Dear friend, We know it deeply. It is so hard to juggle work, home, and spiritual life. As working women, we've wrestled with tough questions: * How can I be effective in my work, and stay committed to the Gospel? * How can I be dedicated to my family, when my job is so demanding? * Why am I working so hard, and still so unfulfilled? Sound familiar? Like you, we see a culture that promotes success at all costs, and working women are falling for it. It's happening every day. Priorities are shifting. Things are getting done . . . but are we doing what matters most? And that's why we wrote this book. This is the story of how we traded the lies of the world for the truth of our loving Father--the lessons we learned that challenged culture's "good things" so we could find the greatest thing. The book you're holding in your hands is really a conversation--a conversation that pushes back against our culture with a Gospel-centered approach to work and womanhood, for the glory of God and the good of others. Let's get to work. His way. Michelle + Somer "This is the book for every working woman!"--ALLI WORTHINGTON, bestselling author and business coach

If we really believed that God knowing was enough—and left it there—our questions, worries, and angst over life's struggles would find more than temporary relief. Many of us wake up every day with looming anxieties over our future and a weariness we can't shake. We have more questions than answers and live with difficult daily realities and secrets we feel we cannot share. The question remains for most believers: How can I fix it, make sense of it, or solve it? Enter God Knows: a guidebook to lead the modern believer to a place of release, relief, and reliance upon the omniscience of God. Inspired by the seldom-studied book of Nahum, God Knows details the behind-the-scenes picture we are missing, what His great knowing entails, and how his omniscience provides daily perspective to bring the healing and peace we are all desperate to find. In God Knows, you will: experience freedom by learning the difference between privacy and secrecy, develop renewed belief in your abandoned dreams and goals, still known by God, realign your idea of God's omniscience being far away to how it daily affects you, release your fears for the future as you develop a different outlook on tomorrow through God's lens, and learn how to deal with injustice in light of God's knowledge of it. God is doing his job well: the justice, the plan, the working together for our good even when we can't see or understand. The problem is not God. Learn to release what has been burdening you and watch His plan for your life unfold.

Are you addicted to your phone? Do you find yourself engaging online but unengaged at home with the people right in front of you? Do you spend hours scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, newsfeeds, and YouTube videos? Have your devices become divisive--dividing you from family and friends and, most importantly, God? What would happen if you took some time to fast from social media in order to get social with God and others once more? In the pattern of her popular 40-Day Sugar Fast, Wendy Speake offers you The 40-Day Social Media Fast. This "screen sabbatical" is designed to help you become fully conscious of your dependence on social media so you can purposefully unplug from screens and plug into real life with the help of a very real God. Take a break from everyone and everything you follow online. Disconnect in order to reconnect with the only One who said "follow me."

As Christian women, we desire to put Jesus first. We want to prioritize him above all,
knowing instinctively that when we do, everything else in our lives will fall into
alignment. Yet life feels complicated, and the demands of our daily lives leave our
priorities out of order and our hearts longing for more.

Author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle is passionate about helping people
pursue Jesus for life, grow deep roots of faith, and walk strong in a world that so
often seems to have gone crazy. In Jesus Over Everything, Lisa shares eight
statements of choice to help us grow in our understanding of what it means to put
Jesus first amid the craziness our days bring, including choices such as

• commitment over mood,
• steady over hype,
• holiness over freedom,
• service over spotlight,
• and more.

Jesus Over Everything is a practical, compelling picture of what we crave yet struggle
to define as we seek to give God his rightful place in our everyday lives.

Do you long to know what a truly transformed life really feels like? Do you want to? Every reference to transformation and a healthy spiritual life in Scripture is dependent on putting God first, so what's the problem? Often times our human struggle is rooted in our priorities and where Jesus lands on our laundry list of considerations. Regardless of what we know to be true, our actions do not reflect the truth and virtue that Christ promises when we choose to put him first. Author, Bible teacher, and ministry leader Lisa Whittle challenges us to put Jesus over everything- from simple to complex circumstance, heart to head understanding, in everyday application and see what really happens. Because only when He is first do we know what a truly transformed life feels like. Lisa puts practical language to our universal difficulties, offering hope and direction for the future ahead. Jesus Over Everything is a compelling picture of what Jesus followers both crave and struggle to define as we seek to give God His rightful place in our everyday lives. In this six-week study, women will learn the tools to live with spiritual consistency, break damaging thought patters, find greater motivation to take care of the same things that break Jesus' heart in their everyday lives, gain applicable insight into everyday issues and responses, and have a clear understanding of how much better life is when God is the priority, right now. This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

Lisa Whittle will inspire you to see the hardships in your own life as opportunities to discover your purpose in God's perfect plan. "In this world you will have trouble," Jesus says to his disciples in John's Gospel. It's not an if statement, but a when statement. Hard times come in this life, and some of us may even wonder how God's plan could work for our good...But Jesus immediately follows with these words: "But take heart! I have overcome the world." The Hard Good Study Guide is for anyone who wants to take heart, who wants Jesus to be their present reality as much as their future hope. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide itself-with discussion and reflection questions, Bible reading, video notes, and a leader's guide. An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!). This six-session video Bible study (video streaming included) is focused on two kings: David and Saul. Their lives went down very different roads, and one of their greatest differences was in how they handled hardship and how they trusted God with their lives. As you take the "hard good" road, you'll learn to: Accept things you wish were different. Apologize and forgive first. Give up the now for the best. Cheer for someone who has what you want. Open your heart, even when it's been hurt. At our very core is the desire to be God's people-faithful, fulfilling the potential God created in us. To reach that point, sometimes we must endure hard things, things God has designed for our ultimate good, to shape us into the people he wants us to be. When we choose to accept the "hard good," in faith we discover our life's purpose. Watch on any device! Streaming video access code included. Access code subject to expiration after 12/31/2027.

Meet the cast. Ms. Perfection, Ms. Confidence, Ms. Happiness, Ms. Spirituality. Do you know them? Maybe, if you're honest with yourself, you may recognize you are one of them.

Let's admit it: the stories behind our eyes often go untold. We tend to cover our insecurities and heartaches with engaging smiles, fashionable clothes, and manufactured conversations. We impersonate the women we want to be - deeply spiritual, caring, supportive, capable, put together, and ridiculously happy. We desperately want to be accepted and loved, but we're afraid to reveal our true selves to others.

In "Behind Those Eyes," Bible teacher and speaker Lisa Whittle encourages women to get real - real with ourselves, real with one another, and real before God. With humor, compassion, and biblical insight, Whittle takes a refreshingly honest look at how we often mask our fear of rejection. In this book you learn how to:

• See your impersonations for what they really are
• Free yourself from shallow interactions with others
• Learn to choose authenticity over pretense
• Practice truth as a healing agent in your relationships

The Hard Good shows why the divine road that leads to God’s perfect plan for our lives is often paved with difficulties.

At our very core is the desire to be God’s woman or man—faithful, having fulfilled the potential God created in us. To reach that point, sometimes we have to endure hard things, things God has designed for good, to supernaturally shape us into the people he wants us to be. When we choose to accept the “hard good,” we discover our life’s purpose, and he promises to give us the joy and passion as our deepest longing is fulfilled.

The Hard Good is a powerful path to growth, as you learn to:

• Accept things you wish were different
• Apologize and forgive first
• Come clean (repentance)
• Give up the now for the best
• Stay in the journey
• Cheer for someone who has what you want
• Open your heart, even when it’s been hurt
• Tell yourself no

The Hard Good is a poignant and practical roadmap to help you find God’s true purpose for your life—a study in becoming the person God uniquely created you to be. With counsel from Scripture, which speaks into relevant and universal issues that touch each one of us, The Hard Good inspires and motivates you to discover the growth you have long desired as you search for your purpose in God’s perfect plan.

The perfect follow-up to Lisa's most recent release, Jesus over Everything, this message shows readers how God helps us to achieve our greatest potential. The story-driven lessons to reveal how Jesus works in our lives.
