About this listen

Read by the author.

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.

Just what my heart needed.

Lisa’s words took me on a journey of healing and surrender, pointing me to the savior the whole way. I am learning to find the good in the hard.

Life can be Hard but there is Good in it

Thank you Lisa Whittle for opening your heart with us as you share examples in your life of times that have been hard but you are able to see good things come out of the experience.
Thank you for encouraging me to look for the good, for the way God is working through a hard time to change me to be more like Him.
I pray I can encourage other women through my experiences.

The good of The Hard Good

I’ve never read a Lisa Whittle book before so there was no prejudging what I might find. What I found was that this book touched deep places with words full of mercy and grace for the hard things we face in life. It’s worth the read. And I will be reading it again.

Fantastic

What an unbelievable story of real authentic life with God. I was able to relate of sooooo many levels and my favorite is how parts of your story that helped me make sense of parts of mine for the first time. That’s what God does…uses our stories to help others in theirs. Thank you for your vulnerability!

Jehovah sneaky

When I got this book I was praying for the hard good in my difficult new 6 month marriage, step parenting and our ground 0 no money ministry… however the day I started it a while after I got it… was 4 days after I lost my father. God knew the difficulties I would have in this upcoming season and saw ALL of them.. before I did

A necessary lesson in understanding life.

There is so much to learn in this life. The Hard Good was a perspective that I didn’t have before listening to this book. I’m grateful that this writer took on the effort to wade through the hard parts to help us all find the good.

God Answers Prayers

Loved It! Chapter 6 was the chapter for me. After losing my 3 sisters within the last 15 years, I was experiencing all the effects of a shut down. I lost my Dear Mother 2 years ago. I felt I was nobody anymore but God assures me I am His daughter.
