Lauren Gaskill

Encouraging women to live in faith and joy


About The Book

How do we live with less fear and more faith
when the deep waters of life come crashing over us?

Following Jesus doesn’t guarantee sunny skies and smooth sailing. In fact, the waters of life are often tumultuous, crashing over us. Sometimes we can feel that we’re drowning in a sea of confusion, division, frustration, complacency, or disillusionment. We need more than a shallow faith to survive these deep waters.

Into the Deep is an invitation to dive headfirst into a life of courageous faith. With endearing warmth and authenticity, Lauren Gaskill shares how she and others have learned to swim with Jesus in the deep waters of life—facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and chronic illness—only to discover a more authentic, enduring faith that cannot be shaken by circumstances. Lauren invites us to discover how to:

• Trade doubt and fear for courage and boldness.
• Dive deeper into faith and build endurance for the journey.
• Make decisions by faith.
• Overcome battles with specific strategies and practices.
• Live a life rooted in faith and love.

You can leave fear behind and step into faith.

Lauren Gaskill's Into the Deep is a biblically-shaped life-preserver for anyone who feels like they are flopping around in the scary deep waters of life. When I got to the last page, so many lines still lingered in my mind. I've watched Lauren swim hard to strong faith through difficult medical problems as well as the raging waves of anxiety and depression. She's a determined Jesus-girl who's seen God's transformative power in the deep moments and invites you to experience God's life-saving transformative power as well.
