About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I needed this book. I was looking for something that would provide some guidance on meeting the needs of a loved one with terminal cancer and this book not only gave good advice on how to provide assistance but also dealt with many of those thoughts and feelings that occur when you are in the midst of the suffering. I'm in a similar situation as Jill Lynn Buteyn and my relationship with my person is similar to her relationship with Kara. I heard my voice and my person's voice many times while reading this book. I'm grateful for it.
If you are in the midst of suffering with a close friend, I cannot recommend this book enough. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5While insanely depressing, this book is important and will hopefully find its way to those in times of need. Thankfully, I don't need all the advice this book has to offer now, but I did learn some other important information and will be well prepared should tragedy strike. This book is a practical guide on how to be there for someone suffering cancer or loss or some other tragedy. It talks about how to show up, what to say and do, and how to make the greatest impact on your friend and on your soul. Written by the late Kara Tippets, a cancer patient, and her good friend Jill Lynn Buteyn this book offers good faith based and common sense advice. A must read for anyone wanting to help out others in their time of need.I received this book for free from Litfuse publicity in return for my honest, unbiased review.
