Who This Book Is For

This Book Was Written for You

If you have ever been in a season so hard that you were not sure how much more you could carry — and something small and unexpected showed up and made it survivable —

this book was written for you.

Not for the person who has it all together.
For the one who is getting through the days
one at a time
and finding grace in the most unexpected places.

This book is for the dialysis patient.
For the caregiver.
For the person navigating chronic illness
who has lost things they did not expect to lose.
For the lonely person.
For anyone who has ever been faithfully loved
by something that could not say a single word about it —
and knew exactly what that love meant anyway.

And for anyone who needs to be reminded
that God's provision does not always look
the way you expected.

Sometimes it weighs twenty pounds.
Sometimes it snores.
And sometimes it is exactly what you needed
before you knew you needed it.

Inside the Book

What You Will Walk Away With

20 Pounds of Grace is eleven chapters plus a bonus chapter — each one built around something Naja, a French Bulldog, taught Pastor Nicole Washington during one of the hardest seasons of her life.

Not theological theory.
Lived, daily, unglamorous, grace-filled truth
drawn from a dialysis schedule,
a broken shoulder,
a steel rod in her arm,
and a twenty-pound dog who never once
asked what was wrong with her
before deciding to love her.

Each chapter includes a life lesson that applies directly to your own season — however hard it is, however long it has been, however unexpected the grace that is keeping you going.

What faithful presence actually looks like.

Why joy in the middle of difficulty is not denial — it is defiance.

How trust moves forward without a complete explanation.

Why God's provision is always specific — even when it is unexpected.

And why the thing that is keeping you going right now is not an accident.

"Naja wasn't just a dog.
She was God's gentle reminder
that I was never alone."
