And Still She Laughs

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“And Still She Laughs moves the reader beyond surface talk and plumbs to the depths of Kate’s heart and God’s word to present the reality of how God works in the dark edges and billowing sorrows of life to bring healing, wholeness, and yes—joy! With rank honesty, touches of humor, and deep insights, Kate shares the gemstones mined from the dark caverns of her life. No Bible passage is merely skimmed or receives an honorable mention. It is obvious that each story has been hashed out, thought out, and lived out in Kate’s life. Personally, I plan on keeping my office stacked with this book to share with the women who visit me to ‘talk.’ It is a compelling, insightful, and, at times, engagingly raw account of how true spirituality is lived out in a fallen world. I loved every word on every page!”

Help! I'm Married to My Pastor

Christian Living

“Oh, my goodness! I was hooked from the foreword to the very last prayer. I already knew I was going to love this book from my interaction with the gracious author, Jani Ortlund. However, I must say, this book exceeded my expectations! It is written with such warmth, humor, understanding, and grace. It is a must for every pastor’s wife. Jani offers sage advice comingled with gentleness, understanding, affirmation, and oodles of encouragement. I plan on buying numerous copies of this book for women I know whose husbands are in God’s service. Every chapter brought tears to my eyes, a smile to my face, and joy to my heart!”
