Beumer had faced some trials of her own, which ignited her passion to write Launch out into the Deep and touch others.  She was diagnosed with schizophrenia and since then had to learn to not blame God for her misfortunes in life; instead, she has learned many lessons of faith and was drawn closer to God, an approach that she encourages others to take, no matter what issues they are struggling with, whether they are health problems like she faced or are individuals who are struggling with bitterness and depression who need a guiding hand to help them let go of negative feelings.
 
Beumer reminds those who face challenges like peer pressure, sexual promiscuity, and other issues related to modern life that God's grace is sufficient and that He always leaves His arms open for us to return at any time.  Although the walk of faith has many pitfalls, with encouragement from Beumer, readers can navigate their way safely down that path.
 
In Beumer's down-to-earth approach, unique format, and deeply resonant message, everyone can find something that speaks to them; it is the perfect read for those who struggle with excess frustrations and anxieties that cause them to question and abandon their faith; her encouraging language moves readers to consider drawing back to their faith in God and overcoming the fears and negative feelings that are holding them back.  Many of the readers of Launch out into the Deep find it to be a healing work, exhorting them to walk back down the right path, closely entwined with God.
