Ruth Chou Simons

Simons connects the power of visual and written storytelling to explore themes of beauty and faith, rooted in her Chinese cultural heritage. Her approach blends lyrical prose with artistic visuals to invite reflection and renewal, guiding readers through a spiritual journey. This dual focus allows her to intertwine personal narratives with broader theological insights, emphasizing the transformative power of grace and identity. Simons’ works, including the Wall Street Journal bestsellers "GraceLaced" and "Beholding and Becoming," provide readers with contemplative pathways to practice faith in everyday life.\n\nFor readers seeking spiritual rest and identity exploration, Simons' books, such as "When Strivings Cease" and "Now and Not Yet," offer deep insights into grace's transformative power. Her writing encourages a contemplative journey, fostering a sense of spiritual rest and identity. Beyond her literary contributions, she enriches her narratives with personal experiences, particularly as a mother of six, making her a significant voice in faith-based literature. Her work, therefore, not only nourishes the soul but also offers practical applications for practicing faith, as highlighted in "Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms." Through these themes, Simons invites readers to experience spiritual growth and transformation in their daily lives.
