Hello and thank you so much for being here!
As a writer and speaker, I have always had a huge heart for women. But now, my prayer is to help as many women as possible—grow in their faith, grow in their personal lives, and discover their true purpose. I would also love for you to join me on this mission by selecting The Woman God Created You to Be for your Women’s Ministry, Small Group, or Book Club or by hosting a Virtual or In-Person Event. To learn more, please see the Join the Movement section at the bottom of this page. In the meantime, thank you again for being here, and may God continue blessing you and your family, always.

As Seen On and Featured In:
Become the Woman God Created You to Be
THE MAIN BOOK
Are you the real woman God created you to be?
Have you wanted to become here—spiritually, personally, and professionally?
Kimberla Lawson Roby admits that for years, she wasn’t being the real woman God created her to be. Yes, she has always loved God and tried her best to honor Him, but what she eventually discovered was that building and maintaining her own personal relationship with God—and making Him her top priority—was the key to finding joy in all areas of her life.
Now, in The Woman God Created You to Be, Kimberla has bravely—and transparently—written about her flaws, fears, and failures, as well as her faith, courage, and successes. From experiencing divorce to marrying her soulmate of twenty-nine years…from hopelessly searching for the perfect job to becoming a New York Times bestselling author…from suffering in silence with anxiety to concentrating on self-care…from struggling with the loss of her mom to finding strength, comfort, peace. and understanding—Kimberla takes you on a journey that will help you do the following:
● Become the Best Spiritual You (Seven Days Per Week)
● Become the Best Personal You (Mentally, Emotionally, and Physically)
● Become the Best Professional You (Without Jeopardizing Your Faith)
Kimberla reminds us that when we trust and depend on God—heart, mind, and soul—He will empower us to do more than we ever thought imaginable. He will help us see that we are more than enough, and that He has already given us everything we need to become the women He created us to be—spiritually, personally, professionally…and beyond.
THE COMPANION WORKBOOK &
DISCUSSION GUIDE
In this Companion Workbook & Discussion Guide, Kimberla has created an inspiring resource that will help you become your best spiritual you, personal you, and professional you. By deeply reflecting on each question, answering them, and meditating on corresponding scripture, you will feel much more empowered and better equipped to live your life in the wonderful way God intended. You will feel a strong desire to do and say only what pleases God…and what will allow Him to receive all the glory in the end.
Most important, your faith walk, personal growth, and God-given purpose will become a daily priority, and you’ll happily discover that becoming the woman God created you to be is not a destination. You’ll come to realize that it is a beautiful, lifelong journey—and one that Kimberla is beyond grateful to have you join her on.
