A gentle word can be a light in the dark — and this book is my humble offering of light.
I wrote this bookfor the weary-hearted , for the ones who are grieving, transitioning, questioning, or simply trying to hold on. These pages are filled with honest reflections, personal stories, and prayers shaped by my own seasons of both sorrow and hope.
This book is deeply rooted in Scripture and guided by the belief that God meets us in the middle of our mess , not once we’ve cleaned it all up. It’s not here to give you perfect answers, but to offer presence. My prayer is that as you read, you’ll feel less alone and more aware of the gentle, faithful love of God.
If you’ve ever needed a quiet place to catch your breath, cry your tears, or simply be reminded that healing is still possible – this is for you.
Come sit beneath with me. May you find comfort, courage, and rest for your soul.
— Addie
In a world that often feels divided and overwhelming, The Stone and The Oak invites you into a quiet place of reflection, healing, and faith. This book is for anyone who has ever asked hard questions, wrestled with doubt, or simply needed someone to say, “I’ve been there too.”
Through heartfelt devotionals, personal stories, and prayers written from the trenches of real life, Addie shares the beauty that can still be found in broken places — and the God who meets us there.
Whether you read it cover to cover or one page at a time, this book was created to walk with you through life’s hardest seasons — offering hope, not answers; presence, not pressure.
