Hi, friends. Thanks so much. This is Janet Partial, and I hope that something you're about to hear from in the market with Janet Partial will encourage you, edify, equip you, enlighten you, and then get you out there in the marketplace to let your light so shine. But before you go, I want to talk to you about this month's Truth Tool. It's called Worth It, Following Jesus When Life Feels Complicated. It's a wonderful book that answers those big questions about

Christianity. Can Jesus be trusted? Is the word true? What about suffering? What about

discouragement? All those questions every one of us have asked and sometimes haven't gotten the

answers to that make us think, maybe I'll just stop following him altogether. It's just not

worth it. Oh, but it is. And that's why I chose this book.
