Messy to Meaningful 


is co-authored by Rhonda, daughter-writer-bud Kaley Rhea, and Monica Schmelter, General Manager of Christian Television Network’s WHTN in Nashville and host of Bridges. This writing trio takes us on a sometimes hilarious, always poignant journey through our spiritual junk, using lessons from “that drawer” to help us get from Messy to Meaningful.

What people are saying:

“If you want to get rid of the clutter in your life and learn how to keep what’s good and let go of what weighs you down, read this book.  In Messy to Meaningful, the authors will have you laughing out loud as you discover how to make positive changes, apply biblical truth, release the unnecessary, and get personally and spiritually organized.  You can read this book on your own, but I highly recommend going through it with a group of friends as you learn to live in a new kind of freedom.”

I’ve looked into the junk drawer in my kitchen countless times. I never discovered God-moments there, but my friends, Rhonda Rhea, Kaley Rhea, and Monica Schmelter have done exactly that in their book, Messy to Meaningful: Lessons from the Junk Drawer. With great insight flavored by their delightful personalities, they discuss the junk in our lives that deters us from serving God, what we can do about it, and the precious spiritual lessons we can discover in those moments. I love this book!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT FIX HER UPPER:

Let’s face it: we’re all admittedly WIPs (Works in Progress) so it’s good to know that God is with us WIP (While in Process). Wouldn’t we all love that moment of a big reveal of the finally-finished-every-detail-in-place-better-more-amazing YOU? And then get to kick back and enjoy our perfect life? As if. Instead, kick back in your real life mess and enjoy this fun reminder that The Master Builder is constantly remaking us.

Right now I’m in the middle of my own home renovation project and I can tell you, it feels like it would be so much easier to do a complete tear down than to try to salvage anything from this falling down, what I’ll generously call, home. And I’ve been there in my own life—wondering if there is anything even worth hanging on to. What you need in the middle of any restoration is an eye for what to keep, and what to get rid of. In their book, Fix-Her-Upper—Hope and Laughter Through a God-Renovated Life, Beth and Rhonda guide you through your own DIY project with the tools you need: Hope with a giant bucket of grace. It’s messy, but the results are worth it.
