WALDORF, Md. - Marylandian -- Author, speaker, purpose coach, and Co-Founder of Marriage Takeover™, Temeka Thompson, known as The Midwife of Purpose, announces the national distribution of her book, Obedience Over Perfection, originally released on January 24, 2026.

Now available wherever books are sold nationwide, reaching over 40,000 bookstores, libraries, and retailers, this isn't just a book, it's a conversation many women didn't know they were allowed to have.

Part memoir, part healing journey, and part spiritual awakening, Obedience Over Perfection carries readers through Temeka's personal story of healing, forgiveness, surrender, and obedience; not from a place of having it all together, but from walking it out in real time. The book challenges the cultural pressure to strive, perform, and wait until everything feels "perfect," offering instead a liberating truth: healing and purpose are unlocked through obedience, not perfection.

This is not your typical self-help book.
And it's not your grandmother's version of religion either.

It is honest, unfiltered, and full of permission, written for the woman who has felt overlooked, disqualified, or unsure if she even belongs in faith conversations at all.

Drawing from her own journey of surrender, healing, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening, Temeka guides readers through themes of identity, fear, forgiveness, and divine assignment. Each chapter invites women to confront the places they've been hiding and to trust God with her "yes", even when clarity feels incomplete.

"This book is a love letter to women who feel stuck, delayed, or disqualified," says Temeka. "You didn't wait because you were confused, you waited because obedience demanded more than perfection ever would."

What's already setting this book apart is the response. Women who have never stepped into a church are reading it and seeing themselves for the first time. Women who felt rejected by church spaces are finding healing in its pages.
