Feeling a Bit Lost These Days? Here's Your Map Home

You want a life of purpose and meaning, but if there's a map to get you there, you haven't been able to find it.

Until now.

Your treasure map is closer than you think, and Jami Nato tucked it inside this book. Your journey begins by looking at your past, and then following the breadcrumbs that God has left for you every step of the way.

Jami found her breadcrumbs in the rubble after her marriage fell apart. Downgraded from perfect Christian wife and mother to hot mess, she finally let go of what the world (and the church) said she should be and let God reforge her into a thriving, joyful woman living on purpose.

Moving seamlessly between the hilarious and the heartbreaking, Jami asks hard questions and shares what God has taught her through her own story—so you can step fully into yours. And while you shouldn't trust her with your laundry or houseplants, you can trust her to help you discover the unique calling God has for your life.

Joy in the Journey

Highly recommend-especially for those of us who have questioned if who we are is okay because it is different than others. Much of what she has learned and experienced is very similar to my life and I connected with the need to let God teach me along the journey. There is a wholeness that we can live by allowing ourselves to see who we are designed to be-nothing is accidental or lost when we view life as a series of opportunities to learn who God is and His beautiful plans for us. Like cherished jewels in a dusty glass case in the back of an old shop, God wants us to clear off, polish up, and shine with a comfortable ease in His design. Women! We are treasures! Thank you for your voice, Jami. ❤️

Refreshing and purposeful

Jami has a gift for putting her own story into engaging words and then making you feel like your story has purpose and meaning too. Well done! A must read for everyone young and old and in between.

Authentic and funny

I loved the questions at make you think at the end if each chapter. You wrote it not only to tell your story, but to help other women tell theirs.

This Must Be the Book

I listened to Jami’s heartwarming and inspiring book while weeding in my garden each morning for the past 3 days. I’m sure if any neighbors were watching they would have thought I was having a nervous breakdown as I alternated between laughter and tears! I’ve followed Jami since her blogging days in 2011 and I was just so moved by the breadcrumbs of wisdom she has gained along her journey and shared with us in this tender inspirational nonfiction.

This afternoon I sat down and listened to the last minute of each chapter and transcribed her thought provoking questions. Tonight I will journal and try to be unabashedly honest about the dreams that have laid dormant through these years of all-consuming motherhood and try to awaken the spark within me! Thank you, Jami, for the permission slip. 💗

“Christian culture ecosystem” authentic guts and grit

Narrated by the author: “Christian culture ecosystem” authentic guts and grit, the comedy/tragedy drama and triumph of Jami Nato. Unvarnished honesty with provoking questions to inspire others.

A true gem of self discovery!

I was moved to tears and laughter in almost every chapter. This was the exact momentum I needed at the exact time. A breadcrumb on my journey…a God wink written by a faithful woman whom I am so grateful for. Thanks Jami!

Learning from Jami how to follow my breadcrumbs toward my giftings and subsequently heal through Jesus!

I have known Jami through social media for years (and actually got to meet her face-to-face in real life once, though she may not remember… ). I have heard her testimony many times, but the thing that gets me is that every I hear it, I learn something new and can apply it differently but directly to my life. This book was no exception! Her testimony is just the tip of the iceberg… Her hilariously relatable storytelling ability is a true gifting… her church hurt is real, but her message of hope and growth is too!!!

The season I am coming out of, gave me new ears to hear… To understand her differently, and therefore myself… my own church hurt… AND OUR GLORIOUS CREATOR!!! In reflecting on the breadcrumbs of my past, leading to my present, I’m able to get back to what I dreamed up as a child and now dream about for the future and how that was meant to serve His Kingdom all along (although blissfully unaware for most of my life).

I am inspired to serve in my giftings after reading this book, that feels like one of those talks you have with a dear friend where you can be totally transparent and seen over coffee in your living room, with a giant pile of laundry, and grimy pans in the sink…and (bread)crumbs all over the floor…truly without judgement, but what’s more, actually with celebration!!! Of how He’ll use them!!! I don’t know how yet… but what I do know is: I’m doing it scared because…

THIS MUST BE THE PLACE!!!

Like talking to a friend

A beautiful collection of stories that draw you in from the opening words. The topics make you think, and laugh, and sometime cry. It’s as though you’re reminiscing with an old friend.

Your Life Needs These Words

If you don’t yet have the pleasure of being familiar with Jami Nato, you’re missing out. Her special witty humor is refreshing. In a world that lacks substance her worlds are more than breadcrumbs of life-giving sustenance in the form of wisdom. Her story is one of counter cultural forgiveness and redemption. Do not short-change yourself by simply reading the book, the audio version of Jami telling her own story is priceless. This was exactly the book I needed at exactly the right time. Thank you for being vulnerable to the world by sharing your innermost moments. Your effort wasn’t waisted.

Finding purpose and noticing God’s intentional love with us

Thank you Jami for reading your book! Loved listening! I love the way Jami views and notices God, and how intentional He is with every little thing in our lives. Such a good reminder to live with purpose.
