"Don't let fear keep you from crossing the threshold or lisha epperson "Don't let fear keep you from crossing the threshold or stepping off the drop-off into what God has in store for you." This has been my prayer and life's intention for the past year. In Every Little Thing I hear God whisper a reminder to my midlife heart - to live the fullness of a living, breathing gospel. Deidra makes it clear, God is present and ready to redeem, even when we're wrong. Grateful for this message of grace and hope. It speaks to the game-changing hope of Christ and the power of ordinary obedience..

I've been convicted and convinced that our role in this world is to DO something and make a difference. But I'm often left feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Deidra's words are such a comfort and encouragement to start right here where I am. Her stories are "small" and relatable while having so much depth and insight. God "calls us to faithfulness in both the miraculous and the mundane" (from chapter 1), and this is a reality she shares throughout the book.One of my favorite quotes comes fr. this book will speak sweet truth into your heart This book is the antidote to our "do big things for God" culture. If you've ever felt your life is too small to make a difference, this book will speak sweet truth into your heart. Deidra uses scripture and her own lovely stories to encourage us that there is no action too small that it doesn't matter to God. Every step we take that brings us closer to God--even the small one--is considered beautiful in God's eyes. Do yourself a favor, spend some time in this book and let Deidra's wise, authentic voice lift your heart and invite God close.
