“In a loud and shouty Internet age with more people than ever before vying for our time and attention, learning how to say ‘no’ is a survival skill. One that we women especially need help mastering. Setting healthy boundaries without giving up on community altogether is the biblical life skill that Lysa unpacks with grace, faith, and a great sense of humor in this book. Reading it was like remembering how to exhale.”
“Lysa’s pen is vibrant, her heart pulsates with understanding and warmth, and her yeses are wisdom-sharp. I’m tired of tired. This tome of truth arrived in the nick of time. Thanks, Lysa. I needed to get back on track with my Best Yeses and kind noes.”
“I love The Best Yes! Wise, warm, honest, funny, and do-it-now practical, this guide to making smart decisions is just the thing for those of us who have too much on our calendars and need help to stop the madness. Lysa has clearly lived and learned what works and what doesn’t. Her stories, examples, and advice all ring true, and wisdom pours from every page. This is her best yet!”
“The Best Yes is Lysa at her best: warm, wise, practical, honest. This topic is so timely for me, and for every other busy woman and mom I know, and Lysa has both instructed and inspired me through these wonderful and necessary pages.”
“Like few other women I know, Lysa has the ability to move us from a stuck place to a place of freedom. If you, like me, have spent much of your life saying ‘yes’ to things you wish you had the courage to say ‘no’ to, this book will be a game changer. It’s a book you will want, not just for yourself but for all the women in your life. When we understand the scriptural principles outlined here, then every ‘Yes!’ will be intentional, significant, and wholehearted. Thank you, Lysa!”
