In the noisy, fast-paced culture we live in there is something that has been forgotten: the art of appreciating the importance of being still. In Finding Quiet , Jamie Grace gives us more clarity on the importance of understanding that slowing down can be the place that we hear Gods voice the clearest. My encouragement to you is to take to heart and put into practice what Jamie Grace says so eloquently in this book.
Anthony Evans, artist, author, and worship leader
Finding Quiet is such powerful insight into the heart of what makes Jamie one of my favorite humans. Her balance of the noise and the quiet have inspired me to pursue the same balance in my career and my everyday life.
Melinda Doolittle, recording artist, author, Melinda Doolittle Entertainment
Jamie Grace is brutally, deeply, dangerously honest about herself. (And thats why this book is going to be a blessing to so many who will think, Her too? I thought I was the only one. ) Theres something freeing about deep introspection coupled with real, life-giving, hard-won wisdom. And thats what Jamie Grace is giving us.
Brant Hansen, radio host and author of The Truth About Us , Unoffendable , and Blessed Are the Misfits
Jamie Grace brings all of herself to this book, Finding Quiet . Her stories are honest and raw. Her voice is tender and loving, and the tone of this book is nothing but encouraging. As a woman who has done lots of hard work to find her quiet, Jamie Grace will help you find yours as well! If you are feeling like this world is roaring with noises, like I often do, pick this book up and begin to devour her words. Shes the friend you always wanted, inviting you into her experiences and sharing what truths she has found from Scripture to help you on your journey in life. Thank you, Jamie Grace, for these words!
Jamie Ivey, bestselling author and host of The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey podcast
For someone who is known for making music, sharing a message of Finding Quiet is a strong and beautiful testament to Jamie Graces wisdom and growth as an artist, woman, and believer. Jamie Grace has a way of sharing hope for others in search of peace, in a relatable (and oftentimes hilarious) way. It is conversational and contemplative, heartwarming and thought-provoking. In Finding Quiet , you will feel heard and seen.
Morgan Harper Nichols, artist and poet
Ive toured with Jamie and have watched her pour her soul out so that others could experience Gods grace, love, and power. In her new book, shes at it again! Marinate in each chapter and youll gain wisdom, encouragement, and inspiration.
Tony Nolan, evangelist, mentor, and pastor

To the over-thinkers and hopeful believers, and to the anxious hearts that are graciously beating, we have our fears, insecurities, doubts, and setbacks, yet seldom give ourselves credit for how far weve come.
So lets silence the noise that says we cannot achieve, lets embrace the silence whose joy is noisy. To the children, men, and women who are anything like me, lets remember we are fighters, and there is a grace that covers every one of our needs.

JAMIE GRACE! JAMIE GRACE! JAMIE GRACE!
The crowd chanted as I stood offstage in a unicorn onesie.
I had just turned twenty-five and was celebrating by releasing the song Party Like a Princess and doing a concert a day later in Minnesota, one of my favorite places to perform.
(A little backstory on the onesie: I started my career by making YouTube videos, so a lot of people who know my music have also watched a lot of the comedic and lifestyle videos I share on my channel. One thing that has weaved its way into these videos is my love for wearing onesiesand unicorn onesies in particular.)
I had decided that at the end of the show, we would black out the lights and I would run backstage, change into a onesie, and return to perform an encore of Party Like a Princess.
While I knew that a lot of people had bought and streamed the song online, I wasnt prepared for what happened next.
As I headed back to the stage after changing, I heard the chants.
JAMIE GRACE! JAMIE GRACE! JAMIE GRACE!
I was overwhelmed and excited but also a bit nervous. While the song had reached number one on iTunes the day it was releasedjust one day before the concertI was slightly worried that doing an encore with a song less than twenty-four hours old might have been an odd choice.
But the second the song started, with its intense bass line and drums, the crowd went wild.
They know it! I thought.
I walked onto the stage and began singing and, to my surprise, almost everyone in the room sang my words back to me. I kept looking to the side of the stage where Morgan, my sister and best friend, stood, as if to ask, Are you seeing this? Are you hearing this?
This was the first song I had released since leaving a record label and becoming an independent artist. The concert was booked and promoted through my own management and not by a major booking company. I was blown away to see how many people believed in me. I could barely process how much they were supporting me.
I had a message I wanted to share, songs I was passionate about, and I was so grateful that every little dream in my heart was coming true.
Halfway through the song, I made a spontaneous decision to talk over the music, inviting every girl in the crowd wearing a onesie to come onstage and dance with me. The girls rushed the stage, and the energy in the crowd carried itself onto the platform as we jumped, sang, and screamed. It was one of the most memorable moments of my entire life.
