    About this audiobook

    Hard things are a part of life--but they don't have to have the final word. Join bestselling author Lisa Whittle as she teaches us how to learn how to see the good again.

    What does it feel like to come back from something hard, to be able to hope again? Instead of running away from the obstacles we face and the growth we crave, Lisa teaches us that our challenges can become the keys to our greatest usability in the kingdom of God--that is, if we let God make good of them.

    In The Hard Good, Lisa 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
    • Show up when we want to shut down

    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.

    Praise for The Hard Good:

    "I can't think of a person better equipped than my friend Lisa Whittle to tackle the hand-in-hand partnership of the title of this book: The Hard Good. She knows the angst of hard in deeply personal ways. She knows the choice of good because her heart purely seeks Jesus, and she truly wants to make a holy difference by helping others. Settle in. Dare to crack open these pages. You can, as I do, trust her with your heart. Let's do this. Together we can do the hard good."

    --Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author of Forgiving What You Can't Forget

      I needed every ounce of biblical encouragement that this book had to offer. I will definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to grow in Christlikeness.
