The Porch God Promised
by Marti Schutte
A story of betrayal, heartbreak, and the slow, sacred work of rebuilding. Marti Schutte writes with the honesty of someone who has sat in the wreckage and chosen, again and again, to believe that God keeps His promises — even the ones that look nothing like you imagined.
This is not a tidy redemption story. It is a real one — full of grief, grace, grit, and the kind of faith that only grows in the dark.
Available in Paperback & Kindle
What This Book Is About
When Marti Schutte's marriage fell apart, she found herself standing in the rubble of a life she had built with her whole heart. As a wife, mother, PE teacher, coach, and woman of faith, she had always been the one holding everyone else together. Now she had to learn how to hold herself.
The Porch God Promised is the story of what came next — the grief that doesn't follow a timeline, the faith that gets tested in the middle of the night, the body that has to be reclaimed one workout at a time, and the family that slowly, imperfectly, finds its footing again.
It is also a love story — not a romantic one, but the deeper kind. The story of a woman learning to trust that God's promises are real, even when the porch He promised looks nothing like the one she had in mind.
