"And God saw that it was good..."

Look out over the world today, it seems a far cry from God's original declaration. Pain, conflict, and uncertainty dominate the headlines. Our daily lives are noisy and chaotic--filled with too much information and too little wisdom. No wonder we often find it easier to retreat into safe spaces, hunker down in likeminded tribes, and just do our best to survive life.

But what if God wants you to do more than simply survive? What if he wants you to thrive in this world, and be part of its redemption? What if you could rediscover the beauty and goodness God established in the beginning?

By learning the lost art of discernment, you can. Discernment is more than simply avoiding bad things; discernment actually frees you to navigate the world with confidence and joy by teaching you how to recognize and choose good things. When you learn discernment and develop a taste for all that's good, you will encounter God in remarkable new ways. Come, discover the God who not only made all things, but who will also make all things good once again.

ARE YOU PURSUING WHAT'S SAFE...

OR WHAT'S GOOD?

One glance at the headlines will tell you that the world is a dangerous, confusing place. Forget the headlines--just look at your social media feed. From global tragedies to interpersonal conflict, it can feel like the only choice you have left is to hunker down and do your best to survive.

But what if God wants more for you in this life than survival? Better yet, what if He has a plan to restore the goodness of the world? What if you're part of that plan?

In All That's Good, Hannah Anderson invites you to embrace discernment as part of God's larger work of redemption. By learning to see the world as He sees it--in all its brokenness and beauty--you'll learn how to navigate it with hope and confidence. And when you learn to pursue whatever is true and lovely and pure and just, you'll find yourself changed.

So come, join in this journey to wisdom. Come, find the freedom of discernment. Come, discover all that's good.
