The Hard Goodby Lisa Whittle

The Hard Good

by Lisa Whittle

Learn how to see the good, again, even after hard times.

What does it feel like to come back from something hard, to be able to hope again? Hard things are a part of life. Yet they don't have to have the final word. They can become the keys to our greatest usability in the kingdom of God--that is, if we let God make good of them, rather than running away and refusing the growth we truly crave.

If we're weary of being bossed by our emotions, the hard good can help bring a new way of living with healthy, managed emotions. Where we were once stuck in a place of what if, the transformational process God takes us through provides a compelling shift of perspective to what is. It is the way we not only come back from hard things but also emerge with a richer life.

In The Hard Good Lisa Whittle guides us on a powerful path to progress as we learn to:

  • accept things we wish were different,
  • apologize and forgive first,
  • cheer for someone who gets what we want,
  • open our hearts again when we've been hurt,
  • find joy in the waiting,
  • and show up when we want to shut down.

Written for those who desperately want to move forward, The Hard Good gives voice to the hard places we all have lived and Lisa's clear directions as to where to go next.

Your hard place is never too hard for God. Allow it to change you, help you, and ready you for the greatest comeback you have ever known.

Jesus Over Everything

by Lisa Whittle

Life doesn't have to be so complicated. Join Bible teacher Lisa Whittle as she shows you how to grow deep roots of faith and walk strong on a journey to put Jesus first.

We all want to live simpler lives and to put Jesus first--but we struggle with doing both. While we are busy strategizing new ways to streamline our calendars and clean the clutter out of our closets, what really needs attention is actually the secret to long-term clarity and lasting peace: putting Jesus over everything in our lives.

In a culture that carries the confusion of overindulgence, endless options and influencer voices, the Jesus-first life clears our minds and hearts of noise so our souls can find true meaning and rest. In Jesus Over Everything, Lisa offers a close look at the eight choices you can make to help you grow in your understanding of what it means to put Jesus first amid the craziness of the day-to-day.

Discover the joy of choosing:

  • Commitment over mood
  • Real over pretty
  • Steady over hype
  • Holiness over freedom
  • Service over spotlight
  • Wisdom over knowledge
  • Honesty over hiding

Jesus Over Everything is a practical, compelling picture of what we crave and yet struggle to define as we seek to give God his rightful place in our everyday lives. Packed with tools to equip and motivate you, the Jesus-over-everything journey will help you reprioritize your faith first in order to reprioritize your daily life.
