Publisher's summary

Finding grace in the everyday…Kara Tippetts knows the ordinary days of mothering four kids, the joy of watching her children grow...and the devastating reality of stage IV cancer.

In The Hardest Peace, Kara doesn’t offer answers for when living is hard, but rather she asks us to join her in moving away from fear and control and toward peace and grace. Most of all, she draws us back to the God who is with us in the mundane and the suffering, and who shapes even our unmet expectations and pain into beauty.

DO I REALLY BELIEVE GOD IS GOOD?

This is a story about living more than dying.

This is not, as I thought, a story about cancer. It's about growing up, and love, and marriage, and how life takes us places we could never imagine. It's a story of God meeting us all in all the hard places of our lives, and transforming us through the grace we meet there. Have ordered the book, because I want a hard copy on hand.

Inspiring and heart wrenching

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it is easily engaging.

Any additional comments?

As an Oncology nurse and Christian with a best friend in the cancer battle, I found this book to be very near to my heart. This is an insightful account of a personal journey of faith, hope and love. Many thanks to the Author and her family for allowing others into her journey.

Such a strong faith!

I was diagnosed with ALS 8 months ago at 46years old, as a single mom of 3. I don’t know when my journey will end. It is full of financial burdens, care needs, and unknowns. My biggest prayer is that my faith will remain strong. I found comfort in knowing I am not the first to go through this hard peace. The worldly challenge of trusting God with your children when you’re gone. Unfortunately my kids are not being left to a Godly man but instead to a man that left his family and God for his now wife. This is my hardest peace! But I found so much comfort in Kara’s words and I know God is a redeeming God as well as the true father of my kids! I live in COS and this book has been in my library for many years. I believe God put it on my heart to listen to it at the perfect time!

A must read for this side of Heaven❤️

Heartfelt..,real...grace breathed...love drenched...My husband always said, "A message from the heart, reaches the heart.". My heart has been reached and has been made full with words I want to share with others. My prayers extend to this family whom Jesus has laid a special nearness to as they continue their walk through the shadow of the valley of death.

Trusting in Jesus while enduring much pain and suffering and knowing she had a terminal illness

Kara living and relishing each day with gratitude…knowing she didn’t cause nor could she control or cure the cancer. Kara knew who could and she let Jesus be in charge knowing death could be an answer too. Eternal life with him. She fought the good fight. !
