About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book reminds me of " Lord teach us to number our days and we shall learn wisdom. " It's in a way hard to read ; But its suffering that teaches us so much more than anything else ever could.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent, covers a wide range of topics from a biblical perspective. Highly recommend for any woman especially the healthy and well.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5wow I don't know if I've ever read such a real authentic biography before! a great book about Jesus meeting you in the really really really really hard places of life. I would recommended very highly
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was on the hunt for devotionals(because I had ordered some but I am a tad impatient) and I found this book. It really spoke to me because Kara took us through her whole life(and in the beginning she said it was for singles too). Basically Kara and her husband share how to live out faith, love, joy, and challenge each day in Christ.
I actually read it twice and will probably continue to read it. Each chapter has questions at the end to make you think and reflect on your own experience. I am going to add these questions to my blog as well.
Read this book if you are looking to draw closer to God and if you find yourself asking "Why me?". Kara's answer would be why not you and see what God can do in the midst of it all. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This woman is DYING and I still hate her Christian, blogging, sun dress wearing, we-all-live-in-a-bus family. Still struggling with what this says about me. Clearly I'm going to hell and the Tippetts won't be there.
