I Am Who God Says I Am is a powerful faith-centered memoir and ministry leadership book for women who know God has called them but have struggled with rejection, grief, church hurt, institutional barriers, leadership exhaustion, or the need for human approval.
From her roots in rural North Carolina to pastoral leadership, Amy Artis shares the deeply personal journey that shaped her faith, tested her identity, and strengthened her resolve to walk boldly in God’s calling. Through loss, resistance, closed doors, theological questions, and the realities of leading others, she reveals what it means to remain anchored when people, systems, and circumstances challenge what God has spoken over your life.
More than a memoir, this book is a message of courage, healing, and spiritual identity. Amy challenges women to stop allowing human systems to determine the legitimacy of what God has placed inside them and to embrace the truth that their worth, calling, and purpose are ultimately defined by God.
I Am Who God Says I Am is for every woman who has ever questioned whether she belongs, wondered whether she is qualified, or felt pressured to shrink in order to be accepted. It is a reminder to stand firm, walk in faith, and move forward without apology—because when you know whose you are, you can confidently become who God says you are.
