Mercy in the Margin

Chelsey’s most recent release with B&H Publishing.

In 52 devotions, author and mama Chelsey DeMatteis invites you to embrace the fringes of motherhood as sacred spaces where God’s mercy meets you in the most unlikely places—even the places and moments you thought didn’t count. These moments—often disguised as disruptions, inconveniences, or mundane routines—are unexpected invitations to encounter Jesus in the small margins of motherhood. 

Whether you’re navigating mealtimes, mistakes, midnight prayers, or moments when you wish there were more of you to go around, Jesus is there, wanting you to look to Him and receive the grace you need exactly when you need it. It is proven true that in His presence, mothers can experience the gifts tucked inside the mysteries of motherhood. The margin is there, the mercies are new, and with Jesus, He can change our hearts and homes—forever.

Thrill of Hope | Advent Devotional

A Thrill of Hope is an invitation to spend the Advent season reflecting on the gift we received when Jesus was born. His life and light came to change our lives forever. Without Jesus’ birth, true everlasting peace wouldn’t have been possible and our hope wouldn’t have been secured. The life of Jesus in the flesh made a way for us to live with the hope of all that is to come while journeying through the joys and trenches of our life on this side of heaven. 

In the pages of this devotional you'll find personal stories, scripture teachings, prayer prompts, and journal space used to draw your heart closer to Christ. May this Advent season be one where you seek the hope we have because of Christ’s coming and what a gift it is to be in a relationship with Him.

52-week Devotional

More of Him, Less of Me: Living a Christ-Centered Life in a Me-Centered World

This refreshing 52-week devotional was prayerfully written with Biblical truths and concepts that will help challenge, change, and shape the way you think of living a life more focused on Christ in a me-centered world. The challenges in these weekly devotions are thought-provoking, as they point you to the cross and away from the trap of our self-centered culture. You'll encounter a shift in the way you see the world and how God sees you. Your lens will go from a "me" perspective to a Kingdom perspective. Your heart will be shaped by the truth from God's word and the overflow will cause others to lean in, listen, and desire a life of more Jesus!

What readers are saying…

  • “ Wow, this weekly devotional book is a must-read for anyone frustrated with the self-centered culture of today’s world. Such renewed hope & purpose when we learn to view the world & self from God’s Kingdom perspective. ”

    Megan

  • “ This devotional challenges social norms, but in a God-honoring way. At the root of us all, we are self-centered and selfish. While in the short term, this may seem like the best way to live, Chelsey guides us to a better way—a Christ-centered approach that affects us now and into eternity. I’m so thankful for Chelsey’s willingness to speak the truth with wisdom and vulnerability. Your life won’t be the same after reading this devotional and that’s a good thing! ”

    Rachael A.

  • “ This book feels like a much-needed conversation with a close friend. Chelsey dives into personal experiences that are shared by many of us and offers scripture to help us see how God uses everything to bring us to where he wants us… but she reminds us that we must be willing participants. The way she ends each devotion with a prayer and a place to journal is so helpful to encourage us to take the next step. Wonderful! ”

    Pam T.

    Diane B.

  • ” More of Him, Less of Me beautifully and boldly lays out biblical truths that we may know, but that we need to be reminded of daily. A must-read if you desire a more Christ-centered focus for your life. “
