How to get past whatever's holding you back--and start living a whole new story We all have holes in our lives--those things we lament about ourselves. Those things we allow to define us in ways we don't like. Those things that keep us from living the life God wants for us. But what if you discovered that the holes in your life are really the things that will ultimately make you . . . well, whole? Author and communicator Lisa Whittle knows this all too well. When her world was rocked to the core in a very public way, her faith and whole reason for living were challenged like never before. In that moment, Lisa was confronted by the holes in her spiritual life. And what she learned not only changed her life, but could bring great possibilities to yours. In "Whole," Lisa calls you to take an honest look at your holes, discover how to fill them with God's presence, and get to a real and vibrant place of wholeness instead. In her trademark bold, compassionate, and relatable voice, Lisa takes you on a transformational journey of understanding who you really are... and what you were born to be and do. Lisa Whittle, the author of two other books, is a not-your-typical-ministry-leader whose past experiences include writing for Women of Faith, church planting, and traveling with Compassion International. She speaks to audiences across the United States, leading the church in conversation on wholeness. Lisa is a wife and a mother of three who resides in North Carolina.

When Lisa Velthouse was growing up, her version of Christianity was about getting things right all the time. Earning good grades. Obeying her parents. Not drinking. Deciding to save her first kiss until she got engaged; even publishing a book called--you guessed it--"Saving My First Kiss." (Who knew it would be so hard to get a date with that title on your resume?) This poster child for good Christian girls did everything she could to earn God's okay. But when even her best wasn't enough, Lisa embarked on a search to discover what grace really means. This coming-of-age memoir is the story of a six-month fast from sweets and a faith dramatically changed: how in one woman's life God used honey to break through stale religious practices and empty goodness, revealing the surprising depth of sin and need and, with it, the stunning wonder that is grace.
