Posted on 01 April 2018 by Lisa Gungor

Lisa Gungor thought she knew her own story small town girl meets boy in college and they blissfully walk down the aisle into happily ever after Their Christian faith was their lens and foundation for everything their marriage, their music, their dreams for the future But as their dreams began to come true, she began to wonder if her religion was really representative of the good news she had been taught.She never expected the questions to lead as far as they did when her husband told her he no longer believed in God The death of a friend, the unraveling of relationships and career, the loss of a worldview, and the birth of a baby girl with two heart defects all led Lisa to a tumultuous place one of depression and despair And it was there that her perspective on everything changed The Most Beautiful Thing I ve Seen tells the story of what can happen when you dare to let go of what you think to be true to shift the kaleidoscope and see new colors and dimension by way of broken pieces.Lisa s eloquent, soul stirring memoir brings you to a music stage before thousands of fans and a front porch where two people whisper words that scare them to the core It is the story of how doubt can spark the beginning of deeper faith how a baby born with a broken heart can bring love and healing to the hearts of many, and ultimately, how the hardest experience in life often ends up saving us.
