This Time I Will Praise the Lord:
How Leah's Passionate Declaration Helped Shape History

Available for pre-order now!

If making the choice to praise God was based on a person's feelings and circumstances, a physically undesirable woman from a sham marriage with dysfunctional family relationships might be a poor example to copy.

Meet Leah, a flawed woman who speaks so relatably to the brokenness inside us all. But after dismissing a trio of sons as God’s failed recipe for marital success, she makes a courageous heart decision that changes everything. What does she decide to do? To praise God.

Whether we’re celebrating on the mountaintop or struggling in the valley, offering praise is an intentional choice to honour God’s attributes, virtues, worthiness, wisdom, and unmatched power. Yet our choice to praise Him isn’t contingent on His response.

Come journey alongside Leah and see how God uses her mess for His transcendent purpose. The funny thing is, her mess is ours too… but so is God’s incredible restoration and future.

"This book will inspire you to lift your eyes above your pain and challenges. A must-read for anyone longing to experience God’s goodness."

—Susan Elsmore,
Associate Pastor, Mackenzie Campus, Gateway Baptist Church

"This book… offers a biblical perspective towards God’s praise, grace, and strength no matter what season of life you are in, and the path to action it. I definitely recommend this read."

—Michael W. Smith,
Association of Related Churches (ARC), COO
