About Lysa


Lysa TerKeurst is the New York Times bestselling author of Made to Crave and Unglued. She isn't shy about admitting what a mess she can be. But in the midst of everyday "growth opportunities," she's been learning God's lessons and sharing them on her blog (www.LysaTerKeurst.com) and in her books. Lysa is president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and writes from her sticky farm table in North Carolina where she lives with her husband, Art, five kids, three dogs, and mouse that refuses to leave her kitchen.

Escape the shame and guilt of disappointing others by learning the secret of the small no.

Lysa deals with a universal condition. She calls it "the disease to please." Those of us who are afflicted will find her counsel timely and practical. I did.

Max Lucado, pastor and New York Times best-selling author

The Best Yes is Lysa at her best: warm, wise, practical, honest. This topic is so timely for me, and for every other busy woman and mom I know, and Lysa has both instructed and inspired me through these wonderful and necessary pages.

Shauna Niequist, author of Bread & Wine

Lysa presents a compelling question we should all be asking ourselves - am I experiencing the calling I'm made for or have I lost my way in the rush of life? The demands others place on us will push and pull us until we learn how to say yes to the part we're supposed to play. Lysa reminds us that God guides us to specific places for a reason - and when I say yes to His will, who I am will align with what I do, allowing God's purpose to prevail in my life.

Steven Furtick, Lead Pastor, Elevation Church & New York Times bestselling author of Crash The Chatterbox, and Greater

In a loud and shouty Internet age with more people than ever before vying for our time and attention, learning how to say "no" is a survival skill. One that we we women especially need help mastering. Setting healthy boundaries without giving up on community altogether is the Biblical life skill that Lysa unpacks with grace, faith, and a great sense of humor in this book. Reading it was like remembering how to exhale.

Lisa-Jo Baker, Best selling author of, Surprised by Motherhood: Everything I Never Expected About Being a Mom and community manager for the website, incourage.me

Lysa TerKeurst is one of the most brilliant women I know and I am so thankful for her willingness to share her thoughtful process for making wise decisions in The Best Yes. By saying "no" to some things we can say "YES" to the best things so that we can be better servants of Jesus, happier members of our family and more skillful and productive employees. She writes in such a way that you feel like she is giving all this advice directly to YOU. There is not a person I know that wouldn't benefit from reading the wisdom from the pages of The Best Yes.

Perry Noble, Senior Pastor of NewSpring Church and author of Overwhelmed

Our choices ultimately determine the direction of our lives. Though we want to be agreeable, saying "yes" too often can cause us to become overwhelmed, stressed, and worn thin. That's why I love Lysa Terkeurst's incredible book, The Best Yes. In it, Lysa will lead you to make wise choices as you learn to break through the barriers of guilt, indecisiveness and people pleasing. Pick up this book now and let Lysa help you find your best "yes."

Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv, Author of Fight, Winning the Battles that Matter Most

Like few other women I know, Lysa has the ability to move us from a stuck place to a place of freedom. If you like me have spent much of your life saying "yes" to things you wish you had the courage to say "no" to, this book will be a game changer. It's is a book you will want, not just of yourself but for all the women in your life. When we understand the scriptural principles outlined here, then every "Yes!" will be intensional, significant and wholehearted. Thank you Lysa!

Sheila Walsh, author of The Storm Inside

Lysa's pen is vibrant, her heart pulsates with understanding and warmth, and her yeses are wisdom-sharp. I'm tired of tired. This tome of truth arrived in the nick of time. Thanks, Lysa. I needed to get back on track with my Best Yeses and kind noes.

Patsy Clairmont, author of Twirl: A Fresh Spin At Life

I love The Best Yes! Wise, warm, honest, funny, and do-it-now practical, this guide to making smart decisions is just the thing for those of us who have too much on our calendars and need help to stop the madness. Lysa has clearly lived and learned what works and what doesn't. Her stories, examples, and advice all ring true, and wisdom pours from every page. This is her best yet!

Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible

Overcome the agony of hard choices by embracing a wisdom based decision-making process.
