More from Cheri

Have you ever wondered why, even as devoted followers of Jesus, your spiritual growth sometimes feels stalled? Why the abundant, fruit-filled life God promises can feel just out of reach? I’ve asked these questions of my own heart—and what I discovered in Scripture inspired me to write Increase Your Bloom Ability.

The Bible makes it clear: spiritual fruitfulness isn’t reserved for the gifted or the theologically trained—it’s for every believer (John 15:8). Yet many of us feel stuck, questioning whether we’re doing enough or if real growth is even possible. I dug into Scripture to uncover truths that can help unlock a life that truly bears fruit.

This devotional is the culmination of years of teaching, study, and personal reflection. I wanted to create something that equips you to experience more of God’s promises for your life. Inspired by Andrew Peterson’s words in Adorning the Dark, where he describes his ministry as “telling the truth as beautifully as he can,” I sought to do the same in this book.

I illustrated Increase Your Bloom Ability myself, filling it with over 200 pages of floral artwork—an offering of beauty alongside truth. My hope is that these pages will speak to your soul and draw you into a more vibrant, fruitful walk with Jesus.

My mission is simple: to help you experience a life of profound spiritual growth, one that blooms and flourishes as God intended. Through Scripture, reflection, and the visual beauty of this devotional, I pray you are encouraged, equipped, and inspired to embrace your calling and take intentional steps toward greater fruitfulness.

MY REVIEW

Beautifully illustrated and filled with so much encouragement this book is the perfect devotional for women. Sometimes we compare ourselves to others. How can I pray as well as her? I could never lead a Bible Study. Don’t believe those lies. God wants us all to bear fruit. God equips those He calls. He can use anyone and give you the tools you need to reach others.

I liked the different chapters and how they cover topics like “Grace Abounds in Every need, Drawn Near to God and Finding Freedom Through Abiding”, to name a few. The chapters include personal accounts, Biblical figures and practical tools to help you bloom. Each chapter gives you a prayer at the end as well as including scriptures to study.

This book will be one I will reread throughout the year for encouragement, peace, scriptures and growing in ministries I am involved in. Is there something God has put on your heart? Perhaps it is to teach children, or minister to hurting women. Wherever He calls you, know that you are not alone. God is surrounding each of us with wisdom.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
