Everything - by Stephanie Ehmke (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"What does God want from me?"

If you've ever wrestled with this question, you are not alone.

To say the Christian life is "not easy" is an understatement of epic proportions. Daily, those seeking to faithfully follow Jesus are confronted with the brokenness of this life, hatred in our world, unseen assaults of the enemy, and the ever-present stalking of their past brokenness. With all this against them, why do so many continue to seek and follow a God who seems to allow so much hardship, pain, and suffering?

The surprisingly simple answer is... because he is worth it.

Everything chronicles the real-life narrative of Stephanie Ehmke, a woman who dared to take God at his word, believing if she surrendered everything to him (her heart, broken past, marriage, career, pride, children, security, and aspirations) she would find his faithfulness. Ultimately what she found was so much more; a hope that would endure the worst, and in turn, she could hold out to others.

Stephanie's story is incredibly raw and vulnerable, inviting you, through her openness, to find God in the distressing details. There is no sugar coating of her pain, minimizing how hard healing can be, or stories of immediate fixes simply because she loved Jesus. What you will find is a life authentically lived out before Jesus with all its questions, doubts, and wrestling. A life where everything has been broken, surrendered, and redeemed; a life now proclaiming without hesitancy or apology that hope is real.

So, what does God want from you? EVERYTHING and he is worth it. Come see for yourself.
