About the Author

Serenity K. Kashuba

Serenity K. Kashuba is an author, songwriter, poet and artist who gently points weary hearts toward Jesus. Through words, music and visual art, she explores His love, mercy and wisdom, and what it means to live with a heart shaped by grace.

Much of Serenity’s inspiration comes from the way Jesus met people with compassion, welcomed the overlooked and made room for honest questions. His beautiful ways are the thread that runs through everything she creates.

Her work is an invitation for daughters, mothers and friends to draw closer to Him, receive His love and carry that love gently into their homes, relationships and everyday lives.
