Summary

Stacey Sumereau had it all mapped out: Broadway stardom, cherished roles in The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast, and a lifetime of dreams finally realized. Yet, despite the glittering accolades and the standing ovations, she felt an unexpected emptiness—a profound sense that something crucial was missing.  In Adventure Awaits, speaker, television personality, and host of the Called and Caffeinated podcast Stacey Sumereau takes readers on an eye-opening journey beyond the glitz and glamor of the stage. Through her candid reflections and personal stories, Stacey reveals how her deepest dreams, once thought to be the pinnacle of fulfillment and success, actually led her to a far richer discovery: a relationship with God. Adventure Awaits is more than just a conversion story—it’s a guide to spiritual awakening. Stacey unpacks pivotal stages of her spiritual growth, offering insights on how to hear and listen to God’s voice amid life’s chaos. She reveals how God uses every experience, including anxieties and missteps, to teach us about trust, purpose, and ultimate fulfillment.  Whether you’re grappling with major life decisions like religious vocation or marriage or seeking direction in your everyday life, this book provides transformative tools for growth: Letting God’s Work Break into Me: Learn how to connect with scripture in a way that resonates not only with your mind but also with your heart. Onions and Worms: Explore how to peel back layers of desire to find true, lasting happiness. Just Do It? Discover how God speaks through current opportunities and why God’s will isn’t a puzzle to solve but a relationship to pursue. Discovering the True Version of Ourselves: Understand how God gives us the freedom to choose—so we can discover our true selves. Seeing God in Your Story: Embrace the five S’s of the surrendered heart: surrender, study, support, silence, and schedule. God Never Told Me What to Do: Recognize how God speaks to us in different ways at different times in our life and how this can be a sign of spiritual growth.     Each chapter is paired with journaling prompts, scripture reading strategies, and prayer exercises designed to help you move from anxiety and fear as you discern specific situations and discover how to surrender to the God who can be trusted with your future.

    Ryan Eames is a policewoman and single mother dedicated most of all to her lonely, uniquely gifted son. Stretched thin by double shifts and grappling with an out-of-season coastal wildfire, Christmas cheer feels as far away as a distant carol on a winter night. Until duty draws her into the life of a stranger. 
     
    Ethan Lange is alive because Ryan reached his canyon home before the blaze.  
     
    Christmas is weeks away, and Ethan has lost everything. A man reckoning with a painful past, it’s not the first time he’s been forced to start over. At least now it’s in the redeeming embrace of Miramar Bay. 
     
    Forging an animal rescue operation, Ryan and Ethan first unite by their cause and the rally of a close-knit community. But it’s Ryan’s extraordinary child who draws them into something deeper and surprising. Something to be thankful for. Now  
    with every beat of their hearts, Christmas in Miramar Bay looks to be a season of love, healing, and sweet mercies that will be remembered for a lifetime.
