The Hardest Peace by Kara Tippetts is a thought-provoking, heart-breaking, and encouraging book written by a woman who has faced adversity of many types yet whose faith continues to grow stronger as she weathers each storm.
Raised in less than ideal circumstances, she had a grandmother who introduced her to the Lord at an early age. This made a tremendous impact that has continued to sustain her over the years. Being diagnosed with Stage-IV cancer at the age of 36 has been the hardest battle of all. Kara discusses the peace she has while relying on God and how His grace is sufficient, yet is realistic about the pain and suffering. The longing she has to grow old with her husband and watch her children grow is also eloquently expressed. Yet her ability to stand firm on the knowledge that God will see her and her loved ones through each moment is an encouragement to others.
Questions posed
at the end of each chapter really help the reader reflect and dig deeper into their own relationships...with God, family, and friends; Very helpful in making you more intentional in your words and deeds, and your personal and spiritual growth. I confess that her writing style is not one that keeps my attention, but it is very similar to another author, Ann Voskamp, whose books and blog millions of women love. I believe this book will be a blessing to anyone who reads it, but fans of Voskamp and similar authors will especially love it.

Well, I usually keep my opinion's to my self (not) and of course I haven't read the book _The Hardest Peace" by Kara Tippetts, but after reading this review, particularly "Very helpful in making you more intentional in your words and deeds, and your personal and spiritual growth." I want to. It would be delightful to win it in a drawing, but I will be checking my library and if they don't have it, request they do. I admit, I usually check out books that way and DVDs from Redbox before investing my money or limited space to get one permanently.
You won, but I have no idea how to contact you.
If you email me at cindynavarro713@gmail.com by 11pm Nov 4th, I will send your address to Propeller.
