God Calls Us to Do Hard Things: Lessons from the Alabama Wiregrass

2023

Synopsis

With grit and grace, Katie Britt has tackled a lot that life’s thrown at her. From working in her parent’s hardware store, to finding her path at the University of Alabama and marrying the captain of the football team, to an extremely close call with a tornado that destroyed her house while she held her baby in her arms, to her upstart campaign for Senate, Britt has overcome setbacks, defied expectations and shocked the political establishment.

So how did Britt become the youngest woman in the U.S. Senate? GOD CALLS US TO DO HARD THINGS offers the hard-earned lessons and common-sense advice that Britt gained from her experience – and it’s the kind of stuff many young folks need to hear. Topics and themes include:

Focusing us on what you can control.

Being unafraid to fail – while also taking criticism and tough love.

Breaking past the limits we place on ourselves.

Being a change agent – and not a title holder.

Sweating the small stuff of details and process.

Warm, humble and often lighthearted, GOD CALLS US TO DO HARD THINGS is about how a determined young woman decided to enter the arena and make her mark. At a moment when politics feel so toxic and broken, Katie Britt proves that there’s still a way to listen to your heart, serve and inspire.
