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.

I have no words for this book, I am not sure how to write a review that will do it justice. WoW comes to mind.
As does the comment ," we all have hard in our lives or we have a friend that has hard in their life. This was such an emotional and hard read.
I love the two authors part their while hearts in this book.
Very sad to type this but Kara Tippets is no longer with us she has gone on to be with Jesus, knowing that a head of time will change a lot as you are reading this book.
Author Jill really tells us how to Just Show Up. I love that about her writing, don't ask how you can help Do something. Just show up.
I read this book in a few hours, I laughed, I cried, and I really was part of the community.
I must tell you if you only read one book this year make it Just Show Up.
I gave this book 5 stars two times. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
