Meet The Author
Desiree Taylor has been married to her husband, Duane, for 29 years and is the mom of two grown sons, Kyle and David. She is the author of Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion, where she shares her journey from legalism and performance-based faith into an authentic, life-giving relationship with Jesus, and the profound transformation it brought to every area of her life.
Desiree is a mentor and is deeply involved in her local church. She speaks at women’s retreats and events, and she is most grateful for the meaningful relationships formed along the way.
At the heart of Desiree’s work is a deep desire to help women know they are truly seen, known, and loved, not only by her but by their Heavenly Father. She longs to meet women in the places where they may feel stuck, remind them they are not alone, and encourage them to never give up.

What People Are Saying
From word one, Created to Relate captivated me. Although our life experiences are different, I related and connected deeply with Desiree while reading the book. I will be recommending this read to everyone I know ... and even ones I don't :-)
We journey together: different paths, same questions, awesome Lord!
I loved her journey, because it sounded like mine. A treasure called the Gospel of Good News. Encouragement, strength, and heartfelt questions. Thank you for sharing the journals of the heart.
I had the privilege of hosting a small group in my home to study Created to Relate: Living Beyond Religion.
It was such a gift to watch Desiree share her story—the good, the hard, the joyful, and the painful. Her honesty is refreshing and heartfelt. She is gentle, humble, and beautiful inside and out, and I’ve seen her grow so much over the years.
I can’t wait for her next book!
