About this audiobook
LOS ANGELES TIMES AND ECPA BESTSELLER • Kerry and Chris Shook’s grandson Jude lived for only one day after he was born. That one day changed the way they live every day. Now they share their lessons of faith and hope.
Jude Samuel Shook lived through only one sunset and one sunrise. Just one rotation of the planet . . . and he went home to be with God.
Yet the way Jude unwrapped the divine gift of his one day changed the way his grandparents now live every day. A little boy who lived on this earth for just a handful of hard-fought hours caused Kerry and Chris to wonder, How many of our days make a breath of difference to those around us?
Their personal journal of loss, longing, and love eventually became known as the Miracle Book, a record of the ways God showed up in the midst of this hard and unexpected heartbreak. From this book, Kerry and Chris have gleaned fourteen life-altering truths, such as:
• When Tomorrow Is Too Much, Pray Just for Today, Lord
• You Are Dependent on God for Every Breath
• Hard Isn’t the Opposite of Good
• Fear and Faith Can’t Occupy the Same Space
• There Is a Hidden Gift in Every Hurt
These lessons have forever changed the way the Shooks approach each new day. And no matter your current situation, they can do the same for you.
Join Kerry and Chris Shook on the journey of making every day matter!

About the author
Kerry Shook is one of today’s most gifted communicators, offering a clear, contemporary, and creative teaching style. He is the senior pastor of Woodlands Church, one of the fastest-growing churches in America. Kerry and his wife, Chris, founded Woodlands Church, formerly Fellowship of The Woodlands, in 1993; and since then the church has grown to 17,000 in average attendance each weekend. Woodlands Church is now one church in many locations with three campuses in the greater Houston area and thousands joining for church online every weekend. Kerry believes that church should be engaging and fun, calling it “The Best Hour of Your Week.” He strives to eliminate the barriers of boredom, unfriendliness, and fear that keep people from experiencing not just religion but a relationship with Jesus Christ. His messages are relevant, and his illustrations memorable.
Chris Shook, along with her husband, Kerry, founded Woodlands Church outside of Houston, Texas, in 1993. Since then the multicampus church has grown to an attendance of more than 18,000 people and is recognized for its ministries to the poor and powerless. Woodlands Church also has one of the largest fair-trade/direct-trade stores in the country, with the goal of lifting generations out of poverty by empowering their lives with hope. Thousands of people in more than two hundred countries tune in weekly to Pastor Kerry's televised broadcasts. The Shooks' first book, One Month to Live, is a New York Times bestseller. Kerry and Chris have been married for more than thirty years and have four grown children.
