"Freely and Lightly blends a palette of depth, beauty, simplicity, real life, and rich truths to create an artful and compelling invitation to truly rest and enjoy refreshment for your soul."
-Marilyn Vancil,author of Self to Lose, Self to Find: Using the Enneagram to Uncover Your True, God-Gifted Self "We don't deserve Freely and Lightly, but we so desperately need this quiet masterpiece. In a time when life can be loud and abrasive, I'm so very grateful for Emily's gentle, lovely, and profound words."
-Knox McCoy, author of All Things Reconsidered "I wholeheartedly believe this: The more you believe God, the more confident you will become. Emily's relatable words and gentle encouragement to let go of self-reliance and to trust who God is and who he made us to be is exactly what women of all ages need to hear."
-Alli Worthington, author of Standing Strong, business coach, and cofounder of Called Creatives "In a culture conditioned to turn toward the loudest voice in the room, Emily Lex shows us the spiritual heft of a gentle soul. Freely and Lightly is an invitation to lay down our burdens, trading the trendy, self-comfort sort of rest for a deep gulp of living water. This book is fresh air and freedom."
-Shannan Martin, author of The Ministry of Ordinary Places and Falling Free "When I celebrated a huge milestone in my life several years ago, Emily Lex sent me a small watercolor of flowers she painted to say congratulations. Every time I look at that small framed painting on my desk, I feel seen and loved. Now we all get an entire book of paintings from Emily! I hope this book will do for you what that painting did for me. With simple beauty and deep faith, Freely and Lightly is the book we need when we feel overwhelmed, overlooked, and undone. I'm so grateful to Emily for this kind work of art."
-Emily P. Freeman, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Next Right Thing "This is my new favorite book to gift! Emily's watercolor art and hopeful insights offer grace and peace to all who read FreelyandLightly. You are going to love this little book."
-Jessica N. Turner, bestselling author of The Fringe Hours and Stretched Too Thin "Freely and Lightly is the friend who understands your weary soul, holds your hand, and walks you back toward the truth that brings true rest. Through vulnerable storytelling and exquisite artistry, Emily invites us to remember what it feels like to twirl-to be who we already are and to know the delight of our Father. Join me in reading and gifting this book again and again."
-Nicole Zasowski, marriage and family therapist and author of From Lost to Found "This book is sheer truth, goodness, and beauty-the hallmark trifecta of great art. The words and watercolors Emily has graced us with in these pages call to mind a deeper, more necessary truth than we normally see in the cacophony of life-that Christ reveals himself in the daily delights."
