn’t see the whole path. She shares how you can grow in faith even in the most painful moments through both humorous and hard stories from her life, comedy skits, and wise advice from a girl who’s gone and seen for herself. Take it from her―go and SEEK Him for yourself!
