Publisher's Description
There are those who've prepared, and those who wish they had. Let Ready for Anything be your go-to guide for facing any unexpected crisis with confidence. Bad stuff happens all the time--big stuff like hurricanes, wildfires, or national emergencies, and smaller-scale yet no less devastating disasters like a sudden health scare, job loss, or a computer crash. But this doesn't mean we have to live in constant fear. Whether you’re in the midst of difficulty right now or being proactive rather than reactive, Ready for Anything gives finite simple steps for preparing your mind, your heart, and your home for any unfortunate circumstance. Full of stories and humor along with facts, tips, and lists, Kathi offers a down-to-earth guide that will show you how to face the unexpected with confidence, relying on God's strength and plan rather than giving in to our fear and anxiety. Her step-by-step plan is easy to implement and will help any Christian be a better steward of their resources, as well as the neighbor who helps in a crisis rather than needing help themselves. For anyone who falls somewhere between "I'll just trust God" and stocking a ten-year supply of canned pinto beans in the pantry, Ready for Anything will show you: How to prep your pantry for two weeks of meals, plus recipes Essential tips for creating an emergency kit and stocking your supplies Practical strategies for taking stock of your financials and building an emergency fund How to mentally, emotionally, and spiritually prepare and parent your kids in any crisis How to create a five-minute plan and why you need it Indispensable tips for safeguarding your physical and digital valuables And so much more!

“A book of practical wisdom. This is my new manual for living kind, because doing life together means preparing to help others with the big stuff and the small stuff too. It just makes sense because there is no greater joy than being ready to help others when they need it.”
“Fear that the worst might happen tends to sit silently in the backs of our minds. What if a natural disaster happens, our house burns down, or even the unthinkable occurrs? What would we do? How would we protect ourselves and our families? Ready for Anything helps alleviate those fears by teaching us how to wisely prepare for even the most unexpected of events. Kathi’s tips and advice will help you feel at peace and fully prepared for anything that might happen in the future.”
“Kathi Lipp delivers humorous, clever, practical advice for taking stock of your pantry and your life. With pithy, authentic wit and wisdom, Lipp helps prepare you for all those unexpected bumps in the road with simple steps and action plans designed for today’s busy life. KariAnne Wood, Thistlewood Farms When the emergency worker informed us of our daughter’s severe accident, adrenaline and anxiety kicked in. I couldn’t think of what to pack for the drive to get by her side as soon as possible. Now I have Kathi’s plan, giving me and my loved ones the confidence that if something scary happens, we have a plan.”
“Kathi Lipp is a wise guide when wading into the waters of prepping for any crisis, large or small. Ready for Anything provides actionable steps that anyone can do, including those who feel the most unprepared. I grew up in a religious environment that fostered fear regarding apocalyptic disasters, but Kathi’s words calmed my heart without triggering me. Since reading this book, I have already completed several steps and am more prepared today than I was when I started. “Be kind to your future self,” as Kathi says, and read this book.”
“anything. Living in hurricane territory has meant I scramble, hunt, and shop at least once a year here in North Carolina. I’m thrilled to be working through Kathi Lipp’s practical, doable plan so that my household will be prepared for the wind and rain this year (or any other emergency that comes our way). Kathi’s strategy to include our neighbors in our prep makes me especially excited to get started!”
“Oh, let Kathi teach you how to be ready for anything! You will laugh out loud as Kathi eases you into the conversation of being prepared. She teaches you what to know and how to get started. Being prepared doesn’t mean you don’t trust God; it means having the resources to face emergencies or disasters when they come. Thanks, Kathi!”
“Recently, I received a phone call that had me rushing to get on a plane in less than thirty minutes. I was so frazzled from this unexpected family crisis that I couldn’t even think of what to put in my carry-on bag. That later led to a $300 Target trip to provide what I needed for an unplanned week on the other side of the country. I wish I would have read Ready for Anything before this so that Kathi’s wisdom could have prepared me practically for what was coming. I now have a hygiene bag with some basic items that is ready to go if an emergency comes up again. Kathi’s relatable writing and her humor sprinkled throughout will make you feel like your big sister is helping you prepare for things you may never have thought about before. Kathi helped me see how to be wise, not worried, about all the potential unexpected things life can bring.”
