Living a quiet life

About Ruth Amos

Hi, I’m Ruth Amos. I’m an author, speaker and editor.

Through my newsletter and nonfiction books I hope to help people to live a quiet life, doing the things that God has called them to do – the things that bring them joy and bless others. Through my fiction (written as RJ Amos) I hope to provide a clean and wholesome escape, whether that be science fiction, romantic suspense, or a good old-fashioned cosy mystery.

I live in Tasmania, Australia, one of the best places on God’s earth. I’m Moz’s wife, the mother of two incredible grown-up children and grandmother to three fantastic kids. I love writing, reading, knitting, walking on the beach (any beach), and having coffee with people. I am a disciple of Jesus and though I regularly stumble, I try always to get back in step with Him as soon as possible.

If you’d like to hear more from me, please sign up to my newsletter. You’ll receive news about my family and a first look at my new books and speaking events. I also share my latest thoughts about various topics – mostly time- and life-management related.

To chat with me about speaking engagements, workshops or courses, email ruth@ruthamos.com.au

Boots That Fit

Are you tired of living a life that doesn’t fit?

Find your place and serve others in a way that is truly yours.

“There is so much to like about Ruth Amos’ Boots that Fit. Not only is it friendly, easy to read and comprehensive in its scope, it is also so very practical. The activity section at the end of each chapter is a gold mine. Leadership books come and go, but this one is clearly worthy of recommendation.” Rev Peter Adlem.

“I’m really encouraged, having read Boots that Fit, as I see Ruth’s collective wisdom as being one little ‘treasure’ I can utilise in my mentoring ministry – and my own life! Boots that Fit is a timely guide to assist people in taking a breath, and reorienting themselves to what brings life and health. It is NOT a ‘self-help’ guide, as so many are marketed these days, but it is the accumulated wisdom and advice of someone with lived experience, written with humour, and a testimony to the God who is guiding her on this journey.” Libby Todd.

You can order Boots That Fit from Amazon, Kobo, Koorong or wherever books are sold. Or head to my shop for ebooks or paperbacks. The Boots That Fit Companion Workbook is available here.

I also offer Boots That Fit courses. Over six sessions, I take you through the major themes of the book and encourage you to use the tools, as you support each other to make thoughtful changes in your lives. Email me at ruth@ruthamos.com.au to find out more.

This companion workbook gives you all the tools you need to complete the activities in Boots That Fit and allows you to keep the results in one place so that you can reflect on them later.

The activities in this workbook will help you find who you are, what values you live by and how to organise your days so you can serve God and others in a way that also brings you to life.
