Kimberly Stone

Kimberly Stone is a faith-based author, wife, devoted mother of two, a proud grandmother of five, and an animal lover (dog mom), whose life reflects the power of transformation through a relationship with God. Her journey—shaped by faith, resilience, come-back power, and personal growth—has led her to a deeper understanding of God's purpose and predestined calling for her life, leading her on a path to share with others the same truth that continues to set her free.

"When she sees someone living below their potential, it empowers her to reach hers and pull them up."

Known for her selfless spirit and her gift to uplift others, Kimberly writes with authenticity and inspiration, encouraging women to see beyond their self-limitations and fears, to trust God's plan, and to create the life they dream of. She believes that one ordinary girl plus one extraordinary God is majority—and all things are possible to those who choose to believe.

Arise to New Life — book cover

ARISE TO NEW LIFE

Who knows—maybe you were made queen for such a time as this.

Within the pages of this memoir, Kimberly represents a modern-day Queen Esther who has chosen to arise and meet her destiny against all odds.

Through her personal stories and experiences, she shares what behind the scenes actually looks like—to walk by faith and not by sight.

Kimberly's heart's desire is to ignite and resurrect dreams and visions within women of faith that have been laying dormant because of fear and lack of belief in themselves. Arise to New Life is an awakening to the truth that there is more for you, and the time is now. If you have ever felt that you are not qualified or equipped to pursue your dreams and visions, after reading this book you will believe again—for the first time—that it's possible for you.

By faith, prepare to step into a life of divine purpose and passion through your personal relationship with Jesus, predestined and prepared just for you, before you were even born.

In this adventure of a lifetime, for a lifetime, get ready to position in your grace through willingness, obedience, and courage.

Wow—this book is absolutely beautiful. It feels like the beginning of a powerful journey, one Kimberly invites you into as she shares what it looks like to see life through new eyes—where the skies are bluer and the grass truly is greener after Jesus opens your spiritual eyes. Her story is so moving, yet told in such an engaging, adventurous, and even joyful way. I found myself relating to so many moments, and I know others will too. This is the kind of book you don't just read once—you treasure it, return to it, and share with others.

Kimberly's Arise to New Life is more than just a book—it's a heartfelt invitation to step into the life God has already prepared for you. I still remember when I first met her in the very early stages of her walk with the Lord—there was something about her that stood out. Now, nearly twenty years later, I'm sitting here reading chapters of that very story, and I'm truly astonished. God is so faithful. This book will encourage your heart, strengthen your faith, and inspire you to believe that there is more waiting for you.

Her walk with God has transformed her life and continues to impact everyone around her. She is living proof that through faith in God, you can keep climbing, keep rising, and step into something greater. She is the most selfless person I know, lifting others up without even trying—like the brightest ray of sunshine. I know this book will inspire so many.
