Description

Stacey Sumereau had it all mapped out: Broadway stardom, cherished roles in The Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast, and a lifetime of dreams finally realized. Yet, despite the glittering accolades and the standing ovations, she felt an unexpected emptiness—a profound sense that something crucial was missing.

In Adventure Awaits, speaker, television personality, and host of the Called and Caffeinated podcast Stacey Sumereau takes readers on an eye-opening journey beyond the glitz and glamor of the stage. Through her candid reflections and personal stories, Stacey reveals how her deepest dreams, once thought to be the pinnacle of fulfillment and success, actually led her to a far richer discovery: a relationship with God.

Adventure Awaits is more than just a conversion story—it’s a guide to spiritual awakening. Stacey unpacks pivotal stages of her spiritual growth, offering insights on how to hear and listen to God’s voice amid life’s chaos. She reveals how God uses every experience, including anxieties and missteps, to teach us about trust, purpose, and ultimate fulfillment.

Whether you’re grappling with major life decisions like religious vocation or marriage or seeking direction in your everyday life, this book provides transformative tools for growth:

  • Letting God’s Work Break into Me: Learn how to connect with scripture in a way that resonates not only with your mind but also with your heart.
  • Onions and Worms: Explore how to peel back layers of desire to find true, lasting happiness.
  • Just Do It? Discover how God speaks through current opportunities and why God’s will isn’t a puzzle to solve but a relationship to pursue.
  • Discovering the True Version of Ourselves: Understand how God gives us the freedom to choose—so we can discover our true selves.
  • Seeing God in Your Story: Embrace the five S’s of the surrendered heart: surrender, study, support, silence, and schedule.
  • God Never Told Me What to Do: Recognize how God speaks to us in different ways at different times in our life and how this can be a sign of spiritual growth.

Each chapter is paired with journaling prompts, scripture reading strategies, and prayer exercises designed to help you move from anxiety and fear as you discern specific situations and discover how to surrender to the God who can be trusted with your future.

    Warm & Engaging book <3

    I truly loved this book—I finished it in just two days! It’s an inspiring story of where your Catholic faith has led you, and it touched me deeply. Your warm humor and engaging storytelling made it such an enjoyable and entertaining read, especially for nonfiction. I look forward to going back and reading it again so I can fully reflect on and use the journal prompts throughout the book.

    A fun and relatable read!

    I really enjoyed Adventure Awaits! It took me all of 2 days to finish it as Stacey’s voice is raw, humorous, and refreshingly practical. This book made hearing God feel less intimidating and more like a real, everyday adventure. It’s honest, uplifting, and full of relatable wisdom. Highly recommend!

    I wish I'd been able to read this book years ago!

    I've been a fan of Stacey's podcast for years now and was honored to endorse her book. It's a beautiful book, part memoir and part discernment guide, full of her wisdom and honesty. I wish I'd been able to read it when I was younger, but it's still worth a read for any age, no matter what you've learned about discernment already. Stacey has a beautiful voice that's clear throughout the book. I recommend it especially for young adults facing major life and career decisions but also for anyone who has challenges with discernment (and isn't that all of us?).

    Perfect book on discernment in the modern era

    Stacey paints such a beautiful example of what surrender should look like, while also acknowledging the struggle that comes with recognizing the desires of our hearts. Her ability to capture her reader would sit well especially with young adults. In an era where people are constantly seeking fame and attention, Stacey gives us a sneak peak into the realities of the "broadway lights" as she journey's from New York City, to her vocation as wife and mother. This is a must read for anybody seeking to understand their desires better, and growing closer to Our Lord.

    Heartfelt Discernment Story and Guide

    What a great testimony and guide to increase your faith life!

    This book was such a quick and easy read with so many though provoking points and prompts for personal growth and contemplation.

    I would definitely recommend this book for anyone. It would be a great gift for all of your sisters (or brothers) in Christ.

    Stacey 'shares her heart' and shows the great impact that true discernment can have on your life.

    Best Book on Discernment

    I would highly recommend this book for any Christian struggling to discern what path to take in life - be it a vocation, a job or other situation. It is an easy read and Stacey is SO relatable in all of her honest struggles, questions and detours along the way! She ends each chapter with journal questions that are super helpful with the discernment process. My favorite part was her talk about searching for "signs" from God to validate where we think we should go. And it was incredibly helpful to learn what the key is to actually discerning our path and KNOWING it is the way we should go - you have to read it to find out! :-) I will be re-reading this one a few times as a continual reminder for sure!
