We desperately need to hear a voice of truth speaking life to us in those times. Thankfully, Jennie Lusko steps up to be that voice for us in The Fight to Flourish. Jennie has walked through the valley in her own life and is a friend who has certainly strengthened me with words of hard-fought hope.

Brooke Ligertwood, head of Hillsong WorshipJennie Luskos faith cannot be ignored. It is raw and real. Both bold and beautiful, her faith shines more brightly through her sorrows than her successes.

Jennie Lusko has been there! Ready to discover the ongoing strength she found? Jennie wrote The Fight to Flourish as a charge to reengage life with renewed vision and confidence. Amy Groeschel, cofounder of Life.Church, author, and founder of Branch15My wife didnt want to write this book. She was too busy living out its message--fighting to flourish. I am constantly amazed watching her go at it hammer and tongs, whether facing grief, our family life, or in our church as we pastor together. No, she didnt want to write this book, but that is precisely why it is so important that she did. This is no abstraction full of theories or poems you are about to read. The Fight to Flourish is a tear- and blood-stained playbook that has helped her face both victory and defeat with grace and grit, and it will help you do the same.

Alex Seeley, lead pastor of The Belonging CoThe Fight to Flourish is more than just an inspiring book. Jennie Lusko shares and leverages her story, yes. But, more than that, she draws together lessons learned, insights gleaned, and growth precipitated from profound pain. She demonstrates how we, too, can lean into our heavenly Father through the good days and the difficult ones. If you take this message to heart, it will be a lifeline drawing you closer to the woman, the wife, the mom, the sister, or the friend you deeply desire to be.
