Stepping Out: To a Life on the Edge

Hard days and hesitant hearts meet real hope--discover Christ-centered courage, contentment, and peace for a life stretched by anxiety, insecurity, and the need to please.

In a world that presses women with worry, perfectionism, and restless striving, this book is honest about the struggles--big and small--that so often weigh us down. With warmth and candor, author Deb Burma shares the stories of real women alongside her own, all through the lens of the Gospel, never shying away from questions about purpose, self-worth, and forgiveness.

Stepping Out Features:

• 12 Study Sessions
• Honest, personal stories
• Focus points to help your learning
• Reflection questions at the end of each chapter

Each chapter focuses on a different place where feet feel stuck: fear, regrets, anxiety, insecurity, judgment, hurried busyness, and more. You'll find meaningful connections to Scripture and everyday encounters with Christ that lead not to platitudes, but to assurance rooted in Jesus. Questions for reflection invite you and your small Bible study group to talk and pray together, addressing shame, bitterness, and doubts with God's gracious promises.

Christ takes center stage here--His grace changes everything, even when circumstances don't. The path isn't always easy. But you are never alone, for Christ meets you with forgiveness and the Spirit's strength. Trace the edges of comfort and discover a life shaped by courage, hope, and contentment that endures.

"As I connect with women around the country on a heart-to-heart level, I hear many surprising similarities to their unique life stories. Circumstances and situations are completely different, but fears, failures, struggles, and insecurities within each woman are so much the same."-Deb Burma
