Steadfast
by Mandibre Watson
In a world that constantly tells us to hurry, Steadfast is an invitation to slow down. Part retreat guide, part personal reflection, and part creative devotional experience, this book was created to help women encounter God in a meaningful and personal way—whether alone, with close friends, or within a retreat setting. Through honest stories, prayerful reflections, Scripture, artistic response, and Spirit-led encounters, each chapter creates space to pause, listen, heal, and draw closer to the heart of Jesus.
Inspired by the beauty of Catholic prayer and tradition, yet welcoming to all Christian women, Steadfast is more than a book to read. It is an experience to enter.

“I haven’t been on a retreat in over 5 years (4 littles at home) the “mini” retreat was perfect, and I also loved the theme!”
“I found a thirst for Christ I didn’t know was there!”
“I loved the opportunity to listen to the reflections and journal afterward. Loved the art activity- something to take home with me.”
