I'm not famous. I haven't spoken at massive rallies or inspired large crowds...to do anything. I'm just an average lady without any major accomplishments to my name. I have never really been much of anything, or anybody. I guess that's why I should write a book. Maybe I'm more relatable as a nobody! Can't you relate more to the run-of-the-mill, average, hot mess friend than the one with spotless, white carpet and shining stainless steel appliances without one fingerprint on them? Most Christian books I've read, especially those written by pastor's wives, are sweet, but unrelatable. These women seem to have it all together, captivating their audiences with their words of profound wisdom, and you have the hope that you, too, can achieve their perfection. Each time I read one of these sanguinely sweet books, I feel more defeated than encouraged. I can't live up to these standards. Books that are so full of ridiculous optimism and a sense of unearthly perfection. I aim for perfection. I strive for it. I dream of the perfectly decorated shabby chic home with everything in its place. I reach for the goal of defeating the colossal mountain of laundry, the eternal pile of dirty dishes; but alas, it defeats me every time. In fact, I dare say it not only defeats me, but it mocks me. Laughing at my languishing spirit. I endeavor to be the trophy pastor's wife; to achieve the best ratio of smiles to casseroles. But what happens when the pastor's wife sucks at making casseroles? Or when she doesn't feel like smiling when you tell her what a horrible job she or her husband is doing? This book is my attempt to bring some humor, truth, and a bit of hope, in a time when it's needed most. Stories took straight out of the screenplay of my everyday life, to encourage you in yours.

Mary Katherine will share both hilarious and vulnerable stories about faith, friendships, motherhood, marriage, and depression.

"For Christians who love a bit of sass, this delightful guide poignantly explains how to praise God while accepting the messiness that life brings."—Publisher's Weekly God is Crazy About You—Hot Mess and All! If you’re anything like Kerri Pomarolli, you’ve read Proverbs 31 and thought, “Who is this woman? And what kind of magic unicorn, Energizer Bunny juice does she have on IV?” And you thought social media standards were hard to live up to! As a sought-after comedian living in LA, Kerri knows about impossible standards. “I don’t plow, and I don’t rise early. When it says she gathers her food from afar, does that mean takeout…?” In Confessions of a Proverbs 32 Woman, Kerri fearlessly shares the messiness of her own life with wit and honesty. Join her as she delves into the struggles of the modern woman tired of trying and failing to live up to Pinterest-looking, air-brushed, and insta-filtered “real life” role models telling her she’s not quite good enough. And learn the two things you can hold onto for longer than your smartphone: genuine self-awareness and humble God-awareness. Kerri is a self-proclaimed hot mess for Jesus who has learned that God never said our lives would be mess-less, but He also never intended for us to wallow forever without a way through. When you’re at your most hopeless, God and His Word will meet you there, where you’ll find, as Kerri has, that this #hotmess4Jesus thing really can be the best possible life to live.
