Do you sometimes feel that lifes current circumstances, combined with the uncertainty of the future, can threaten to knock the joy right out of your heart and cause panic to saturate your soul?

She Smiles without Fear takes an in-depth dive into Scripture while also providing engaging anecdotes from her own journey with Jesus. This useful tool will not only empower you to smile confidently at the future, it will enable you to experience Gods peace in the present.

She Smiles without Fear invites women to rethink the stereotype of the Proverbs 31 woman being poised, planned, and perfect. Katy helped me learn through this study to exhale, shifting from doing to being with Jesus. I discovered that so much of my fear of the future is a misplaced perspective of where I look for my future. This book was my much-needed reset button that challenged me to refocus my gaze off my fears and onto the One who holds my future.

Lisa Allen, executive director of ministry & staff development at Proverbs 31 Ministries

Having been through a painful divorce and facing a cavern of unknowns, I know all too well how fear of present circumstances and an uncertain future can grip our hearts so tightly its hard to breath, much less trust God is in control. She Smiles without Fear gives a fresh, Scripture-based perspective on how, regardless of where our fears are rooted or what our circumstances are, getting our hearts right with God is the answer to reclaiming our peace and joy. Through Katys inspirational stories, encouragement, tips, and action steps, every reader will feel lighter and happier once she completes the study.

Tracie Miles, author of Living Unbroken plus four bestselling books, director of Compel Training at Proverbs 31 Ministries

At Proverbs 31 Ministries, weve spent decades helping women see that the Proverbs 31 woman is not a standard of perfection or an object of comparison for us. It wasnt her activity that mattered the mostbut rather her identity. A Proverbs 31 woman is, at her core, someone who seeks the Lord in everything she does and trusts Him wholeheartedly with her life. I love that Katy hones in on one key aspect of the Proverbs 31 woman that many women struggle with: fear of the future. With Katys help, women will walk away from this five-week study hopeful and understanding that while we may feel afraid, we dont have to live in fear. I cant think of a better resource for right now!

Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Timesbestselling author, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

With what can seem like the weight of the world on our shoulders, we are all prone to letting overwhelm creep in and snuff out the delight of life. She Smiles without Fear helps us understand what the word joy actually means and discover all God has for us when we really learn to look to Him. With highly practical steps, one of my very favorite writers, Katy McCown, invites us to journey alongside her to find the peace and joy weve always longed for, equipping us to finally face our future without fear!

The Proverbs 31 woman is one of the most mysterious women in the Bible to us modern-day women. I love that Katy McCown is making her less mysterious through this fantastic Bible study. Katy is so wise and funny, and she helps women connect to the Word in a powerful way!

Nicki Koziarz, bestselling author, speaker with Proverbs 31 Ministries

Wendy Blight, author, biblical content specialist for Proverbs 31 Online Bible Studies

Katy McCown speaks to my heart every time I spend time with her. This book is no different. I was drawn in by the stories and given a secure footing to move forward by the truth she shares. If you struggle with fear and worry (dont we all?), you need the words on these pages.

Jill Savage, author of Real Moms Real Jesus and No More Perfect Marriages

When I first met Katy, we were both in the thick of newborns, young kids, and moving to a new city. Football brought us together, but our hearts keep our friendship alive. This study will truly encourage you to uncover what is holding you back from becoming the woman God longs for you to be. Throughout this book you will think, pray, learn, and definitely laugh. Thank you, Katy, for taking the time to help all of us laugh.

Kirsten Watson, disciple, wife of NFL athlete/author Benjamin Watson, mother of seven

Katy McCown is uniquely gifted with a passionate voice that inspires you to know God more. Ive had the privilege of sitting around the table as she teaches about becoming more like Jesus. In She Smiles without Fear, youll feel like Katy is sitting around the table with you, too, as she shares stories from her family and faith. This study will equip you to find freedom from your fear of the future and a fresh infusion of joy-filled faith.
