About the Book
Are you looking for a new way of living? A way that stops anxious thoughts and releases heavy burdens you are not meant to carry? Join bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons as she invites you to learn the art of pausing in God's rest to live free and unhurried, to walk in the way of the wildflower.Book Synopsis
Discover how to live freely and release your burdens with gospel meditations that turn your focus to the God who cares deeply for you.
Are you looking for a new way of living? A way to stop anxious thoughts and release heavy burdens you aren't meant to carry?
In The Way of the Wildflower, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons invites you to draw inspiration for your weary soul from the flowers of the field through thirty gospel focused meditations covering five ways of the wildflower: Dependency, Freedom, Resilience, Unhurriedness, and Belovedness.
This gorgeous, full-color devotional features Ruth's signature art and stunning hand-painted botanicals, alongside:
- Bible verses to meditate on
- Practical applications of God's Word
- Key truths to preach to yourself when you feel burdened
- Prayers to help you practice the way of the wildflower
- Wildflower facts and the lessons we can learn from them
If you're wrestling with your past, struggling in your present, or fearful for your future, pause and be still. Consider how the wildflowers grow, remember that the God who cares for them cares for you, too, and let your anxious soul find rest in Him.
"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you--you of little faith!" -- Luke 12:25-28 (NIV)

This is another amazing book by Ruth Chou Simons. She presents such clear truth, but also such practical, down to earth wisdom on how to navigate life in this world. I love the spiritual lessons we can learn from observing the wildflowers. We know that God does speak to us through his Creation(Rom 1 and in the Psalms). The lessons that she parallels with each flower were very encouraging to my soul. God cares about me just like he cares about the wildflowers. Thank you, Ruth!

Beautiful Devotional Book
I really enjoyed this book. Each chapter is a 5-10min devotional that focuses on different spiritual themes. Each chapter tackles a different topic. Examples are “When you feel Misunderstood”, “When you need someone to care”. Each chapter is linked to a different type of wildflower and characteristics of the wildflower that resemble the chapters topic. What sets the book apart is not only the devotional but the beautiful artwork. It’s lovely. The book as a whole helped remind me how deeply loved I am by God!

Living a life unburdened is possible.
The Way of the Wildflower is a beautifully written, beautifully illustrated masterpiece. It will guide you in gospel meditation. This book is not about flowers, it is about living the way of the wildflowers. Unburdened of anxious thoughts, living in the promise we are never alone or forgotten. Use this wonderful manuscript to draw you into scripture to find the peace waiting for you; the kind of peace you can only attain through Christ.

A Beautiful and Insightful Treasure!
What a treasure this book is! "The Way of the Wildflower" is filled with Ruth's stunning artwork. The book cover presents as a special edition, though it is not. The meditations are divided into 5 segments with 6 devotions under each. The insights from Scripture that Ruth shares are very applicable to every stage of a woman's life. Each devotional draws on Ruth's personal and Biblical knowledge and then expertly ties in a specific wildflower that has unique qualities to fit the specific devotional topic. This was one of my favorite parts! It was incredible to see evidence of God's biblical truths and character expertly displayed through His creation of beautiful flowers in our everyday world. How great God is! I have no doubt Ruth's newest devotional book will encourage your eyes and your heart, and you will never see a wildflower the same again!

This devotional is absolutely beautiful! It is filled with stunning artwork that has an antique, botanical field book aesthetic, where each flower is prescribed with a reminder of God's promises. Each page has brought me so much peace, as I am reminded of how much God loves me and wants to take care of me. Whether you're currently going through a difficult season, just need some reminders of how much you are loved, or the simple fact that you love flowers and herbalism, this is a great book to add to your collection! I am so grateful to Ruth Chou Simons for bringing us this book with honest insights for navigating an imperfect world with an unconditionally loving God as our guide.

Amazing Book and Beautiful Illustrations
This book is amazing! For the last five weeks, I’ve been reading the daily meditation every morning with my coffee, and it’s become my favorite part of the day. Each one brings such peace and helps me stay grounded in God’s Word. Ruth really gets what we go through and uses Scripture to show how to handle life’s ups and downs. Plus, the wildflower illustrations are just beautiful — such a sweet reminder of God’s care and provision. Highly recommend!

A beautiful invitation to practice truth in our day to day lives.
When teaching on anxiety, Jesus invites us, in Luke 12:27,28, to "Consider the wildflowers...". Through her beautiful paintings and profound reflections, Ruth brings us along as she accepts this invitation to regard the "Way of the Wildflower," and what these humble flowers can teach us about the loveliness of complete dependence on God. Ruth writes with a tender vulnerability that reminds us that we're not alone in this very imperfect journey of learning to trust God more each day. These short, easy-to-read meditations are filled with the depth and wisdom of a woman who walks closely with Jesus and whose heart is to use her gifting to bring other women into his presence. Every page of this book is full of beauty and truth, drawing our anxious hearts closer to Jesus and into the way of the wildflowers that live: “dependent”, “free”, “resilient”, “unhurried”, and “beloved”. I have always stopped to admire wildflowers, and now, thanks to this lovely offering, I’ll never look at them the same way again.

Ruth’s book is so lovely and filled with topics that resonate with me. She shares scriptures and thoughts on so many things I struggle with.

Beautiful and Applicable
Oh my! What a beautiful and meaningful book!!! I loved this book so much! Not only does it have gorgeous pictures but the Gospel meditations were just what I needed! The two most impactful for me were "When you don't know what do to next" and "When you feel overwhelmed". The week I read these we were given some pretty devastating news and these meditations/devotions were so encouraging!! They pointed me to God and His Word! On a side note, I learned a lot about wildflowers!

Beauty and Truth
Ruth does it again! Looking for a devotional gift? This is it. What beautiful, inspiring and encouraging words to lift your eyes and heart to Jesus. The beauty of her artwork and the truth of God's Word will encourage you every day. What a fun way to create a devotional book - a look at individual wildflowers. Each day includes some information about a unique wildflower and a little bit about the flower. I give this my highest review of 5 stars. I will be buying several copies for gifts. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
