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

Join the book club at Patreon for more discussion and encouragement as you undertake the Boots That Fit activities.

OR make a group of five and hold a Boots That Fit course. Over six sessions, Ruth will 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.

About Ruth Amos

Ruth AmosHi, I’m Ruth Amos. I’m an author, speaker, editor, wife, mother of two incredible grown-up children and grandmother to three fantastic kids.

Through my blog, podcast 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 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.

You can connect with me on Twitter and on Facebook.
