Live with peace and purpose.

Welcome!
I’m Hilary Bernstein, and I love encouraging women to live a life of peace and purpose … and to forget about perfection.
As an author of more than a dozen books and a women’s ministry director, my passion is helping Christian women thrive even in the middle of the challenges of everyday life. As you navigate this changing, uncertain world, I am absolutely certain that Christ can bring you the peace you’re looking for. And when you follow Him, He’ll fill your life with purpose.
I believe every Christian woman can experience a life of peace and purpose. (Even if you, like me, are prone to perfectionism.)
As that happens, we’ll change our own corners of the world … for the better. Join my online community and I’ll e-mail you encouragement, tips, and resources to help you live with peace and purpose.
