The Struggle of The Butterfly: A Journey from Brokenness to Freedom Hardcover – August 30, 2025

A poignant, honest consideration of how easy it is to fall into “religious” habits and substitute fulfillment even while serving God with all our heart, The Struggle of The Butterfly boldly and without apology destroys the myth that we have to be perfect – even if that means being fake. This book is Monica’s clarion call to those who are hungry to know God in a new way and are willing to press past any and everything that will hinder the journey.“If my journey can help someone else, I gladly and humbly share it. So many times we hide who we really are and the battles we’ve had to literally fight – literally and spiritually – because we’re ashamed or unsure about how others will feel about us once they see inside. But I’ve learned that kind of thinking, that kind of fear really also denies us the chance to testify about the goodness of God.
