Publisher's Description

Women desire to live well. However, living well in this modern world is a challenge. The pace of life, along with the new front porch of social media, has changed the landscape of our lives. Women have been told for far too long that being on the go and accumulating more things will make their lives full. As a result, we grasp for the wrong things in life and come up empty. God created us to walk with him; to know him and to be loved by him. He is our living well and when we drink from the water he continually provides, it will change us. Our marriages, our parenting, and our homemaking will be transformed. Mommy-blogger Courtney Joseph is a cheerful realist. She tackles the challenge of holding onto vintage values in a modern world, starting with the keys to protecting our walk with God. No subject is off-limits as she moves on to marriage, parenting, and household management. Rooted in the Bible, her practical approach includes tons of tips that are perfect for busy moms, including: Simple Solutions for Studying God’s Word How to Handle Marriage, Parenting, and Homemaking in a Digital Age 10 Steps to Completing Your Husband Dealing With Disappointed Expectations in Motherhood Creating Routines that Bring Rest Pursuing the Discipline and Diligence of the Proverbs 31 Woman There is nothing more important than fostering your faith, building your marriage, training your children, and creating a haven for your family. Women Living Well is a clear and personal guide to making the most of these precious responsibilities.

Erica Arndt

Courtney clearly calls women to live their lives with intentionality and provides sound direction and motivating encouragement to those who long to live confidently for God’s purposes.

Sally Clarkson

“I love Courtney’s balanced biblical approach to women living well. Her thoughts are sincere, her voice beautifully endearing, and her ideas refreshingly helpful. And as always, she keeps her perspectives coming from a heart totally sold out to Jesus.”

Lysa TerKeurst

“Women Living Well is a grace-filled roadmap for biblical womanhood in today’s culture. Using Scripture and real-life examples, Courtney gives us practical instruction on how to live for God while serving as a homemaker, wife, and mother—and proves it’s not only possible but fulfilling too! Her passion for the Lord is contagious and shines through every word she writes. If there’s one book to read this year on serving Jesus as a modern woman, this is it.”

Mandy Ballard

“biblical resource that all women looking to grow in their walk with the Lord should read.”

Kylie Bisutti

“Here is what I love about Courtney Joseph—and why I believe you will love this book—she lives the life she writes about. So often those in ministry say one thing publicly and live a very different life privately. Courtney loves and respects her husband, she bows down before the King in her daily walk, and she builds women up by encouraging them to do the same.”

Fawn Weaver

“Every woman needs to read this book to help her draw from the living well.”

Janice Le

“This book is full of timeless truths that will lead women to a more joy-filled life. In an increasingly busy world, Courtney inspires us to slow down and get a proper perspective of what matters most.”

Candace Cameron Bure

“In a culture that offers fast fixes and snazzy shortcuts that promise to lead women to happiness but rarely ever satisfy, Courtney Joseph’s Women Living Well offers the truth: we as women can only live well when we intentionally drink deep from the true wellspring of life—Jesus Himself. This volume is chock-full of biblical advice and practical inspiration that will help you to effectively live and love God, your husband, your kids, and your home—in that order.”

Karen Ehman

“Women Living Well is a rare gem in this modern world, and a must-have companion for women. Courtney’s Christ-centered approach to life is right on the mark cheering us on to the finish line. With wisdom and guidance, she encourages us to grab hold of God and dig into His Word. This book left me feeling challenged, refreshed, and inspired!”

Darlene Schacht

“Women Living Well is a beautifully written, warm, wise, and very practical guide for wives. And, it’s based on the Bible. Courtney Joseph is refreshingly honest and real. She knows how to live well and she can show you how.”

Dr. David Clarke

Sheila Wray Gregoire

“Women Living Well is the perfect title for this book as it does indeed demonstrate how we can all live well in our lives!”

Clare Smith

“I have had the honor of being best friends with Courtney since we were carefree teenagers in high school, laughing at ourselves and dreaming of what God might have in store for our lives. Though Courtney and I have evolved over the years from teenagers to wives and mothers, one thing which hasn’t changed is Courtney’s passion and love for God. I know I wouldn’t be the same person without her influence in my life, and after reading her book, I dare to say the same will be true for you! Women Living Well is a modern day guide designed to help our generation learn to “Walk with the King” in all areas of our lives.”

Angela Perritt

“With her warm, inviting style I feel as if Courtney has become a close and caring friend through these pages, but mostly I feel more connected to Jesus, my close and caring Friend, who is always there for me, even in my busy life. I highly recommend this book!”

Tricia Goyer

“Women Living Well gives a practical and applicable guide to help women as they seek to be Godly mothers and wives. We need more of these values in our homes today and I’m thankful for Courtney’s heart and the mission God has given her.”

Kelly Stamps

“I long to live well and love well, yet many days I feel pulled from every direction, divided into a million pieces, and left with so little to give to those I love. If that’s you too, pull up a chair and spend time with my friend, Courtney Joseph. In Women Living Well, she offers an inspirational and practical road map for today’s busy Christian woman who wants God’s best for her marriage, her parenting, her homemaking, and her everyday life. This is a book I’ll read again and again.”
