Amy Bretall’s faith-based photography books have helped many people find faith in the everyday life. Her blog’s mission is to help others develop that faith through her writing – then deepen it.
Raised Up Faith
This little raised cross. Torn marks cut deep all around leaving scars like I’ve felt in life. But it doesn’t define me. The cross within me remains the stronger beat. "Raised up, reclaimed, repurposed, redefined, rejuvenated...stronger for the marks. That is how...
Brick Step Crosses
Do you ever wonder what you are missing, not seeing, or overlooking? Things right in front of you? I do. This week is the first time I noticed these crosses. I’ve used these steps in my walk route for four years...4 years. For 2 years I’ve been very aware of seeing...
Crossing the Road
This image was the start to my idea. I liked this photo and showed it to a good friend who commented: “I really like that.” I said “I really do too.” Somewhere between faith and prayer, an idea came to me. Do something with these photos. March of 2016 I reached out...

Faith Beat
What is the beat in your heart? It’s there for a reason. Given to you. Not someone else. Will you listen to it? Will you follow it? I heard a motivational video ask “How much could someone pay you to give up on your dream?” Ouch. How long will the beat call to you...
Arm Yourself with Faith
Doubt is the Devil. Remember this as you start to LIVE your inspiration. You have to arm your mind with a shield. Because make no mistake, it is war. That little negative voice - it just takes a few seconds of doubt to hold onto you. The Devil wants it to linger. He...
