The Hardest Peace: Expecting Grace in the Midst of Life's Hard

by Kara Tippetts

Overview

Don’t miss The Long Goodbye: The Kara Tippetts Story on Netflix now, featuring Ann Voskamp, Ellie Holcomb, and Joanna Gaines!

Kara Tippetts knows the ordinary days of mothering four kids, the joy of watching her children grow ... and the devestating reality of stage-four cancer. In The Hardest Peace, Kara doesn't offer answers for when living is hard, but 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 pain into beauty.

Winner of the 2015 Christian Book Award® in the Inspiration category.

Editorial Reviews

Losing myself in the startling light of Kara’s story, I have found who I am, who He is, and more of the meaning of every breath.”
— Ann Voskamp, New York Times best-selling author of One Thousand Gifts

From the Publisher

Patty Fogarty narrates Tippetts’s memoir with appealing warmth. Her raw and vulnerable delivery of what Tippetts learned while dying from Stage IV cancer is compelling—especially as she puts forth the author’s life-changing truths and Christ-centered insights about her life, children, and husband. Listeners learn the importance of dealing with anger and bitterness and of showing love and appreciation in the small moments—whether folding laundry, solving a dispute, or sharing a cup of coffee with a friend. In each instance, Fogarty captures Tippetts’s unwavering spirit and faith in the grace of God. G.D.W.
