Registered dietitian, sports nutrition specialist, and founder of 'Purposeful Fueling,' Beth McCall has announced the release of her debut book, 'Hello Peace,' aimed at helping women replace fear, comparison, and shame with lasting peace found in Christ. Published by Lucid Books, the book combines McCall's personal story with biblical truth, reflection, and guided journaling prompts to guide readers toward an identity rooted not in appearance or performance, but in God's unchanging love.
In a culture that often pressures women to meet impossible standards, 'Hello Peace' offers a refreshing invitation to abandon the exhausting pursuit of perfection and experience freedom in Christ. McCall draws from her own journey through an eating disorder, pregnancy, and motherhood, speaking with vulnerability to women who have struggled with body image or identity.
"I've always felt closest to Scripture and to Jesus through journaling," McCall said. "This book was born during a season of deep prayer while I was pregnant with my son. I was wrestling with fear, identity, and old wounds, and I sensed the Lord gently leading me to take what He was teaching me in private and turn it into something that could encourage other women."
'Hello Peace' serves as more than a memoir; it is an interactive spiritual companion. Readers are invited to reflect on their own stories through journaling prompts and Scripture-based application. McCall's transparent storytelling creates space for women to process their experiences while discovering that true peace comes not from self-change but from allowing God to transform their hearts.
"This book doesn't simply tell my story," McCall explained. "It invites readers into their own. My hope is that every woman who opens these pages walks away knowing she is not alone, that she is deeply loved by God, and that He is not calling her back to who she used to be. He's calling her forward into who she is becoming."
As a registered dietitian and sports nutrition specialist with over a decade of experience working with high school, collegiate, and professional athletes, McCall has focused on physical wellness. Yet she believes lasting health extends beyond nutrition and fitness. "Our culture spends so much time teaching women how to change their bodies," she said. "God wants to transform our hearts. Real freedom comes when our identity is anchored in Christ instead of our reflection in the mirror."
McCall credits her faith, along with support from her husband and family, for inspiring both her writing and ministry. While writing the book, she learned that vulnerability is an act of obedience. "One of the greatest challenges was having the courage to share the parts of my story that are still tender," she said. "But I've learned that God often uses the places where we've experienced healing to help bring healing to others."
For aspiring authors, McCall offers simple advice: "Just begin. I never started journaling because I planned to write a book. I simply had something on my heart and followed where God was leading. If you feel even the slightest nudge to write, take that first step and stay open to what God might do with your story."
'Hello Peace' is now available for women navigating pregnancy, motherhood, body image struggles, or a search for deeper identity in Christ, reminding them that peace is found not by striving but by surrendering to the One who created them.
