Just Show Up: the dance of walking through suffereing together by Kara Tippetts & Jill Lynn Buteyn

10/16/2015

About the Book

Picture
Kara Tippetts’s story was not a story of disease, although she lost her battle with terminal cancer.
It was not a story of saying goodbye, although she was intentional in her time with her husband and four children. Kara’s story was one of seeing God in the hard and in the good. It was one of finding grace in the everyday. And it was one of knowing “God with us” through fierce and beautiful friendship.
In Just Show Up, Kara and her close friend, Jill Lynn Buteyn, write about what friendship looks like in the midst of changing life seasons, loads of laundry, and even cancer. Whether you are eager to be present to someone going through a difficult time or simply want inspiration for pursuing friends in a new way, this eloquent and practical book explores the gift of silence, the art of receiving, and what it means to just show up.
Available to purchase on Amazon:
Kindle
​Paperback

Review

Picture

In this inspiring story of two friends, Kara Tippetts and Jill Buteyn, Just Show Up teaches readers about the trials of life and the true meaning of friendship.  It teaches of the hope of becoming a better friend, of always being there, in fact to “Just Show Up.” This delightful, quick-read will leave readers thinking about their personal friend relationships and how to make them better. I would recommend this non-fiction, inspirational, women’s fiction to anyone that has a friend and wants to learn how to be a person and a better friend.
