Beneath the Crust

Written by: Stacy Renee

Bestseller Watch: Stacy Renee Follows Up Her Breakout Success with Beneath the Crust
A soul-stirring blend of sacred rhythms, spiritual identity, and sourdough

After selling over 20,000 copies of her beloved Rooted Prayer Journal and becoming a trusted voice in the world of faith-based encouragement, Stacy Renee returns with her most intimate and inspired work yet:
Beneath the Crust: Uncovering the Holy Invitation to Create, Nourish, and Abide.

More than a book, Beneath the Crust is a sacred rhythm—an invitation into a slower, deeper life. Blending the rich metaphor of sourdough with biblical truths and real-life reflections, Stacy leads readers through four transformative movements:

  1. Awakening the Starter: Spiritual Beginnings

  2. Feeding the Faith: Daily Nourishment

  3. Shaping the Story: Spiritual Identity

  4. The Bake: Living Out the Calling

Each section is layered with powerful devotionals, journal-style reflections, Scripture, and one carefully chosen sourdough recipe that reinforces the spiritual themes explored. With the warmth of a friend and the wisdom of a seasoned guide, Stacy uncovers how even the quiet work happening “beneath the crust” is holy.

Rooted in her signature style of truth-filled encouragement, Stacy brings Scripture to life in unexpected ways—like the long proof of spiritual transformation, or the folding tension that gives us structure. Through brokenness, waiting, stretching, and eventual rise, Beneath the Crust reveals the sacred story God is shaping in each of us.

This follow-up to her bestselling journal is perfect for:

  • Women longing for depth and renewal in their spiritual lives

  • Creatives, homesteaders, and bakers seeking the sacred in the everyday

  • Readers of Every Moment Holy, The Lifegiving Home, and Bread & Wine

  • Anyone hungry to slow down and learn to abide again

Part devotional, part spiritual memoir, part sourdough guide—this is more than just another book on bread. It’s a holy invitation to co-labor with the Creator, nourish your soul daily, and rise with intention.
