Winner of the 2024 ECPA Book of the Year

New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal bestseller!

An incredibly thoughtful, disarmingly funny, and intensely vulnerable glimpse into the life and ministry of a woman familiar to many but known by few.

“It’s a peculiar thing, this having lived long enough to take a good look back. We go from knowing each other better than we know ourselves to barely sure if we know each other at all, to precisely sure that we don’t. All my knotted-up life I’ve longed for the sanity and simplicity of knowing who’s good and who’s bad. I’ve wanted to know this about myself as much as anyone. This was not theological. It was strictly relational. God could do what he wanted with eternity. I was just trying to make it here in the meantime. As benevolent as he has been in a myriad of ways, God has remained aloof on this uncomplicated request.” – Beth Moore

New York Times best-selling author, speaker, visionary, and founder of Living Proof Ministries Beth Moore has devoted her whole life to helping women across the globe come to know the transforming power of Jesus. An established writer of many acclaimed books and Bible studies for women on spiritual growth and personal development, Beth now unveils her own story in a much-anticipated debut memoir.

All My Knotted-Up Life includes:
  • 8 pages of photos
  • An exploration of Beth’s childhood, love, marriage, and motherhood
  • Insights on what it was like when she was “waist-deep in a season of loss”
  • A discussion of her 2018 break with the Southern Baptist movement
  • Details on the origins of Living Proof Ministries
All My Knotted-Up Life is told with surprising candor about some of the personal heartbreaks and behind-the-scenes challenges that have marked Beth’s life. But beyond that, it’s a beautifully crafted portrait of resilience and survival, a poignant reminder of God’s enduring faithfulness, and proof positive that if we ever truly took the time to hear people’s full stories . . . we’d all walk around slack-jawed.

Review

In this illuminating memoir, Living Proof Ministries founder Moore (Chasing Vines) plumbs the spiritual and personal depths of her life. Born the fourth of five children, Moore grew up in the “bowels of Arkansas,” idolizing her older siblings and doing odd jobs at the movie theater her father managed. After the family moved to Houston when Moore was in her teens, she yearned for community and found it in church, inspiring a godly commitment that became the foundation of her life. Tracing her spiritual evolution, Moore recalls moments large and small: a moment in a bathroom during her college years when she spontaneously “sensed the Lord’s presence” intensely enough to make her “grip both sides of the sink”; and, at 18, dedicating herself to vocational church service in front of her congregation. Moore takes readers through her career, including teaching at Houston’s First Baptist Church and writing Bible studies; she also discusses her 2018 break with the Southern Baptist movement because of an uproar about women preaching in its churches. Moore proves to be a consummate storyteller as she candidly charts her life’s ups and downs and shares insight into her career as a high-profile evangelical Bible teacher. Moore’s fans will devour this. Publishers Weekly

Living Proof Ministries founder Moore opens up about a range of topics, including her split with the Southern Baptist Church, in this memoir.

Born in Wisconsin and raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, in 1957, the author regularly attended the Southern Baptist Church from a young age. She describes in detail her immersion baptism at 9 years of age, remarking, I d been buried with Christ in baptism and raised . . . to walk in newness of life. Moore s upbringing is described with a veneer of normality, recalling family camping vacations in a Volkswagen bus. However, a darkness is evident when the author states, No kind of good dad does what my dad did to me. Her memoir approaches not only the horror of abuse, but also the early trauma of her mother s deteriorating mental health. At 18, Moore experienced a distinct moment when she sensed God s presence and felt a call to vocational Christian service. Milestones in Moore s life include marrying and becoming a mother and founding Living Proof Ministries in 1994, dedicated to encouraging women to know and love Jesus through the study of Scripture. She attained celebrity status with her church and never shied away from expressing her opinions. The author candidly addresses the time she called out Donald Trump following the publication of the notorious Access Hollywood tape in 2016: You think this kind of talk is okay? . . . Do you happen to know women who have had hands forced on them? Moore also discusses how she handled backlashes and Twitter blow-ups, along with her motivations for ending her affiliation with the Southern Baptist Church.

Moore s memoir is punctuated with thoughtful statements that elucidate her understanding of life, as when she discusses the mentors that inspired her the most: Each made a deep indentation, a bold point with a permanent marker. Draw lines connecting them, and they form a triangle that shaped my entire ministry life. Such solemnity is offset with a generous dose of humor, such as when Moore recalls her baptism: Even though this is what I d come for, I was still a good bit surprised by the swiftness of the dunking. In such moments, those familiar with Moore will recognize her oratorical energy in her writing. When examining her deteriorating relationship with the Baptist church, Moore remains candid and does not overlook self-scrutiny: Something was happening to us. Something bad. Maybe it had been happening all along and I was too blind to see it. Too busy in my own world. Too privileged. Too partial. Too immersed. Moore writes of abuse she faced as a child and does so with graceful prose: Different slices of the same secrets are on our plates. The author lays down her beliefs with bold clarity throughout: I am pro-life as well. Not just antiabortion, but pro-life, across the board from conception to coffin or cremation. Readers may not share Moore s beliefs, but the one million Twitter followers she s amassed will be eager to learn more about the life story that forged this well-known evangelist.

The frank views expressed in this remembrance will divide opinion, but the quality of Moore s writing is indisputable. Kirkus Reviews

From the Back Cover

From All My Knotted-Up Life

Family is a heck of a thing . . .

“We want to touch, to hold hands, on our own terms, which is our right and ought to be our right, but most times we don’t. We go from knowing each other better than we know ourselves, to barely sure if we know each other at all, to precisely sure that we don’t.

“All my knotted-up life I’ve longed for the sanity and simplicity of knowing who’s good and who’s bad. I’ve wanted to know this about myself as much as anyone. This was not theological. It was strictly relational. God could do what he wanted with eternity. I was just trying to make it here in the meantime. As benevolent as he has been in a myriad of ways, God has remained aloof on this uncomplicated request.

“But he never stopped talking to me through the Scriptures. Didn’t stop meeting with me in my prayer time. Didn’t stop filling me to teach and write. He just endured with me. Endured with us.

“Then came the autumn of 2016 . . .”

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible! Authentic picture of female pursuing Jesus above it all.
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023

I have been through 3 Beth Moore studies and enjoyed each of them. Of the many women speakers/preachers out there, she has a deep rich understanding of the scriptures more on point with theologians. I knew nothing of her background or story.

This book took my respect and appreciation for her to a whole new level. She is shattering the misconceptions we unintentionally hold that our spiritual leaders must be perfect and have a flawless background. Many spiritual leaders would do well to imitate the raw and vulnerable tone here and share how they have been challenged, tried and not measured up to the standard we all strive to. It encourages and gives hope to us all.

I cried tears multiple times in this book the first when the book talked about Keith and his struggle with PSTD and BiPolar. To Keith: thank you for letting Beth share your struggles. I was incredibly touched by your story. You are just as courageous as Beth in sharing your journey here!

I am a woman called to vocational ministry with a husband who struggles with OCD/Depression. He also doesn't mind swearing much to my dismay :-) He is with us every week for church and prays for our meals and children but we pursue the Lord at different levels. He struggles with his faith and would relate to the statement "Life is just harder for some people." Yes, yes it is. We have been through mental health hell and my heart goes out to you for enduring. For that is the best you can do at times. Endure.

So many times, the unspoken expectation when a women leads in the church is her husband must pursue the Lord at the same level. Especially since scripture states the male should lead spiritually. What if they don't lead spiritually or pursue the Lord in the same passionate way? I'm not divorcing my spouse because he struggles with his faith. I love him! I'm also not willing to sacrifice my pursuit of the Lord or passion to lead others into deeper levels of understanding of the word for that reason either. Can a woman lead spiritually in the church if her husband doesn't pursue the Lord at the same level she does? Would love discussion on this one.

Her Encounter with God... just beautiful. The Lord knew where her life was headed and where she came from. And He chose her anyways. Amen! Who he calls he will equip for the journey! I am a pastor's kid raised in christian conservative denomination that doesn't acknowledge the charismatic expression of the gifts or talk about God encounters. Truly providence that the woman who Beth shared her encounter with directed her to vocational ministry and didn't negate the experience.

I am now a non-denominational charismatic after a God encounter that included manifestations of the gifts down the road. Absolutely loved her quote "An individual can go an entire lifetime without feeling anything out of the ordinary and have no less Spirit, no less calling, no less purpose, faith, or gifting and certainly no less fruitfulness." I will hopefully be teaching a class on the more supernatural gifts of the Spirit and Beth's encounter and this quote will be in there. Yes! Value for those that do and do not operate in the gifts. Receiving a gift or having an experience does not elevate you above another person or make you less called.

I am touched to the core by Beth's story. We all carry some level of brokenness through this walk of life. Her story is such a beautiful reminder of walking with Jesus through it all. Of the messy, sometimes harrowing road that we have to navigate to make it through those pearly gates. God bless you Beth Moore! Bless you for putting up with judgmental know-it-alls, rude and opinionated people who break others down in the guise of religion, and for pursuing the Lord so faithfully with the hand dealt you. You have and will continue to impact many.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm officially a fan. Absolutely wonderful book.
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023

Not having been raised in the Southern Baptist Convention-influenced universe, I wanted to find out about the people that have formed the mindset that so many now are rejecting. Years ago, back when I watched TBN, I'd tune into James Robison and see Beth Moore there regularly. I was always impressed.

I decided to read up about this Gothard dude, this MacArthur dude, and Paige Patterson to better understand the big names in all this. What surprised me is that several names popped up that I was quite familiar with already, one being Dobson. The influence these people have had on the entire American church has been eye-opening for me. With Beth leaving the SBC, and having been raised in that mindset, I wanted to understand the background. I saw somewhere that this MacArthur fella told her to "go home". When I read that, I had to get the book. I wanted her side.

Well. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. She had me in the first pages since I grew up in the 60's too. What struck me is that her thought processes throughout this whole thing have thoroughly paralleled my own, in spite of the fact that I wasn't raised in that universe. I've done my decades in various churches of different brands, I have been completely immersed in American Churchianity since the 80's, and have come to see the hypocrisy in so much of it, specifically the patriarchy mindset. The other book that had me- Beth Allison Barr's The Making of Biblical Womanhood. I hope these 2 women have met and had coffee.

Moore's book is so very well written, so very funny in places, and so very heart-wrenching in others. Thank you, Beth, for this. Very few books have impacted me like this one has.

Few contemporary figures are as polarising in the evangelical—particularly Baptist and baptistic—world as Beth Moore. She is reviled by some as much as she is admired others. This memoir delves deep into her life and what would become her enduring ministry. Filled with humour and heartbreaking honesty, Moore honours her past with appropriate transparency and gospel-rooted hope. Touching, funny, and poignant, the book reminds us how God works powerfully through imperfect people. It is well worth the read.

I listened to this as an audio book six months ago then decided to purchase it to keep it on my shelf to read again. Beth serves as the narrator in the audiobook and it is very well done… if you’re in the fence opt for the audiobook version. If you prefer to read, get this book you won’t regret it. It was the best book I read in 2023.

I had done one Beth Moore study prior to reading this but always respected who she was as an author and teacher. Her memoir is amazing. Her authenticity and candidness are refreshing throughout the book. She doesn’t hold back and just shared her love of Jesus. It was so helpful to hear a perspective I related to so whole heartedly. Beth-Thank you for sharing your darkest places with the world. We are so thankful for your vulnerability.

Well written and honest read. Beth openly and vulnerably shares her family background, with all of its good memories, pain and brokenness. She gives great insight into her years in ministry. It’s sad that “the Church” continues to react in fear to those that God calls and very definitely is using for His glory. Beth in revealing the Church abuse she experienced displays how to overcome with grace and poise, keeping our eyes on Jesus and not derailing from our calling. I did my first Beth Moore bible study with Breaking Free. It was life changing! This book will not disappoint and you will find yourself connecting in ways you had not imagined. Love you BETH!

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Impactful Memoir
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2023

I’ve been a ‘lurker’ on Beth’s twitter account as I find her posts both uplifting and amusing especially her animal sightings near her house. I’ve also read about the vicissitudes of her religious life from the outside looking in and have always admired her boldness and stand with her in her values. Especially her outspokenness in the political arena. In my opinion one of the only sane evangelical voices. I was so comforted to know that there were other Christians who had not drunk the cool aid in 2016. With this background I was immediately entranced with this memoir. Seeing the internal workings of all that I had observed externally. But far more impactful was reading her struggles in both her childhood and adult life. The strength of character to have endured and still be so inspirational. This book has affected me in a visceral way and I find it difficult to describe the roller coaster of emotions I feel. Keith’s struggles and his overcoming spirit has been especially heart wrenching. I just love the relationship between the two. Beth’s writing is so poetic and emotive and amusing. Dare I say hilarious as well. Words cannot express how I love this book. Definitely one of my favorite books read.

Wow. My respect for Beth Moore grew deeper and wider as I read her memoir. She is a woman after God's own heart. And when life fired darts at her, she drew closer to Christ.
The word that came to mind as I completed the book was: respect. I respect Beth deep and wide. The thought that came to mind regarding those who fired darts at her was: God is not a denomination nor a political party. He is Jesus. He is love. Deep and wide.
